Lots of cool movies are coming out this summer, but who wants to go to the theater when you can get the whole experience at home? Digital projectors have advanced to bring us nearly cinema-quality visuals at surprisingly low prices. We're expecting to see a slate of projector deals on Amazon Prime Day when it begins tomorrow, but if you don't want to wait, we've hunted down big discounts that are available right now, with more on the way.

Don’t miss out on any of the savings. Make sure to keep an eye on our round-up of the Best Early Prime Day 2025 Deals

Let's lead off with an attractive 30% discount on a projector that's an excellent choice for a family room, with a long-lasting LED light source that'll last for 25,000 hours, plus an integrated Android TV that makes it simple for anyone to access your streaming services, plus two HDMI ports for external input. We had a lot of good things to say about it in our review, noting that setup was extremely easy. A pair of built-in 8W Harman-Kardon speakers handle the audio side ably, and auto keystone correction up to 40 degrees makes it simple to obtain the clearest, biggest picture up to 200 inches on the diagonal.

For something a little more portable, we like the Anker Nebula Capsule 3, especially at a 25% early-Prime Day discount. In our review of this capable cylinder, we noted that it was a breeze to cart around, weighing in at just under two pounds, but still delivered solid HDR image quality and decent sound from the built-in speaker. At just 200 lumens of brightness, it doesn't compete well with ambient light, so you'll need a dark room inside or to wait until the sun has set outside for optimal picture quality. Built-in Google TV means you don't need to hook it up to a computer or external video source to tap into all your favorite streaming services.

For something that you don't plan to move around, this was our pick for the best TV-replacement projector on the market. In our review, we ran down the many exceptional qualities of this pricey projector, including a massively bright laser-phosphor light source paired with three-chip LCD color for zero rainbow bleeding. No matter what you use this for, it'll excel. Fast refresh rate makes it a top pick for sports and gaming, rich color quality makes movies look cinematic, and you can access all of your streamers with built-in Android TV 11. Setup can take a little bit, but once you have it in focus you'll never need to relocate it again.
