We're gearing up for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days coming soon (October 7), when the biggest of online retailers will be dropping prices on thousands of must-have tech products and more. We love a great deal and want to get a jump on the rush. Therefore, we brought you the bright, crisp, and portable projector models that are great for gaming, movies, sports, and more. Here are some of the best projectors on the market at sizable discounts, and we'll update you with new deals as they come in and through Big Deal Days.
Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Deal
You’ll love how the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 projector slips into a backpack, then auto-focuses and gets you watching fast. The picture looks pleasing in a dim room and holds shadow detail in darker scenes, so movies don’t turn into mush. The speaker is punchy enough for a bedroom or patio, and the battery lets you finish a film without hunting for outlets. The Google TV interface is simple to live with. As M. David Stone puts it, “A big plus if you use Netflix is that the licensed app is already installed and works without problems in my tests,” and he rated it “Excellent” in our Anker Nebula Capsule 3 review. It is discounted by $150 right now.
Xgimi Halo+
Discounted by 38% right now, the Xgimi Halo+ is the grab-and-go movie night you actually use. You toss it on a coffee table, it auto-focuses, and you’re streaming in minutes with Android TV. Bright enough for a cozy living room, with punchy built-in sound that saves you from hauling speakers. The battery handles a full film, so backyard screenings are easy. It’s also an Editors’ Choice winner, which tracks. In his 2022 review, M. David Stone puts it finely, saying “the Xgimi Halo+ should be on your short list as the model that others need to beat,” which he rated Excellent. Nice price at the end, too.

Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K
On a $750 discount right now, the Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K gives you a theater-style experience you can actually carry around thanks to its built-in handle. Movies and sports look sharp in 4K, and the sound easily fills a large room without the need for extra speakers. Android TV keeps things smooth for streaming, and the licensed Netflix app is a real convenience. In his Cosmos Laser 4K review, M. David Stone pointed out that “good-quality audio is an essential feature for a well-designed room-to-room portable projector,” rating it “Good” overall. For backyard or living room setups, it brings serious big-screen fun.
