Spring has sprung and summer's coming, so why not head out to the backyard for movie night under the stars? It’s much easier than you think — and we found a great deal. This Apeman Mini Projector is on sale for a ridiculous $50, or $30 off, with on-page coupon at Amazon. That's a 60 percent savings and the all-time lowest price on this popular projector. In fact, it's so popular that it has earned a five-star rating from more than 6,400 reviewers. Don't have a backyard? Turn your living room, bedroom, basement or den into your own personal drive-in (okay, make that "walk-in).
And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? Just sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
Small, yet mighty
Don't let that "mini" in its name fool you: This Apeman digital projector is a big-time overachiever, with 4,500 lumens of brightness and Full HD resolution at 1080p. It can project movies up to 15 feet high on a flat surface, like a projection screen, a wall, a ceiling or even a big bed sheet.
Dual speakers turn out superb audio — though you might want to connect portable speakers for a little more oomph when watching outside. We love that its cooling fan is nearly silent.
"Fantastic — this projector is amazing. We used it for family movie night," shared a delighted five-star reviewer. "It took about five minutes to set up. My biggest worry was sound, but I was pleased. The sound is great even without a sound bar, but it was easy to add a sound bar to make sound even louder. We had no trouble running YouTube, Amazon, Netflix and other services with a laptop. The picture is sharp and clear."
Bring it and stream it
While this Apeman Mini Digital Projector doesn’t have video streaming built-in, you can bring your own media to the party with its USB-A, VGA and HDMI ports. Use a simple flash drive, connect your laptop or watch with Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV Stick or Chromecast. You can even hook up a video game console like Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo Switch via HDMI for gaming in a (literally) big way with no latency or lag.
"I couldn’t be happier with this projector! Great quality at an amazing price," raved a delighted five-star Amazon reviewer. "It works great connected to a computer, Xbox and even my iPhone. It doesn’t lag and the speaker on the projector is pretty good. I don’t even need to connect it to another speaker while watching a show. It’s very intuitive and the remote makes it easier to work with and figure out. The resolution is amazing; it almost looks like an HDTV."
To sum up: At just $50 (was $80), this Apeman Mini Digital Projector delivers crystal-clear visuals and brilliant audio. Oh, and it's pretty too. "...This projector is sleek," added another five-star reviewer. "The matte white finish looks amazing and really pulls the device together. It has all the ports you could need for a projector...The picture is really crisp compared to my last projector which was surprising to me because I didn't really think the jump would have been that substantial. The fact that this projector has speakers is literally amazing!..."
