Is 150 lumens bright enough?

Only in a dark or heavily dimmed room. At 150 lumens it will look washed out in daylight or with lamps on, and a 60- to 80-inch image is a realistic ceiling.

Yes, the native resolution is 1280 x 720. It accepts a 1080p HDMI signal but downscales it to 720p, so text and fine detail look soft.

Do I need a streaming stick?

No. Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video are built in, and Wi-Fi is on board. You still need an HDMI source for anything not covered by the installed apps.

Can I connect a soundbar or headphones?

Over Bluetooth, yes. There is no audio output jack, so wired headphones and speakers will not work.

Does it have a battery?

No. It is plug-in only, so you need an outlet near where you set it up.

Our take on the HP Mini Smart Projector

The HP Mini Smart Projector is a palm-sized 720p LCD projector with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video without a stick or box. Its 150-lumen LED light source suits dark rooms and small screens, not daylight viewing. It has one HDMI input, manual focus and needs wall power.
