Our take on the Mini Projector with Wi-Fi and Screen Mirroring

This is a compact LCD projector with a native 1920 x 1080 resolution, Wi-Fi and USB input, and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio in a white body. The native 1080p panel is the main selling point at this size; many budget mini projectors claim 1080p support but only accept a 1080p signal and downscale it. Wi-Fi and screen mirroring let you cast from a phone or laptop without cables. No price was provided for this listing, so check the current best price against its recent range before buying.

Pros
  • Native 1080p LCD panel, not just 1080p input support
  • Wi-Fi and screen mirroring built in
  • Compact white body that is easy to move between rooms
  • 5,000:1 contrast ratio is decent for an LCD mini projector
  • USB port for flash drives and streaming sticks
Cons
  • LCD mini projectors are dim; expect a usable picture only in a dark room
  • No built-in battery listed, so it needs a power outlet
  • Single built-in speaker is usually weak; plan on external audio
  • No optical zoom, so you position it by moving it
  • Fan noise is common in this class

Questions and answers

Is native 1080p worth it over a 720p mini projector?
Yes, if you watch HD movies or stream shows. A native 1080p panel resolves fine text and detail that a 720p projector blurs, and it avoids the soft look of a 1080p signal downscaled to 720p. The trade-off is that 1080p mini projectors usually cost more.
How bright is it, and can I use it with the lights on?
Brightness is not listed, and LCD mini projectors in this class are typically a few hundred lumens at best. Treat it as a dark-room projector; with lights on, the picture will look washed out.
Does screen mirroring work with iPhone and Android?
Wi-Fi screen mirroring is listed as a feature, and most projectors of this type support both AirPlay-style casting from iPhones and Miracast from Android phones. Some apps block casting because of DRM, so check before relying on it for paid streaming services.
What do I need to connect a game console or streaming stick?
You need an HDMI source device; the listing names Wi-Fi and USB but not HDMI, so confirm the port before buying. A streaming stick can also draw power from the USB port if the projector supplies enough current.
How large a picture can it throw, and how far away?
Throw distance and screen size are not listed. Mini projectors of this type usually give roughly a 60 to 100 inch picture from about 6 to 10 feet, so measure your room before buying.
When is the best time to buy?
Projectors see the deepest discounts around Black Friday, back-to-school season and Prime Day events. Compare the current price with its recent range on this page rather than assuming a sale price is a good one.
