Stepping down a bit in price, this LG LED Minibeam projector offers a display that isn’t quite as crisp as some of the more costly units on this list, but at 854 x 480, it still delivers an enjoyable experience. At just over 0.5 pounds and only 1.72 inches high by 4.23 inches wide, this projector fits easily in the palm of your hand.
The built-in battery lasts up to 2 hours, and you can connect to this projector with a variety of devices. Of course, for additional power, you could always pick up one of the high-tech camping accessories from Camping World, like a 100-watt portable solar panel. The rear of the unit offers a headphone jack along with HDMI and USB ports. You can also wirelessly connect with Androids.
The PV150G lacks a high-quality built-in speaker, but this isn’t its biggest weakness. For some reason, wireless connectivity only supports Android or Windows OS. So, those with Apple products won’t be able to connect to this projector, which is an added hassle for some. Overall, customers on Amazon rated this product 3.3 out of 5 stars and pointed to positives such as its comprehensive settings, build quality, and automatic keystone adjustment. However, iOS users were less than happy with the lack of connectivity, and some didn’t like that the unit required a remote for initial setup with no option to configure it directly from the projector itself.
