The Aurzen E1R is a palm-size projector with Roku TV licensed and running natively on the device, which means the streaming apps, the remote, and the interface are the same ones people already know from a Roku TV rather than a generic Android launcher with sideloaded apps. WiFi and Bluetooth are onboard, so it connects to a network and to a speaker without a dongle hanging off the back. Auto keystone squares the image when the projector is not perfectly centered. Brightness is sized for a dark room rather than a lit living room, which is the honest tradeoff every projector this small makes. Best fit: bedrooms, dorms, camping trips, and backyard movie nights after dark.

- Brightness is built for a dark room, so a lit living room will wash the picture out
Frequently asked questions
Does it need a streaming stick plugged in?
No. Roku runs on the projector itself, so you sign in to your Roku account and the apps are already there.
How big a picture can it throw?
It scales up to a large image, but usable size depends on room darkness. In a fully dark room a 100-inch image looks good; brighter rooms need you to pull it in smaller.
Can I use it outside for a backyard movie?
Yes, after full dark. It needs an outlet or a portable power station, and the picture will not compete with porch lights or a streetlamp.
Does it have built-in speakers?
It has onboard audio that works for a small room, and Bluetooth for pairing a better speaker, which is worth doing for anything longer than a short clip.
