The Aurzen Roku TV D1R is a portable 1080p projector with the Roku platform built directly in, so Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, YouTube, and the free Roku Channel run off the projector itself instead of a dongle hanging out the back. Autofocus and auto keystone correction square and sharpen the image as soon as you set it down, which is the difference between a five-minute setup and twenty minutes of nudging. The interface is the standard Roku home screen with search and recommendations, driven by a simple remote. A Roku account and internet connection are required for activation, and creating the account is free. Best fit: backyard movie nights, dorm rooms, and guest rooms that never got a TV.
Pros
- Roku is built in, so there is no streaming stick to power, pair, and lose
- Autofocus and auto keystone square the image the moment you set it down
- 1080p native, which holds up on a large wall in a way 720p portables do not
Cons
- It needs a Roku account and an internet connection to activate, so it is not a plug-and-play offline device
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a streaming stick?
No. Roku runs natively on the projector, so Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and YouTube launch from the home screen.
Do I need a Roku account?
Yes, activation requires a free Roku account and an internet connection.
Does it focus itself?
Yes. Autofocus and auto keystone correction adjust the image automatically when you place it, with manual override available.
How big a screen can it throw?
It projects a large image suitable for a wall or outdoor screen. Picture brightness drops as size increases, so a dark room or after-dark outdoor use gives the best result.
