Amazon Has a Best-Selling Projector on Sale for Just $59 — and Yes, It’ll Arrive Before the Super Bowl

A friend and I went to see Nosferatu a couple weeks ago and spent a combined $50 at the theater after each getting a beer and some popcorn. Meanwhile, Amazon has a best-selling projector with more than 6,200 five-star ratings that’s on sale for $59 today.

As a lifelong collector of movies and a home theater geek, I’m a big fan of affordable projectors because they open the gates for so many people who otherwise would never have wanted to deal with the hassle (or cost) of having cinema-size viewing at home. In the past decade, HD projectors have become progressively more lightweight, more user-friendly, and infinitely cheaper — and Amazon shoppers say this Happrun Bluetooth projector is a prime example of that. Even better? It’ll arrive in time to set up before the Super Bowl.

This projector, like any at this price level, has a native 1080p resolution. That means a picture that’s full HD but not 4K. Unless you want to see the fine details in every pixel, you won’t notice the difference because you’ll be marveling at the sheer size of the image it creates — which can stretch enough to fill up to a 200-inch screen.

The device itself is only 9.5 inches wide, 8.3 inches deep, and 3.8 inches tall, and it weighs less than 5 pounds. The size of the picture you’ll be able to get will depend on how much space you have in the room where you’re setting up the projector. To get the maximum size of 200 inches, for instance, the projector needs to be 16.4 feet from the screen, and the picture gets smaller the closer it moves to the screen.

It currently ranks second among Amazon’s best-selling projectors, and buyers have been impressed with what they’ve gotten for the price. “The picture quality is stunning,” wrote one shopper. “Colors are vibrant, details are sharp, and it handles fast-moving scenes flawlessly. Watching movies on this feels like being at the cinema.”

The easiest way to set up the projector is just to rest it on a table or tripod — the latter is super portable — but I recommend mounting it from the ceiling if you plan to use it permanently. That way you don’t have to worry about blocking the image when you’re walking around the room. Any standard projector mount will work with this model (the ceiling mount I use is also on sale right now). You can either buy a projector screen or beam it onto any white wall.

Happrun’s projector has an HDMI port, which you can connect to any streaming stick, current gaming system, or Blu-ray player. My projector also has only one HDMI port, but I bought this cheap remote-controlled HDMI splitter that lets me plug five devices into that single input.

“This projector is such a great deal,” said a second shopper. “The resolution delivers sharp, clear images, especially in dark rooms, and it’s super easy to use. It’s portable, high-quality, and perfect for movie nights in bed.”

The projector also has two USB ports, an AV input, and a 3.5mm audio jack. If you hate wires, this projector can also connect via Bluetooth to headphones, a speaker, or sound bar for an instant upgrade over the small speaker it has built in. Reviews say the noise its cooling fan makes — a major issue with some higher-end projectors — is hardly noticeable.

Amazon has a ton of options to choose from, but the deal on this Happrun Bluetooth projector is tough to top. Shop a few more great projector deals below, including a short-throw 4K projector for $700 off that lets you get a huge picture even in a small space.
