If you come around to movie night at my house, you won't find a TV but a projector — since picking up the Nebula by Anker Prizm II model in 2019 I've transformed into an aficionado for this way of watching movies and TV shows and I refuse to go back.
Projectors give you such a huge amount of viewing room that I now have to squint to see TVs; plus, the fact that you position them in the center of your room means that you get truly room-filling sound, instead of a tiny peep from one corner. The fact that you can easily pack them up when you don't need them also helps, given that I live in a studio flat.
Between all the movies and TV shows I check out for What to Watch, all the movie box sets I like to pick up for fun and the copious hours of video games I played in lockdown, I must have used the Prizm II for well over a thousand hours: I really like the little guy.
I thought I'd be happy using it until it broke, but Prime Day deals on projectors began on Tuesday, October 10 and now I'm getting seriously tempted to upgrade. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with my current Prizm II, but I can't deny the allure of a new, shiny gadget, especially one that's more portable or offers 4K viewing.
The biggest draw is the price cuts on many of the models available though; there are hundreds of pounds or dollars off some expensive picks. So in order to try and dissuade myself from spending more money on these projectors (after buying all these DVD box set deals) I'm going to write up some of my favorite, in case you're interested. Just note that I haven't actually used these (I wouldn't be considering buying them if I already owned them), but I did spend years covering tech before joining What to Watch, so I do know a thing or two about what to look for.
By the way, if you'd rather look for yourself, you can find Amazon US projector deals here and Amazon UK projector deals here.
