I have never owned a projector and I’m not an audio- or cinephile. I often have neighbors over at the fire pit, and showing a movie would be fun sometimes.

Recommend a luggable projector setup? I don’t mind it being cabled to power or input - I’m not going far from the house. I was thinking I might build a little cart to store and deploy it easily. I see battery powered and lightweight units which are great I’m sure, but I don’t need to pay extra for those features.

I’m also looking for info on projector screens. Sadly, there’s no suitable place to mount one so it’ll need to be on a stand or something too.

    Normally the trapezoid shape can be corrected, but on the really cheap models I wouldn’t count on it working that well.

    You could also look at your local second hand markets for a better quality one at a reasonable price, but make sure to check if replacement lamps are available and if they’re easy to replace on the particular model.
