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.

    I pack a couple of extra reusable grocery bags and put heavy stuff in them, then hang them from the stands as close to the ground as I can get without them touching the ground. Also, try to set up your screen where it’s protected from the wind, any amount of breeze is going to be distracting.

    The projector I have came with a remote and a full Google TV that plugs into one of the HDMI ports. Sometimes I plug in my game console, or cast to it from my phone, it’s really flexible.
