A mini projector turns any bedroom wall, or the ceiling, into a screen. For a bedroom, look for built-in apps, a stand that tilts and a quiet way to fall asleep. Here are five, plus the snack fridge.
1. Movies, then stars
The Mini Projector with Starry Sky Mode has YouTube and Prime Video built in, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2. After the film, switch to one of nine animated night-sky scenes with a sleep timer. It rotates 180° and has auto keystone and a short throw.
2. Watch on the ceiling
The AKIYO Mini Projector sits on a 360° stand, so you can project onto the ceiling and watch lying down. It has Wi-Fi, casting without a network, Bluetooth 5.2, 1080p support and auto keystone.
3. Apps out of the box
The TMY Smart Mini Projector has Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube ready out of the box, Wi-Fi 6 for smoother streaming, two-way Bluetooth 5.2, and HDMI and USB for a console.
4. Plug in your phone
The Mini Projector with USB-C Phone Mirroring mirrors streaming apps from your phone over a USB-C cable, without the black screen you can get with wireless mirroring. It's native 1080p with a built-in speaker.
5. Screen included
The Mini 1080p Projector with 80 in Screen comes with a foldable screen, which helps if your walls are colored or textured.
And the snacks
The BLACK+DECKER 2.5 cu ft Compact Fridge is Energy Star certified, with two glass shelves, a chiller compartment and door bins that take 2-liter bottles. The door is reversible, so it fits whichever side of the bed you need.
Tips for a bedroom setup
- A plain, light wall gives the best picture; a sheet works in a pinch.
- Put the projector on a shelf behind the bed so nobody walks through the beam.
- Pair a small Bluetooth speaker for bigger sound.
