A portable 720p DLP LED projector with a built-in battery and a magnetic base that rotates the lens through 135 degrees, so it can point at a wall or the ceiling. It ships with a QS01 Android TV dongle, auto focus, auto vertical keystone and a 2.1-channel speaker system that also works as a Bluetooth speaker. It suits dark-room movie nights and casual use around the home rather than bright rooms.
