Now that summer is in full swing, why not take advantage of clear night skies by watching a movie under the stars? It’s much easier than you think—and we found a great deal. This Apeman Mini Projector is on sale for $100, or $30 off at Amazon.

Shoppers say it’s so bright, you can even use it outside during the day.

Small, yet mighty

This mini digital projector is small yet mighty, with 3,800 lumens of brightness and Full HD resolution at 1080p. It can project movies up to 15 feet high on a flat surface, like a projection screen, a wall, a ceiling or even a big bed sheet.

Dual speakers turn out superb audio—though you might want to connect portable speakers for a little more power when watching outside. We love that its cooling fan is nearly silent.

“Fantastic—this projector is amazing. We used it for family movie night,” shares a delighted five-star reviewer. “It took about five minutes to set up. My biggest worry was sound, but I was pleased. The sound is great even without a sound bar, but it was easy to add a sound bar to make sound even louder. We had no trouble running YouTube, Amazon, Netflix and other services with a laptop. The picture is sharp and clear.”

Bring it and stream it

While this Apeman Mini Digital Projector doesn’t have video streaming built-in, you can bring your own media to the party with its USB-A, VGA and HDMI ports. Use a simple flash drive, connect your laptop or watch with Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV Stick or Chromecast. You can even connect a video game console like Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch via HDMI for gaming in a big way with no latency or lag.

“This little projector packs quite a punch,” adds a satisfied shopper. “Wow! I'm so happy we splurged on this for our family gathering and perfect for our family movie time on Netflix and Amazon Fire TV. I even tried to play games with my PS4 and I have to say I am very impressed with it because the quality is clear and the room doesn't have to be pitch black.”

Bottom line

At just $100, this Apeman Mini Digital Projector delivers a crystal-clear picture and brilliant audio.

“I couldn’t be happier with this projector! Great quality at an amazing price,” says another five-star Amazon reviewer. “It works great connected to a computer, Xbox and even my iPhone. It doesn’t lag and the speaker on the projector is pretty good. I don’t even need to connect it to another speaker while watching a show. It’s very intuitive and the remote makes it easier to work with and figure out. The resolution is amazing; it almost looks like an HD TV.”
