Pros
Super unique design
Very solid audio
Cons
No Netflix app, booo!
This table-top projector has one of the most unique designs we’ve seen, sitting on a cool magnetic stand that’s sure to turn heads. It’s not as bright as some Epson models on our list and the resolution tops out at 720p, but we love that it comes with an Android TV dongle for easy streaming.

Very affordable
Cons
Low resolution
Low display size
If you’re in money saving mode, the NeoPix Easy gives you a taste of the projector lifestyle without breaking the bank. You’ll have to use it in the dark – and the picture won’t be in high resolution – but hey, this still projects images bigger than many TVs.
