The Best Outdoor Projectors for High-Quality Alfresco Flicks
There's nothing better than movies at home.
As much as we welcome warm weather, sometimes summer days are too hot, so the only time to enjoy being outside is at night. That's when the best outdoor projectors come in handy. So if you're not exactly a chef and the idea of inviting your friends over for an alfresco feast gives you a headache, skip it and do a movie night under the stars instead. The best part? Sometimes outdoor flicks are even better from the comfort of your own backyard hangout than they are from a theater.
Allow us to set the scene (no pun intended): You're relaxing in your yard amid a sea of plush blankets and outdoor pillows (atop a picnic blanket so that they don’t get ruined or dirty), plenty of bowls filled with snacks, and the crisp audio and visuals of the film of your choice. Though you don’t always need a screen to make this dream a reality, it can come in handy. Otherwise, if you have a smooth, white surface onto which you can project your favorite movie or show (like a bed sheet or the side of your house), you can skip the screen.
Ahead, we've rounded up our favorite outdoor projectors that will surely make warm summer nights that much more fun. So make your house the go-to place to hang out for your friends and family, and snag a portable projector that can handle any weather thrown its way. Now that we're already a few days into summer, there's officially no excuse to wait—especially because almost all of our top picks are on sale!
