This FHD projector lets you watch Netflix on a massive 200-inch display… and it costs less than your AirPods




Costing roughly as much as you’d spend on Netflix in a year, the Jireno CUBE4 lets you watch your favorite shows in FHD on a sprawling 200-inch projected surface. Touted as the “world’s brightest 100-percent sealed portable projector”, the CUBE4 clocks in at 500 ANSI lumens coupled with HDR10+ for incredibly vivid detail, and a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. It runs at 1080p, although the projector supports 4K decoding, comes with a built-in smart TV system, has its own integrated speakers, and flaunts a price tag of less than $200.

For under two Benjamins, the Jireno CUBE4 makes pretty lofty promises. Sure, it isn’t a 4K multimedia device, but then again, it delivers an absolute bang for its buck. The projector comes with a compact design that’s reminiscent of the Anker Nebula Mars 2, with its handle on top that lets you carry it around the place, so you can bring the party to your friends’ houses. Although it’s marketed as a portable projector, the one thing it lacks is an internal battery, so having a power-source nearby is a must.

On the design front, the Cube4 has an all-aluminum body which, aside from giving the projector its premium aesthetic, also helps with heat dispersion, allowing the projector to stay cool at all times – a feature further reinforced by the CUBE4’s potent inner cooling system. The projector runs its own version of Android TV, titled JIOS, which supports all major titles from Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO, to even YouTube, Spotify, and social networks like FaceBook, Twitter, and TikTok. The projector comes with its own remote control, and can be further paired with your set-top box, laptop, or even gaming console via HDMI and USB-A, or your phone via Chromecast or AirPlay and other gadgets via the traditional Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi.

Equipped with a hand strap, allowing it to be carried easily to whatever location.

The CUBE4 supports 4K decoding and boasts a native resolution of 1920 x 1080P. This assures a cinema-level experience, whether you project a 30-inch image against a bedroom wall or utilize the side of your garage as a 200-inch screen.

With HDR10+ support, CUBE4 can provide you with richer light and dark details, so that your TV programs, movies, and sports events have a more natural color transition and more realistic images.

CUBE4 is fitted with 6D automatic correction, it quickly calculates the change in keystone error and readjust the image.

The CUBE4’s completely sealed design actually reinforces its portability. The fact that specks of dust can’t get in keeps the lens system clear, and the CUBE4’s 6D automatic keystone correction lets you place the projector at any angle and still have a perfectly rectangular, aligned image every time. The CUBE4 packs its own powerful 5W speakers for booming audio, and even throws in a 3.5mm audio input if you want to plug your own speakers in. The FHD projector’s most impressive feature, however, remains its price. Available on Kickstarter for an Early Bird $197, the CUBE4 is a fraction of the cost of your average smartphone, with the capability of pumping out a 200-inch display while costing effectively the same price as a smartwatch with a 3-inch display. You can grab the projector as a standalone unit, or opt for a bundle that also includes a tripod, an 84″ projector screen, and a carrying case for your CUBE4. Deliveries begin in February 2022.

Beam, the smart projector that works like a lamp

Beam smart projector 1

A group of engineers from LA are working on a solution to the issue of sharing media with groups without having to carry screens around. This solution is Beam.

In the last few years several users and media enthusiasts have switched from screens to projectors, after growing frustrated at trying to find a good, proper screen. And while a projectors’ quality is undeniable, they are severely lacking in the portability field – that is, unless this KickStarter turns out right. What you see in this feature is called beam, and it can turn any flat surface into a giant screen from a little projector that can be plugged in like any bulb.

Beam is a mini projector with a computer inside that allows users to play games, watch movies, or share content from smartphones or tablets on any wall. Using an app for either Android or iOS Beam can be configured as a projector, and by connecting it to any light socket or plugging it straight to a wall using its companion cable it will turn into a giant, light and portable screen of sorts.

Beam can be associated with any Android or iOS gadget, but also works by itself and allows users to watch TV, play games, project recipes on the kitchen or even reproduce music through its speakers. Beam is all about versatility, giant screens and portability, and we can’t think of any other gadgets where these three values meet. Furthermore, the visual aspect isn’t compromised either: Beam is quite pretty, as you can tell in these pics.

This project will be brought to life via a Kickstarter project, where they have already gotten the money for the initial development, and have doubled what they asked for tackling some of the famous stretch goals, adding new features and characteristics to Beam itself. If you like what you see, you should know you can buy one for some $400 USD – at least before it reaches its commercial stage.

 

Beam Portable Projector Is a Smart Replacement for Light Bulbs

Beam Smart Projector 02

Projectors don’t often make the news, and if they do, it’s because they’re getting more portable. Beam is a smart projector with an unusual form factor that’s meant to change the way we’re using such devices.

There are two things that seem ubiquitous in our lives: mobile devices and sources of artificial light. Beam is a smart projector that merely acts as a bridge between the two, while focusing on new surfaces to project pictures and videos on.

Developed by Beam Labs, this patent pending projector was designed to screw in light bulb sockets and project images on tables or other nearby surfaces. When used for this purpose, the Beam also doubles as an LED light, so the functionality of the lamp you’d install it on is not lost.

The light socket compatible smart projector itself is running Android, but the companion app is available for both Android and iOS devices. Once installed, it can be used for projecting pictures or videos using Airplay or Miracast. Its applications are numerous, including projecting movies on the ceiling, displaying Powerpoint presentations, projecting menus on a restaurant’s wall, and so on.

Besides Wi-Fi, Beam also uses Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to various devices, and since most (if not all) modern day smartphones and tablets feature these connectivity options, there will be no issues establishing a connection.

Apart from the broadcasting technologies that are implemented into it, you might think that this projector doesn’t differ that much from its counterparts. However, the “if this then that” approach would prove you wrong right away. Beam can be scheduled to trigger certain actions when specific events take place. For example, if your significant other comes home from work and connects to the local Wi-Fi network, the projector starts playing a video message you left for him or her.

Beam is currently featured on Kickstarter, where its developers are looking to raise $200,000 by March 24, so that the smart projector enters mass production. According to Kicktraq, the goal will not only be reached, but also surpassed many times, if the current trend continues. In that scenario, anyone who has pledged $369 or more as an early bird, or $399 as a regular backer will get the Beam smart projector with the fabric cable in October 2015.
