Amazon October Prime Day may be winding down, but big deals on the best projectors for watching sports are heating up. In fact, some outdoor Projector and portable projector deals are just getting started.
Aside from purchasing a new 4K TV (such as the bestselling Samsung ‘The Frame’ television on sale for Prime Day), one of the best ways to watch the 2023 NFL season is with a projector. They can project massive images up to 150 inches across — and sometimes more.
Projectors are able to give you larger-than-life visuals when projected on a screen or flat wall. Some of the best battery-powered portable projectors have batteries built in, so you can enjoy the game and the outdoors at the same time.
Amazon’s best-selling portable projector is on sale for October Prime Day 2023.

What to look for in a portable projector
We like the idea of being able to catch the game anywhere, and a portable projector is the perfect way to do just that. You can even use a portable projector to set up an outdoor game-watching party — you and your friends could be watching baseball while grilling on the porch or lounging in the pool.
Price: You can get a capable portable projector for under $100, but if you want the best and brightest picture, expect to pay much more. Still, even an expensive portable projector will save you money over an outdoor TV such as Samsung’s “The Terrace.”
Connectivity: We looked for models that connect wirelessly (no cord tangle here) with a wide Bluetooth compatibility easily connectable to a variety of Bluetooth speakers. We looked for a long lamp life and cooling system as well as the latest noise suppression technology.
Resolution: Look for a projector with Full HD (1920×1080) and compare Lumen (brightness) when assessing any projector. The brightness will dictate where and when you can (or can’t) use your projector. The bigger the picture you want to enjoy, the more brightness you’ll need.
Battery life is important too. Many portable projectors have a built-in battery for when a wall socket is hard to come by.
