Projectors can be a good upgrade, especially if you want to watch movies on a larger screen but don't want the commitment of a big TV. You can also use them to project games from your phone.

There are many types of projectors out there that range from low to high quality with different price points. Some things to look out for are the resolution, throw distance, and contrast ratio, to name a few. 

But if all those terms are too confusing, you could also check reviews and make sure that you're purchasing from trusted sellers. 

This projector has three different versions: Basic (RM237.50), Mirroring (RM277.10), and Android (RM395.90).

All of the models support HDMI, VGA, USB, and TF card connections. They also come with an in-built sound system that several reviews say is pretty decent. Optionally, there's a 3.5mm audio port for you to attach external speakers as well.

Both models are equipped with in-built speakers on each side, as well as a 3.5mm audio input if you want to connect it to other speakers or headphones.

For a more budget-friendly option, this small projector can be an option. It doesn't have an extremely perfect resolution, so just prepare your expectations that you pay for what you get. Some reviews say that it works fine if it's just for cartoons or videos.

It has its own USB and HDMI port along with a remote control. Take note that you will need to get your own HDMI cable to connect it, as this doesn't include one.

It comes in two colours: yellow and white (RM129) and black and white (RM139).
