Movie theaters might be reopening in some states, but the pandemic isn’t over. It’s still a good idea to consider this classic viewing tech. You used to have to shell out tens of thousands of dollars to get an excellent projected experience, but you can now get a massive, beautiful picture for less than the cost of a flagship TV. Projectors are also much more portable and easier to set up than they were before.
