Whether it is for a family vacation or a summer road trip, a portable projector is an affordable gadget that will ensure a good time, rain or shine!  As technology becomes more advanced, smaller projectors are offering better picture quality.

Below, are a few great portable projectors to choose from:
 
LG PH450UG, LG PF1000UW & LG HF85JA
 
These three LG models are excellent selections in the “ultra short throw” category.  The throw distance range for these projectors can be as short as 2.5 to 18 inches while still projecting an image larger than most flat screens you find in hotel rooms.  Each model weighs in at less than seven pounds, which is convenient if you are flying and need to cut down on your baggage weight.  In terms of brightness, the LG PH450UG has 450 lumens, which is not excellent.  But the LG PF1000UW and LG HF85JA models have 1000 and 1500 lumens, respectively, which will be fine once you draw the shades.

Optoma ML750ST
 
This “pocket” projector fits in the palm of your hand and weighs less than two pounds, including the power block.  Still, this tiny device can project a 50-inch diagonal image at 34 inches from the screen.  The Optoma ML750ST has received glowing reviews of its image quality in spite of its 700-lumen rating.

The Casio XJ-A257 is a portable projector that packs a ton of features in a slim package.  The projector features Wi-Fi connectivity and 2 gigabytes of internal memory, provides 3000 lumens of brightness and can project at a distance as short at three feet.  All this in a five-pound projector!

AAXA HD
 
This AAXA model is a 14 cubic square inch box that will be easy to pack for your trip.  At less than one pound, the AAXA HD projector will fit in the palm of your hand.  Though the projector’s brightness is only 50 lumens, its 17-inch minimum throw distance will fit perfectly in any space.

In the past, it was either too expensive to own a projector at home or the picture quality just wasn’t good enough.  Over the years, however, the quality and selection have improved, and the prices have lowered.
 
BenQ HT2550
This BenQ model with its 4K picture quality makes sure that fans will be able to tell the teams apart thanks to its incredible 8.3 million distinct color pixels.  The projector’s 2,200 lumens should be bright enough for most living rooms.

Optoma UHD50
This projector excels at showing action with sharp focus from side to side and top to bottom of the screen.  Furthermore, its color balance is well tuned, and with an impressive 500,000 to 1 contrast ratio and 2,400 lumens of brightness, the picture will be perfect.

Epson Home Cinema 5040UB
This Epson model features an excellent 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio, 2,500 lumens, and three 1080p LCD chips.  And with Epson’s 4k-Enhancement pixel-shifting technology, the projector’s image looks closer to true 4K than 1080p.  In addition, the motion refresh rate on the Epson Home Cinema 5040UB is superior in quality, making it ideal for the World Cup.  (Fast motion refresh rates are important as they give you a nice smooth picture when it comes to tracking the ball.)
