We have featured some very inexpensive projectors in the past, but this one looks like it throws in some pretty good performance for a reasonable price. This machine has the stats and the features to make it a feature in many a college dorm room. It has plenty of ports for you to plug in your devices and a couple of speakers, so you can plug your sound in there too.

Just remember that the best picture is always obtained from a quality screen. If you don’t have the money to buy a ready made screen, look for information on how to make one. With the right materials and a modest budget you can vastly improve on the substandard picture that you would get off of any white wall.
