1. Auking Mini Projector: The Budget Hero

This one’s often under $60, but with coupons or lightning deals, it dips under $50—and it punches way above its weight. You get 1080p support, HDMI/USB compatibility, and a surprisingly clear picture in dim lighting. It’s compact enough to toss in a backpack and perfect for casual movie nights or gaming on a big wall.

2. Yaber V5: Great Picture, Built-In Wi-Fi

The Yaber V5 regularly goes on sale around $70, but during deals, it slides below $50. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can stream from your phone or connect wireless speakers for full surround sound vibes. It also supports 4K input, which is wild at this price point.
