TVs aren’t your only option for home entertainment. In some instances when you really want to go for that true cinema feel at home, the best thing for the job is going to be a projector. It’s a great way to achieve a large picture for a fraction of the price that a TV of a similar size would be. Take a look at this one from TV for example that happens to be on sale. The TCL C1 smart projector with Google TV compatibility normally sells for the already affordable price of $250. However, Amazon now has it discounted down by 20% which takes off $50, bringing the price to only $200 for a limited time.
The TCL C1 smart projector can be expanded to display up to 120 inches. Let’s compare that to TVs. Hisense is typically a pretty budget friendly brand, but even its 85-inch models go for at least $1,000. Here you get a significantly larger image and can do so for one fifth the cost.
The colors and details here are clear. Yes, this is going to be where a projector gets out classed by TVs, but if you’re watching at night or have some blackout curtains, you’re living room or finished basement will feel like your own personal AMC—just add Nicole Kidman. The TCL C1 smart projector supports 230 ISO lumens (2,000 ANSI lumens equivalent) and can display in true 1080p as well as decode 4K.
The sound allows for full immersion with Dolby Audio through its powerful 8W speaker.
You can angle the projector easily with its rotatable handle stand which can pivot between 40 degrees and 120 degrees—great for watching on either the wall or ceiling. It can also swivel side to size up to 285 degrees. That combines with autofocus, auto screen size adjustment, and auto keystone correction make set up easy as can be. Just point the projector at a flat surface and it will handle the rest on its own.

The TCL C1 smart projector comes integrated with Google TV. This gives you access to all the popular streaming services right on the projector itself. You can browse shows and movies across Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Hulu, HBO Max and more without having to mess around with a Fire TV Stick or Roku. There are literally more than 10,000 apps available to download at the official Google Play Store to dive into, and the whole unit has support for voice commands with Google Assistant.
