While most projectors are pretty big and require a whole setup with cables and power and whatnot, you can absolutely get a smaller one that's easier to set up and very portable. One great option for that is Samsung's Freestyle projector, which comes in two different generations with a couple of good upgrades if you want to pay the extra premium. That said, both generations are going for the same price right now, so you might as well get the better generation.
