You should buy this portable HD projector while it’s more than half off

On Sale The Dr. J Professional 5G Wi-Fi HD Mini Projector.
Walmart

Now that summertime is just around the corner, we’re all going to be hanging out on porches and in the backyard a bit more. And what better way to enjoy the great outdoors than with an HD mini projector for screening horror movies in the dead of night! While vetting through Walmart promos, we came across this fantastic deal on a travel-friendly projector: 

For a limited time, the Dr. J Professional 5G Wi-Fi Projector is on sale for $80 at Walmart. This product is usually $180, which means you’ll be saving yourself $100. 

Why you should buy the Dr. J Professional 5G Wi-Fi Projector

This Dr. P projector is a great way to enjoy movies and TV shows with minimal setup and wiring to worry about. Weighing less than two pounds, the Dr. J Professional can throw an image as large as 250 inches and as small as 32 inches. With its 9,000:1 native contrast ratio and powerful brightness, the Dr. J Pro boasts a 60,000-hour lamp life, so you won’t have to worry about replacing it for years!

The Dr. J Pro also supports Wi-Fi connectivity, but unlike other mini projectors, you won’t be able to access any built-in streaming apps like Netflix or Hulu. Instead, you’ll need to mirror your phone screen to the projector or use an HDMI adapter to hook your phone up directly to the Dr. J Pro. Additional inputs include USB, 3.5mm auxiliary, and microSD.

You’ll also be able to use the projector as a Bluetooth speaker or use the Bluetooth input to wirelessly pair a soundbar or external speaker to the Dr. J Pro. 

One thing to keep in mind: Even though the Dr. J Pro is advertised as supporting up to 4K resolution, the projector’s true resolution cap is 720p HD. This means 1080p and 4K sources will be downscaled to 720p.

AI-generated image of a person on a subway doing a video call on a phone.

The first time I encountered someone listening to their phone out loud in public, it was on a city bus and I was taken aback for two reasons. First, the volume level on the phone wasn't just audible to the person sitting next to them; our entire section of the bus could hear it. Second, it was a FaceTime call, and neither the person on the bus, nor their caller seemed to be the slightest bit hesitant to carry on their conversation in public. In fact, they appeared completely oblivious.

That was a few years ago. Since then, the problem of listening out loud has gotten much worse. I've encountered it in grocery stores, airport lounges, coffee shops, and even when just walking on the sidewalk. And it's not just phone calls/FaceTime. Music, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram -- you name it. If it's got an audio track, I've heard it blaring from the speaker of someone's phone. During a recent episode of the New York Times' excellent tech podcast, Hard Fork, a listener referred to the problem as an epidemic, and I don't think that's hyperbole.
