Portable Projector Screens
Trending now
A portable projector screen lets you take your presentation with you. Portable projectors are great for displaying large images or videos as they can achieve image displays much larger than the average television without needing an involved setup.
What Are Portable Projector Screens?
As the name suggests, a projector projects a digital image onto a screen in front of it. The light that is projected reflects off the screen and creates an image that is comfortably viewable by a large audience. Paired with home theater speaker systems, projector screens create the perfect environment for visual and audio displays.
Why Choose Portable Projection Screens?
Portable or pico projectors are compact enough to fit in small spaces to view and stream your favorite content. Small yet powerful enough to pack a punch, these products feature a long lamp life and provide clear, crisp projections.
Deliver knockout presentations on the go with portable projection screens that are easy to transport. They also come in a multitude of sizes: tabletop screens are ideal for small spaces and one-on-one presentations. Portable projector screens are best used on the go and paired with handheld projectors to share media with your audience.
What Features Should You Look for in a Portable Projector Screen?
Besides their light and transportable nature, portable projector screens offer a variety of optional features that suit specific use cases. If you rely on presenting on the go, find out more below.
Screen Type
There are multiple types of portable projector screens to choose from, depending on the viewing surface you have to work with. The four types available at Staples are:
- Floor: Like their name implies, a floor portable screen for projectors is meant to be placed on the floor. Its screen pulls up, allowing you to set up anywhere there is adequate floor space.
- Tabletop: A tabletop portable projection screen is meant to be placed atop a flat surface like a table or computer office desk. Small and meant for one-on-one presentations, these are perfect for traveling entrepreneurs.
- Tripod: Tripod portable projection screens are similar to floor projector screens, since they’re typically placed on the floor. However, their screens are raised high off the ground using three stabilized legs. These are a great choice for smaller conference rooms or events.
- Wall or Ceiling: A wall or ceiling portable projector screen is meant to be mounted on a ceiling or wall. Favored in classrooms, they’re great for larger presentations on the go.
Indoor or Outdoor
Depending on whether you want to use your portable projector for indoor or outdoor activities, you can choose between two screen options:
- Indoor projector screens are strictly for indoor use, and not protected against potential weathering.
- Indoor/outdoor projector screens can be used inside or outside with minimal issues, and may offer weatherproofing.
Which Input Sources Work With Portable Screens for Projectors?
Check your portable projector’s product specifications to know what you need to connect. Many portable projectors boast mobile connectivity or Bluetooth, but some models may require USB cables or other hardware.
