Big screen TVs are nice and all, but nothing takes family movie night to the next level like a portable projector. Whether you want to stay cozy inside or you're going for a movie session under the stars, portable projectors give you the option to go where you want to go. And right now one of our favorites, the Anker Nebula Mars II Pro, is discounted by nearly $200.
It's on sale at Amazon for $272. Regularly priced at $470, the big $198 is applied automatically to your Amazon cart. But if you prefer to get your projector directly from Anker, they're matching Amazon's discount for a limited time. Anker's $272 price requires offer code WS7DV2GORLBH at checkout.
Although this projector is not the newest in Anker's Mars lineup, it's made our best of lists in the past and was the previous Editor's Choice, with an original price over $500. Since the release of the Anker's Nebula Mars 3 Air, which won Editor's Choice for 2024's best portable projectors, the Anker Mars Pro II has dropped to a current list price of $470. Now at a 42% discount, this $272 price can't be beat. In fact, it's the lowest price we've seen on this projector by nearly $100.

This projector can throw an image onto anything between 40 and 100 inches across and it's perfectly suited to showing movies, TV shows, games, or if you're so inclined, PowerPoint presentations. And if the office projector should wind up hooked up to a PS5, who are we to judge?
The built-in Android software means you will have instant access to content from the likes of YouTube and Netflix, while the HDMI and USB connectivity options mean that you can hook up all of your favorite tech for that big-screen experience. You won't even need a plug, either -- the projector has a built-in battery that's good for around 3 hours on a single charge.
As always with Amazon we don't know how long this discount will last. The current Editor's Choice, Anker's Nebula Mars 3 Air, is also on sale on Amazon for $450, a $150 price reduction. But don't wait too long to make your purchase because the price can change at any point. If you want one of the best projectors money can buy, it's a great time to add to cart.
