Best Projector for Firestick

We all know that amazon firestick is used to make your standard TV into a smart television by plugging it inside the HDMI port.

From the firetv stick, you can watch hundreds of episodes, watch movies, and even play games with the help of its universal remote system.

But due to the current situation, viewers have started looking for alternate ways to get that experience in their homes.

So, to get that experience, you will need the best projector for firestick to get a theater-like experience in your living room.

Buying Guide

Connection

Make sure the device you select has multiple connectivity options before you finalize your decision about the projector that will work with your amazon firestick,

Also, it should have inbuilt wifi and Bluetooth feature to connect your mobile or tablet device to stream your favorite content right on the projection screen.

Resolution

What’s the point if you watch all the latest episodes or movies in lower resolution when you have lighting fast internet connectivity in your house?

To get the cinematic experience and realistic image quality, always use a 4k or at least a full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution projector to enjoy movies in your living room.

Portability

If you are a person who likes to take their entertainment system at friends’ place or camping with your kids, then go with Pico projectors.

So, it’s highly recommended that your portable projector have an in-built battery system, and that battery should last for a minimum of 3-4 hours.

Screen Size

Try to go with that model, which can project at least 100-150″ inches screen size on the wall or a specialized screen.

Throw Distance

The throw distance is measured by how much distance you will place the projector from the screen and lamp to get the screen’s actual size.

If you want to project the picture from a shorter distance, go with that projector that can project 120″ inches from just 3 feet away.

But if you have a bigger room space, you can also opt for a standard throw ratio which can project at a distance of 10 feet to give a screen size of 180″ inches.

Best Projectors For Firestick (2022)

So below, we have written a detailed guide on 4k projectors, ultra-short throw, standard throw, long throw, and budget-friendly models.

1). Optoma HD39HDR

The Optoma projector is perfect for viewers who want to see amazon movies in brighter conditions and low-light rooms.

This unit has HDR10 technology, from which you can also play 4k content on the screen to get more explicit images from the HD39 device.

Due to its multiple connection systems, you can connect to other streaming devices like Google Chromecast, Roku, Apple Tv, etc.

Regarding image quality, the manufacturer has used a six-segment color wheel with REC.709 color profile that produces more accurate RGB colors.

There are times when projectors were made to view only movies or documentaries. But not with Optoma HD39HDR.

You can even play games with a lag time of 8.5ms by connecting your console with the help of an HDMI port.

The lamp has a power of 4000 lumens which will run at the power of 125 watts, which has a life of 50,000 hours when running in lower brightness mode.

While testing the projector, the setup process was much easier as we placed this model on a flat surface and powered up the projector.

Firstly we had to manually adjust the images with the help of keystone correction, as the task was a little bit hard to do.

After setting the image correctly on the screen, we played a movie at full 1080p resolution, and the Optoma did the justice in a bright room.

Also, when running at full power, we noticed that the fan started to make noise after a few hours due to the Optoma model producing lots of heat.

Benefits

• Support full 3d content.
• This model is also perfect for casual gaming due to its lower lag time of 8.5 ms.
• It also has a refresh rate of 120hz.
• It can play 4k content due to the  HDR feature.

Drawback

• Average sound quality.
• The fan makes lots of noise when the projector runs for a few hours.

2). XGIMI Horizon Pro (4k)

Next, we have a 4k projector from Xgimi, which provides firestick videos in 4k and is also ideal for those who want to carry their projector wherever they go.

It has a standard resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4k) and a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 with a pixel resolution of 8.29 million.

The Xgimi horizon pro comes in a compact size that weighs around 6 pounds (5kg) and can be easily carried in your backpack while going anywhere.

This projector works perfectly in lower light conditions due to its powerful lamp power of 2200 ANSI.

But if you used the Horizon pro in brighter conditions, the picture will be washed out even if you use it on a specialized screen.

Regarding the setup process, I take the XGIMI pro out of the box, mount it on my tripod, plug it in, and connect the projector with my AT&T wifi connection.

This device automatically adjusts the image with the help of autofocus and keystone correction, both horizontal & vertical(±40 Degrees).

The whole process of connecting and setting up a hassle-free process took hardly 8 minutes to do everything.

Then the bonus feature we got was inbuilt android o/s that comes loaded with thousands of apps and games, which helped us do more with this device.

Did we mention the internal (Harman Kardon) stereo speakers that will give you enough sound if you use this projector with 3-4 viewers?

Also, the manufacturer has provided multiple connection systems, which are 2HDMI(ARC support), two USB, LAN, and audio ports, etc.

Benefits

• There are multiple ports to connect different devices.
• Stereo speakers provide excellent sound quality.
• It also comes with an Android ten operating system.
• Auto keystone and Autofocus feature.

Drawbacks

• You cannot use it in brighter conditions.
• Higher in price.

3). ViewSonic PX701:

Next, we have a 4k projector from Viewsonic that can provide amazon prime videos in UHD with a screen size of 30″ to 300″ inches.

This projector is used in your living room in brighter conditions and even in a darker environment.

In the setup process, this projector can be placed anywhere, on ceilings, flat surfaces, on the table, etc.

Setting the model on the ceiling can be a complex task for first-time users.

Next, for a 120″ inches screen size, you need to place the device approximately 13.2ft away from the screen to get a true 4k experience.

If you want to do more with Viewsonic PX701, like playing games with the help of your latest consoles like PS5, Switch, and XBOX, you will have a pro-level gaming experience.

With a lag time of just 4.3ms and a refresh rate of 240hz, you will have professional gameplay with your friends or family members.

We also tested this product in ambient light conditions, and when we plugged in the Amazon firestick inside the HDMI port, the quality we got was brighter on the screen.

Also, the Viewsonic was not struggling even though decent lighting was present in our living room.

I also took this projector to my uncle’s place and play different movie titles on the screen with the help of Firestick.

The company claims there is no “rainbow effects,” but we did notice a minimum effect on the screen due to its DLP chip being used inside the projector.

However, this model comes with a lamp life of 20,000 hours when running in eco mode and will provide 7000 hours when running in normal mode.

Benefits

• Lamp life of 20,000 hours (eco-mode).
• It has the lowest lag time of 4.3ms.
• Screen size of 30″ – 300″ inches.
• Adjust the image in 4 corners with auto keystone adjustment.
• Multiple ports at the back of the unit.

Drawback

• No wireless and Bluetooth function.
• You cannot play the Netflix app from this projector.

4). BenQ HT2150ST

If you are looking for a compact projector that can project bigger pictures from a shorter distance, check out the BenQ HT2150ST model.

So if you place the projector from a distance of 5.5 ft, you will get a picture size of 101″ inches big with a resolution of 1080p.

This model supports the largest picture size of 300″ inches. So the projected image at the highest level will not be as brighter as in a screen size of 150″ inches.

On the top of the unit is a focus ring with a little knob from which you can adjust the zoom-in and out function.

Also, you can control the menu manually, which is located on top of the unit. But this menu option is useless if you have decided to mount the BenQ projector on the ceiling.

Also, you can control the device with the help of remote control, which illuminates when it’s dark in the room.

You will also get a handy carry bag that helps you take the Benq when you go to your friend’s place to play games.

Yes, you heard it right, this model is ideal for firestick and short-throw ratio, but you can also play games as it has a lag time of less than 5ms.

With a contrast ratio of 15,000:1, the darker scenes are clear on the screen. But you cannot use it in dim conditions due to its low lumens power.

Remember there are no WIFI & Bluetooth connections, and this model cannot play 3d content on the screen.

Benefits

• It made for a short throw distance.
• It can also be used for playing video games.
• 15,000:1 contrast level gives a more detailed and clear black level.
• This unit comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
• You can place the Benq projector in multiple places.

Drawback

• The images will be washed out in ambient light conditions.
• No 3d support.

5). KODAK Luma 150

Next, we have the projector from Kodak, which is so small and powerful that it can fit easily in your pocket.

This full HD 1080p device runs with the help of a battery that easily lasts for around 2 hours on a single full charge.

It comes with a tripod connector at the bottom of the kodak luma, which is very useful in connecting the tripod and placing it on a flat surface.

This model has a native resolution of 720p but can also play 1080p content by upscaling the feature. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a contrast ratio of 1000:1.

You can use this unit only in low light conditions, and also it comes with a screen mirroring option where you can view your mobile content on a larger screen.

But you cannot mirror copyright content from the apps such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO max on a bigger screen with the help of a Kodak luma projector.

In terms of connection systems, the kodak does not have so much to offer due to its ultra-portable design.

The sound system comes with a mono speaker, which will do them justice if you don’t want a louder sound in your room.

While setting up this model, I have to do everything to make the projector ready for the projection on the wall.

This can project the image size of 20″- 150″ for 100″ you have to place it at a distance of 8 feet away from the wall.

Benefits

•  The internal battery runs for 2.5 hours when charged fully.
• Image size of 20″ – 150″.
• Support resolution of 1080p.
• Compact and lighter in weight by less than 1 pound.

Drawbacks

• Low brightness level due to weak lamp.
• Sometimes the projector battery lasts only for 2 hours.

6). Dxyiitoo (Budget Friendly)

If you are looking for a budget-friendly firestick projector with many features that a premium projector has, then it’s time to check out the Dxyitoo projector.

The dxyitoo lamp has a power of 9800 lumens with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and projects a maximum screen size of 450 inches.

The lamp gives an ultra-high gamut color performance of “2o million” saturated color quality. It also provides a 95% NTSC picture quality with more realistic viewing.

Now in terms of the connection system, there are many ways to connect or view your favorite content of amazon firestick on the bigger screen.

With WIFI & Bluetooth connectivity, you can stream games, pictures, movies, and applications from your mobile device with the help of mirroring.

In the setup process, you can place the device wherever you want, like on the ceiling, flat surface, table, or even on a tripod.

The Dxyitoo provides the keystone correction and zoom focus feature, which perfectly adjusts the pictures on the screen manually.

Placing this device at a distance of 9-10ft is an ideal distance to get an excellent viewing experience on the wall or screen.

If I talk about the life of a lamp, it has 100,000 hours when running the projector in Eco mode. Also, it comes with a 3-year warranty with lifetime technical support.

Benefits

• Multiple ports to connect different devices.
• Inbuilt Bluetooth & Wifi function.
• Longer lamp life.
• It works perfectly in lighter conditions.

Drawback

• All the image calibration is done manually.
• Connecting to the Apple device was a bit struggling.

7). NEBULA Anker Capsule

Are you looking for a device that doesn’t require electricity to operate also, you can watch your movies anywhere you want, then check out the Anker nebula mini projector.

This unit comes with a 5200mAh battery that runs for at least 3.5-4 hours on a single charge while watching videos on-screen or on the wall.

Its build quality and less weight make it one of the top models available for firestick devices.

For a wire-free experience, the Anker nebula is equipped with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity, letting you stream any content from your mobile device (except Netflix, Disney, and Amazon content due to copyright issues).

This device cannot expect crystal clear videos in terms of picture quality, but it can still project full 1920 x 1080 resolution on a screen.

With the lumens power of less than 500 ANSI, viewing anything in a darker environment rather than in brighter conditions is recommended.

In terms of throw ratio, it can produce the video from a screen resolution of 100″ inches from 3.08 m away with auto vertical keystone correction of (±40°).

You can also adjust the horizontal correction with the manual method.

This unit also has inbuilt Android 8.1 os, which is loaded with thousands of apps to play music, youtube videos, or even you can play games with your friends at a remote location.

I tested the Anker nebula while camping in the jungle with my wife, and we always took this model.

Also, we charge the nebula battery with a 20,000mah power bank which takes around 5 hours to charge the device completely.

Benefits

• Ultra-portable device.
• The battery lasts 3.5 hours for watching movies and 28 hours if you use it in speaker mode.
• Android App is very useful for listening to songs.
• You can even control this unit right from your mobile device.

• The native resolution of only 480p.

Conclusion

I hope the above information helps you decide which projector is perfect for viewing the episodes or movies on a larger screen.

If you are going with a pico projector, I suggest you go with the Nebula device as it has more battery life and easily fits in your backpack.

But if you are looking for your living room, then Benq short throw is a perfect choice.

This device lets you play games and watch movies from a shorter distance from your room.

Owner at Projectors Place

Carry here, the owner and current Author of projectors place. I used to watch all the new series, play games, and watch movies on my television for so many years. But one day, my friends told me about replacing tv with projectors.

At that moment, I thought, why should I restrict myself to a smaller screen when an alternate option like a projector is available on the market.

So, I began searching the internet for the best projectors in 2014. And to be honest, I didn't find the information I was looking for.

But then, on my friend's suggestion, I purchased a BenQ 1080p projector in 2015. After that, my love and interest in Projector started, and I kept reviewing the latest available projectors available in the market.

I wrote down each advantage and disadvantage of the current Projector model. I gave only an honest reviews to my readers on projectorsplace.com and my social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.

If you feel I have left any projector model uncovered, let me know on my official email id: carry@projectorsplace.com.
