Viewsonic M1 Pro | Portable Projector | ₹ 99,000
Every room with a view

Sure, portable projectors aren’t new but then, the M1 Pro tackles the troubles of carrying your big picture with you differently. The ultra-compact form factor is led by a unique 3-in-1 stand. It protects the lens as a cover when stowed away, but then it also acts like a kickstand when you swing it out and into action. It allows the projector to move around a 300-degree angle and also serves as an auto on/off actuator since there is no power button on the unit itself. Talk about an overachieving piece of metal! Dressed up in a light grey fabric that also conceals the Harman Kardon speaker, the M1 Pro is well-built with ventilation slats on either side and a focusing dial.

Keystone is automatic and you do get four-corner adjustment for finetuning the 100 inches of picture you can project. Under a flap are all the I/O ports, including HDMI, USB-A, two USB-C, 3.5mm and the power adapter plug. A sizeable charging brick is included in the box, along with a carry case and the cables needed. Battery life is claimed to be 2 hours in Eco mode and in our tests, it actually managed a bit less, but you can keep it plugged in if you’re using it indoors. As a backup plan, it’s nice to know that you can even power it up via a power bank. vCastSender, the official Viewsonic app also allows you to use your smartphone’s display as a touchpad to navigate through the OS. It can come in handy if you happen to misplace the remote controller in the dark crevices of your backpack or couch, but otherwise, the standard issue remote control works a lot better.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3

On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
