Roku has expanded its hardware lineup by collaborating with Aurzen to launch the Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector. This portable device blends ease of use with Roku’s familiar streaming platform, and it could be a great pick for those looking for an affordable projector.
For many people, projectors can be intimidating because of the tricky setup and screen alignment. Roku and Aurzen are tackling this with Auto Focus and Auto Keystone, which automatically adjust the image to fit your wall or screen, reducing distortion without endless manual tweaks.
Beyond setup, the 1080p projector also packs some compelling features. It supports Dolby Audio, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.2, so you can connect headphones or speakers wirelessly. Apple users can also take advantage of AirPlay to cast photos, videos, or music directly from their iPhones or iPads.
One of the highlights here is Roku OS, giving users the same experience found on a Roku Streaming Stick 4K. That means access to Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, and more, along with over 500 free live TV channels.
On the hardware front, Roku has sealed the optical engine to reduce dust and preserve image clarity over time. The projector delivers up to 330 ANSI lumens, which should work well in low-light indoor or outdoor settings. Ports include HDMI, USB-A, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Roku’s effort joins a growing market where ease of setup and integrated platforms are becoming key, as with the recent entries in our Best Portable Projector 2025 list. For buyers weighing whether to get a projector or a TV upgrade, it’s also worth considering options from the roundup of the best TVs if you often watch in bright conditions.
Priced to compete
Priced at $250 (although a nice $70 coupon will bring that down to $180), the Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector offers strong value, especially for those who want smart streaming features without investing in a full smart TV.
In many ways, this hits a sweet spot for casual streamers and families because its feature set, especially Roku OS, auto alignment, and Dolby Audio, adds up to a highly competitive package. You’ll just need to manage expectations in ambient lighting.
Opinion
For those who want the Roku experience without committing to another TV, this model looks promising. You’ve got all the essential apps built-in, removing the need for extra equipement, and there’s a bunch of handy features that should make it a simple product to use.
It won’t satisfy power users chasing ultra brightness or advanced optics, but it could very well be a strong value play.
