My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Yaber K2S Projector
When it comes to projectors, you can spend anywhere from a few hundred to well into the thousands, depending on portability, battery life, resolution, brightness, and overall user experience. A “budget” projector will usually set you back around $600, and right now one such projector, the Yaber K2S , is $369.95 (originally $599.95) with a $230 coupon. However, it has some higher-end features and is well below its listing price, making it my favorite Amazon offering to date.
I’ve had the Yaber K2S projector for a few months now and I’ve been surprised at how easy it is to set up and use. It has an autofocus feature that finds the best focus depending on the distance from the screen. The operating system is Android TV, which feels similar to a Roku TV. You have access to the Android app store with over 9,000 apps including Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max and more. You can also easily connect any NFC device, such as a phone, to stream media to the projector.
The K2S has a 1920 by 1080 resolution with support for 4K output for eligible media. The brightness is not the best, 800 ANSI, so it is better suited for night time or low light environments. Unless you plan to use it for large outdoor crowds, the two 10W JBL speakers are sufficient for most activities. The 2000:1 image contrast is impressive—I had no trouble seeing shadows and dark images in scenes—but the image is a little bluer than usual, so if you’re a stickler for accurate colors, be careful.
It’s a powerful projector with great features for $369.95. You won’t find other projectors at this price with this resolution and additional features.
