Everything from first screen to full outdoor cinema
Whether you're spending $200 or $2,000, our guides walk you through every decision — projector, screen, sound, and all the gear in between.
Projectors & Screens
From $150 portables that slip into a backpack to 4K laser projectors reviewers consistently rank as the best picture you can put on a backyard wall, we break down what actually matters at each price. We explain the tradeoffs — like why brightness (lumens) matters more at twilight than full dark, and how a short-throw projector can be a game-changer when your patio only gives you 8 feet of distance — before we ever drop a model number.

Outdoor Audio & Power
Great picture deserves great sound, and running power safely across a long backyard is its own puzzle. We cover outdoor Bluetooth speakers and multi-zone setups that owners rave about, plus the extension cord and power strip choices that keep everything running without tripping a breaker — including why a 75-foot run to a 350W projector means you really do need a 12-gauge cord.

Setup Gear & Accessories
The projector is only half the story — the mount, the carrying case, and the streaming stick you plug into the back can make or break the experience. Our picks here are the stuff owners consistently call 'should have bought this first,' curated from real feedback so you don't waste money on gear you'll swap out in a season.
