With the imminent arrival of Black Friday and all the glorious bargains, it's not always easy to tell what's worth snapping up. Finding the right gift at the right price can become a bit of an obsession. The good news is, we here at CNET are all obsessed with finding the best deals for Black Friday. Like this $300 discount on the Asus ZenBeam L2, which brings it down to $399 at Amazon right now. I've been in the market for one of these myself for some time, and the record low price has me adding it to my cart.
Between outdoor movie nights and nerdy presentations I give, I'm looking for a portable projector thats not too bulky with top picture quality. The Asus ZenBeam L2 fits the bill but the price tag of $699 is too steep for me. But now, at just $399, you'll get a lot for your money.
The Asus ZenBeam L2 is an HD smart projector, offering 1080 pixels and 960 LED lumens. This gives you a clear picture quality with excellent color and contrast. You can project between 40 inches and 120 inches wide, simply by adjusting the distance from the wall. There are 26 different cinema graphs to create variable ambiances depending on your needs.
It has a battery that lasts 3.5 hours, and includes two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, an HDMI port and an earphone jack. It works via WiFi and Chromecast, and has a built-in Bluetooth speaker. Plus, it's fairly lightweight and comes with a stylish carrying case.
