Projectors could be the budget-friendly answer to the age-old question, “What TV should I get?” And if you’ve been looking for an outdoor TV, a projector with a speaker could be precisely what you need instead -- especially if you like to relax when the sun has set.

Projectors are much easier to move inside and outside. You can’t simply move your indoor TV outside, and outdoor TVs can be seriously expensive. That said, a good projector isn’t cheap either. But you can get an excellent deal if you’re lucky -- and that’s exactly what you are if you take advantage of the current Black Friday sales.

Yaber is offering its award-winning K3 projector for $408, down from its usual $600 retail price, saving you a whopping 32%. To claim the full deal, you must be an Amazon Prime member, use the on-page coupon, and add our special coupon: YABERK318.

Yaber/CNET

With an Amazon Prime membership, an on-page coupon, and this YABERK318 additional promo code, you can get this JBL-powered projector for $408.

While the K3 isn’t a 4K projector, it makes up for it in other ways, like its heat-efficient build and 1600 ANSI brightness (making it decent in dimly-lit rooms and scenarios). It really steps up in its audio. Inside, you’ll find dual 15W JBL speakers with Dolby Audio support, making it the sort of projector that will save you money on external home theater speakers if you don’t already have some. Side note: whenever I use this projector while hosting guests, I’ve noticed them looking around for where my external speakers are.

Another major plus for the projector is its OS and connectivity. It has its own proprietary OS that handles autofocus, auto keystone correction and lets you access other core projector settings and still allows you to launch Google TV. So, of course, you get voice control, Alexa support, Chromecast, and all the app support that comes with Google’s operating system. You can also connect your device via Bluetooth and use the projector simply as a JBL speaker (there's an option to switch off only the display).

Why this deal matters

The Yaber K3 may not exactly be the best projector out there right now (with 4K laser projectors and cheaper ones offering competing value at MSRP), but for just a little over $400, a display and sound system like this is definitely a bang for the buck.
