Sometimes great things come in small packages. This Mini LED Projector might be cheap but boy is it fun!

You can pay a packet for a home cinema projector. Remember the Sony VPL-VZ1000ES? Admittedly that is one of the finest short throw projectors out there, but it costs circa £20k ($28k), not including the Sony 4K Advanced SXRD screen… Well, what about the other end of the spectrum — cheap and functional?

Affordable tech accessory manufacturer DBPower specialise in giving you the most bang for your buck! I loved their budget 4K Action Camera. Their products are generally good quality for minimum cost so we were very keen to look at their RD-810, a budget yet flexible mini LED home cinema projector that boasts connections for HDMI, USB, VGA, AV RCA and supports 1080p from your device, be it a PC, Laptop, DVR TV Box, Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick (both powered by the USB port), X-Box, Playstation or even a Smartphone. Now that is an impressive array of input options!

If you need an affordable home theatre setup for films, gaming, sport or multimedia of any kind the RD-810 might be the solution. Now, it is important to note, it supports HD 1080p…
