Roku TV makes its first appearance on a portable projector

New devices are piling into the portable projector space as brands continue to chase the casual streaming crowd. Today, Orzen enters the fray again, announcing the EAZZE D1R Air, a portable projector with a built-in Roku TV.

The D1R Air builds on Orzen’s earlier D1 Air, which already included officially licensed streaming apps including Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube. The new model runs Roku TV directly on the projector itself, giving users access to Roku’s familiar streaming platform, app library, interface, and remote experience out of the box. The move is noteworthy as many projector brands continue to push towards Google TV. Roku projectors, meanwhile, remain surprisingly uncommon.

The projector’s construction is also very similar to the earlier D1 Air, including its 180-degree gimbal design for projecting onto walls or ceilings, plus ToF (time of flight) autofocus and automatic keystone correction for quick setup. Like the older model, it supports 65W USB-C PD for even more flexible situations using the power bank. For your summer outdoor movie nights (or rooms without easy outlet access), the device can be paired with an optional stand with a built-in 25,000mAh battery pack.

As for image quality, the D1R Air offers native 1080p resolution and up to 300 ANSI lumens of SGS-verified brightness. Orzen is also highlighting the SGS certification, which helps give more credibility to the glow claims. Orzen also includes several preset picture modes for different scene scenarios. For sound, the device has dual 5W speakers with Dolby Audio support.

While 300 lumens is fairly entry-level by projector standards, it’s also not surprising, as the D1R Air lands at a much lower price than competitors. It’s available now from Orzen and Amazon for $239.99. An introductory discount drops the price to $149.99 for a limited time.
