3M streaming projector for home theaters

3M has launched a new miniature projector but this one is different. The 3M streaming projector for home theaters relies upon the new Roku streaming stick to beam content via Wi-Fi. As a result the new projector can provide access to hundreds of channels. (Image credits: 3M)

The partnership between 3M and Roku has resulted in a unique product for home theater viewing that they say is the first in the world. The 3M streaming projector for home theaters can be used to share favorite videos or stream movies online providing a big screen experience as long as there is a decent Wi-Fi connection available.

The device is small enough to fit in your hand but can project an image upto 120 inches across diagonally. The downside is that max battery life is only 2 hours and 45 mins. So without plugging into a power outlet long movies or movie marathons are not really an option.

The 3M streaming projector for home theaters is available for pre-order over at Amazon.com for $299. While home parties and sleep overs could greatly benefit from this affordably priced device. check out the promo video below for a better idea of the device.

While picture quality is better than other pico projectors in the market and is acceptable, brightness is improved with room lights turned off and for audiophiles sound quality may be an issue with the inbuilt speakers so you may need to consider hooking up to a home audio system. Despite this we feel the 3M streaming projector for home theaters is worth looking into.
