Giant-screen Roku projector debuts at an affordable cost of $249
Roku Ventures into the Projector Market with the Launch of the D1R Cube
Roku, the popular streaming device company, has expanded its product lineups to include projectors. The Roku D1R Cube, its first foray into the projector market, is now available starting today at select retailers.
The Roku D1R Cube offers 1080p visuals on screen sizes ranging from 40 inches to 150 inches, making it a versatile option for various settings. Developed in partnership with Aurzen, the D1R Cube is a budget portable projector, suitable for casual barbeques or camping trips.
Roku is seeking partnerships with projector manufacturers to bolster its ecosystem. One such collaboration is with Anker, which presented the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro projector at IFA 2025. This partnership aims to offer innovative and potentially more affordable projectors in the future. No other specific companies for future Roku projector collaborations were explicitly mentioned.
The Roku D1R Cube has two 5W speakers equipped with Dolby Audio, providing an immersive audio experience. It also has Bluetooth 5.2 support for connecting headphones. The projector can seamlessly pair with Roku wireless speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers, allowing for a customisable audio setup.
Roku's projectors will allow for collaboration with the Roku OS, ensuring a seamless streaming experience. This is a significant advantage as some streaming services, such as Netflix, did not work on the Android platform but may work on Roku projectors.
The projector space is currently dominated by Google TV and Android, but Roku is entering a still-budding arena in the projector market that is open to competition. Epson's new portable projector starts at $999, indicating that Roku's projectors could potentially be more cost-effective.
For updates on this and other tech news, readers can follow Tom's Guide on Google News. The Aurzen ZIP Tri-Fold triple-laser projector made headlines earlier this year, and the Roku D1R Cube, with its white version available on Amazon for $249 with a $70 coupon, is set to make waves in the projector market.
In conclusion, the launch of the Roku D1R Cube marks a significant step for Roku as it enters the projector market. With its budget-friendly price, immersive audio, and seamless streaming capabilities, the D1R Cube is poised to offer a unique and attractive option for consumers in the projector space.
