'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Black Friday deal: Get a 40-inch portable screen and projector for $199
Screen projectors can be a great alternative to TV displays and laptops for watching movies or bringing games to a big screen. Thanks to technological improvements over the years, we can now have them in our homes for a relatively cheap price.
Ahead of the Black Friday sales event, ZDNET has found a great deal on a Wemax Go projector with a 40-inch portable screen. The Watch from Anywhere bundle, available on StackSocial, normally retails for approximately $680. However, for a limited time you can enjoy 70% off, bringing the price down to $199.
The Wemax Go projector is a compact, high-quality projector that utilizes ALPD laser technology, also known as fluorescent laser technology, for improved picture projection -- taking the place of legacy lamp and LED-based projection. Wemax's projector offers a light output of 300 ANSI lumens. Plus, it's compatible with WiFi, Android, and iOS devices, and can handle projection sizes between 15 and 100 inches.
The bundle also includes a 40-inch portable, retractable screen compatible with up to 4K projection. The 19.6 x 34.8-inch screen is black and supported by an aluminum frame.

While the screen size isn't the largest on the market, the product is focused on portability, which can be valuable while you're on the road or camping. The projector can also be handy when you're working on a mobile device and need to view presentations or documents on a larger screen.
