Looking for a next-gen outdoor projector that packs smart features, killer visuals, and built-in Netflix—all in a portable design?

We recently tested the ONOAYO ONO3 Outdoor Projector, and it might just be one of the most feature-rich portable projectors we’ve come across.

This thing runs on ONOAYO’s newly designed Smart TV Pro OS—built in-house—and it shows. It’s snappy, smooth, and miles ahead of the laggy interfaces you get with typical projectors. You get a customizable homepage, a built-in e-manual, and even one-click screen projection, all handled with millisecond-level response time thanks to advanced AI support.

What really sets it apart? The ONO3 is officially Netflix-licensed. That means you can stream Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and Apple TV directly—no Fire Stick, no workaround, and no random black screens from HDCP issues. Over 1.2 million videos are just a click away, and regular software updates keep the system secure and stable.

We also loved how effortless setup was. The projector comes with full auto-focus, auto keystone, obstacle avoidance, and screen-fit tech. Whether you’re projecting on a ceiling, wall, or some weird angled surface, the image self-corrects in seconds. The zoom function (50%-100%) is a huge plus too—you don’t even have to move it to adjust screen size.

The visuals are genuinely stunning. It pumps out 1200 ANSI lumens of brightness and supports 4K decoding, paired with ONOAYO’s AI image optimization. You get near-NTSC color gamut coverage and super fine detail—even subtle movements like dust or fire flickers come through crisp and clean.

Sound-wise, the Dolby-certified dual speakers surprised us. You get true stereo sound with solid bass and clean highs, and if you want more, it can connect to external speakers or work as a standalone Bluetooth speaker.

Weighing in at just 2.4 lbs, it’s ultra portable—80% smaller than similar projectors—and can easily slip into a backpack. Built-in Chromecast and WiFi 6 support make streaming smooth, even outdoors. It also supports multiple mounting options, including tripod, ceiling, and wall.

One last thing—the build quality and support are solid. The sealed optical engine and dual-fan cooling keep dust and overheating at bay, and ONOAYO backs the projector with ongoing support regardless of when you bought it.

If you’re after a portable projector that doesn’t compromise on quality, smart features, or streaming convenience, the ONO3 is more than worth considering. It’s basically a smart TV in your backpack.
