Aurzen Eazze D1R Projector Review — Zero Fuss, Big Value

Aurzen Eazze D1R Projector Review — Zero Fuss, Big Value
  • Indiana Lang, owner of Emptor Audio and A/V Integration in Orlando, FL, brings extensive AV industry experience from inside sales to custom installations. Starting in the field at 17 and writing about Hifi since 2016, he boasts over 25 certifications from top brands and is the current Editor-In-Chief of HomeTheaterReview.com.

The Aurzen Eazze D1R is exactly what I like to see in the budget projector space: something that doesn’t try to pretend it’s a $1,000 unit… but punches way harder than the price suggests. It’s simple, it works, and it delivers a legitimately enjoyable big-screen experience with almost no setup.

And yes — the built-in Roku is the reason this little guy stands out. It's not as fast or polished as a standalone Roku stick, but it’s still miles better than the generic “smart projector” interfaces most brands are shipping right now.

If you want an easy, all-in-one projector for casual viewing, movie nights, or a bedroom setup, the D1R is honestly kind of a killer value. Check it out on Aurzen.com!


Design & Setup

One of the main strengths here is the zero-stress setup. You drop it on a table, it auto-focuses, auto-keystones, signs into Roku, and you’re basically done.
This isn’t a “dial things in for twenty minutes” kind of projector. It’s a grab-and-go unit that works well whether you’re using it in the bedroom, kids’ room, or outside at night.

Build quality is totally fine for the price — nothing premium, nothing flimsy. It’s compact, easy to move around, and honestly looks better than most $200 projectors.

Image Quality

For what it is — a budget 1080p lamp-based projector — the image quality is genuinely solid. You’re getting a clean, sharp enough picture with good color balance that works really well for movies, TV shows, anime, YouTube, sports, and general streaming. There’s no weird smearing, no heavy pixelation, and motion stays surprisingly smooth for this price point.

As long as you’re keeping the screen in that 80–120" sweet spot, the D1R delivers a very watchable, enjoyable picture that feels like a big upgrade over the typical no-name budget projectors out there.

But let’s be clear:
This is not a laser projector, and it’s not trying to be.

You’re not getting ultra-high brightness, crazy contrast, or the razor-sharp punch you’d see from a laser UST or a midrange Epson. What you are getting is a fun, simple, “pop some popcorn and enjoy a movie” experience that nails the basics without trying to pretend it’s high-end.

This is absolutely a dark-room projector.
Lights on? Forget it.
Curtains open? Washed out immediately.

It really needs a darker space to shine — but once you give it the right environment, the D1R performs way better than you’d expect from a budget lamp unit. Colors look fuller, blacks deepen a bit, and it can actually produce a pretty cinematic image for casual movie nights.

Set your expectations correctly and this thing is a blast to use. Check it out on Aurzen.com!

Sound Quality

The built-in speakers get the job done for a bedroom or a small room. They’re not replacing a soundbar or external speakers, but they’re fine for casual use. It's meh at best.

If you want more impact or cleaner dialogue, pair it with a little Bluetooth speaker or a compact soundbar. Easy upgrade.


Roku Experience

This is one of the best things about the D1R.
You get the real Roku interface, real apps, and real updates — no sketchy Android launcher, no weird ad-filled UI.

Native 1080p resolution delivers brilliant, true-to-life detail

Is it as good as a standalone Roku Streaming Stick?
No. The standalone stick is faster and smoother. But this still blows away most built-in projector smart platforms in this price class. Because it's at least easy to use if you love Roku (I do!).

For plug-and-play convenience, it’s perfect. Check it out on Aurzen.com!


Who’s It For?

Perfect For:

  • Anyone who wants a cheap, simple, all-in-one projector with zero fuss
  • Bedrooms, kids’ rooms, college dorms
  • Occasional movie nights
  • Backyard projection after sunset
  • People who want “big screen for cheap” and don’t care about 4K/HDR
  • Families who want a safe, easy-to-use Roku interface

Not Ideal For:

  • Bright living rooms
  • Daytime viewing
  • Serious home theater builders
  • Anyone expecting high brightness, big contrast, or premium color

Everyday Use

This is the type of projector I’d throw in a backpack for a trip, set up outside for a backyard movie night, or use in a spare room without thinking twice. It’s flexible, easy, and delivers a legitimately fun big-screen setup with basically zero friction.

If you’re expecting a home-theater centerpiece… look elsewhere.
If you want a cheap, dependable projector that “just works,” this thing nails it.


What I Didn’t Love

  • Brightness is limited — you really need a dark room
  • Built-in speakers are okay but not impressive
  • No 4K or HDR benefits
  • Roku is good, but not as snappy as a dedicated stick

None of these are dealbreakers for the price, but they’re worth knowing.


Final Thoughts

The Aurzen Eazze D1R is one of the easiest projectors to recommend for casual use. It’s simple, it’s surprisingly capable, and the built-in Roku makes it feel more polished than anything else around $200.

If you want a fun, big-screen streaming experience with zero hassle, this is one of the best “insane value” projectors out there right now. Check it out on Aurzen.com!
