The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is here. And cricket is usually better when watched together. But in many homes, the living room TV is often occupied, or not everyone wants to watch the match. A projector solves that problem. You can set it up in a bedroom or on a blank wall and still get a large-screen experience. Besides the bigger real estate, these are compact and easy to move. Since projection uses reflected light instead of direct light, it is generally easier on the eyes during long viewing sessions. And now, with quick commerce platforms expanding into electronics, some of these projectors can reach you in minutes instead of days.
