Roku Enters Projector Market With Aurzen D1R Cube, Its First Roku TV OS Portable

Early U.S. availability pairs Roku’s full app ecosystem with a low‑cost, low‑brightness portable for night viewing.

Overview

  • The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector D1R Cube is on sale in the U.S. now, listed at $250 with a limited coupon dropping the price to about $180 through October 1.
  • This is the first portable projector with Roku TV OS built in, developed through a partnership between Roku and Aurzen.
  • Specs include 1080p resolution (accepts 4K inputs but displays at 1080p), roughly 330 ANSI lumens, a 40–150 inch image, dual 5W speakers, autofocus, and auto keystone.
  • Connectivity and ecosystem features span HDMI, USB, 3.5mm audio, dual‑band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay, Roku voice remote control, private listening via the mobile app, and compatibility with Roku wireless speakers and smart‑home alerts.
  • Coverage emphasizes dark‑room or nighttime outdoor use due to the modest brightness and notes broad app access, including Netflix, as a differentiator from many entry‑level Google TV projectors.
