Roku TV OS Lands in First Portable Projector With Aurzen’s D1R Cube

The move extends Roku’s platform beyond televisions into a low-cost portable device.

Overview

  • The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector D1R Cube is the first projector to ship with Roku TV OS built in and is on sale now in the U.S.
  • Launch pricing varies across retailers, with a typical $249–$250 list and a limited-time Amazon coupon dropping the price to about $180 through October 1, while some listings highlighted lower introductory prices.
  • The projector outputs 1080p and supports 40–150 inch images with roughly 330 ANSI lumens, with autofocus and auto‑keystone to streamline setup.
  • Roku integration brings popular streaming apps, Roku Originals, hundreds of free live channels, Apple AirPlay support, Bluetooth private listening, and compatibility with Roku wireless speakers and soundbars.
  • Reviewers note the 330‑lumen brightness makes it best for dark rooms or nighttime outdoor viewing, and business coverage reports a modest uptick in Roku shares following the launch.
