Buying a projector to show movies on the side of your house on warm summer evenings is akin to owning a boat. It’s an absolute blast the first few times, but it soon devolves into a chore: Drag out the projector. Drag out the speakers. Drag out the screen (or the white bedspread you’ll hang on the wall as a substitute). Drag out the table to put the gear on. And then you have to brave the dust bunnies to unplug the DVD player from your TV and drag that out, too.Pretty soon, you find yourself telling the kids, “Um, let’s just watch inside on the flat screen, OK?” Epson’s MovieMate series has long addressed those kids’ sad faces by making it easy and fun to watch movies outside. An all-in-one model, the MovieMate 85HD combines an HD projector with an integrated DVD player and stereo speakers. When you want to screen that hot new animated feature for the kids, all you need to do is plug in an extension cord, hang the bedspread, and set the projector on a chair. It’s an instant backyard drive-in—without the fumes!
