If you’re planning a watch party for England’s first World Cup match, a projector ensures everyone can see the screen – and Amazon just slashed £60 off one that’s ‘sharp and clear’
The World Cup may have kicked off on Thursday, but England fans will have to wait until Wednesday for our first match of the tournament – which means there’s still plenty of time to prepare a watch party. If you’re planning on gathering a few friends and family around to watch the game, it might be time to upgrade from your regular TV to a projector that’ll make sure everyone can get a good view.
The 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector from Amazon is ideal for using indoors or outdoors, with shoppers raving about how “sharp and clear” its picture is. And, just in time for an early Prime Day deal, it’s now been slashed from £239.99 to £179.99, saving you a huge £60.

The 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector is compatible with multiple devices thanks to its various connection ports, including HDMI, USB2.0, laptops, DVD players, TV boxes and more. It also runs a smart TV operating system, which is compatible with things like Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube, so you can stream everything from World Cup matches to the latest series you’re binge watching.
It can even be linked up to headphones for quiet viewing, paired with speakers and surround sound systems for an immersive experience, and it comes with built-in Dolby Audio speakers. You can also use the 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector by screen mirroring your phone or tablet, or to stream via wifi.
You can set it up using the built-in screw holes, which allow it to attach to everything from ceilings and wall mountings to tripods, or it can simply be placed on a table so you can move it around as you need. It gives you a 100 inch image from just 2.4 metres away, so it doesn’t matter how small your room or garden is; you’ll be able to create a large, sharp picture – all you need is a blank wall.
You can set up the 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector instantly, and it uses auto-focus technology to immediately adapt the picture to the space, using AI to monitor the environment and trigger auto keystone correction if moved. You can also manually adjust things like colour settings, brightness and audio to make sure it’s absolutely perfect for your set up.
Alternatively, you could pick up the Philips NeoPix 244 Home Projector on sale at Argos, where it’s down from £229.99 to £159.99. If you want a full set up, including a screen to stream your projector onto, this bundle includes the soundcore Nebula P1i 1080p Full HD Projector, 100-inch Screen and Stand for £329.
However Amazon shoppers have been delighted with the 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector, saying: “This is great choice for both outdoor and indoor use. Picture quality is sharp, the sound is clear and good. Good product for such a small amount.”
Another agreed: “This projector really exceeded my expectations. The 1200 ANSI brightness is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use — the image is sharp and clear, even in rooms with some light. The short throw feature is super convenient for small spaces, and setup was incredibly quick thanks to the auto focus and keystone correction.
“I also love that it has built-in apps and WiFi/Bluetooth support, so I can stream directly without needing extra devices. Dolby Audio sounds great, especially for movie nights. Compact, portable, and powerful — definitely worth the price!”
One did mention receiving a faulty model of the 4K Short Throw Kogata Projector, saying: “Seems like it could’ve been a decent projector, however, on this specific one I’ve received, auto focus doesn’t work, auto keystone doesn’t work, and when setting it up to be perfectly placed into the wall, one side of the picture is blurry whilst the other is in focus, even though all keystone offsets are set to 0.”
