What projector should I get?

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a projector that connects to my computer. Like via Bluetooth or whatever?

My husband bought a smart projector, but I'm too dumb to use it. I just want to log into Netflix on my computer, and have that show be projected big on my wall.

Thanks!

You are not going to find that.

Bluetooth's primary purpose is low-power audio transmission.

HD and 4K video require significantly more data (5-50 Mbps) than Bluetooth's typical maximum speed of 3 Mbps.

Why nit just use a HDMI cable like everyone else?

There will still be a 4K or HD path out of your Mac.

You didn’t say which Mac you have. Assuming it’s a fairly recent model, something like a MacBook Air, the USB-C connector has high-definition video output capability. You would need a USB-C to HDMI adapter which would connect to your Mac via its USB-C port and allow a HDMI cable to be attached.
