A budget projector from Kmart is blowing up across TikTok and Instagram, and Aussie shoppers are racing to grab one before it sells out.
The star of the trend is the Anko 1080P Smart Projector, a compact home projector that promises a big-screen movie experience without the massive price tag. At around $150, it’s become the go-to gadget for cosy bedroom setups, movie nights and late-night Netflix binges.
Why Everyone Wants One
The projector has built-in smart streaming apps, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, plus auto keystone correction to help straighten the picture automatically. One of the biggest selling points? The rotating stand lets users project movies straight onto the ceiling.

Social media users are pairing it with LED lights, fluffy bedding and snack stations to create the ultimate “home cinema” vibe.
Is It Actually Good?
For the price, many shoppers say the picture quality is surprisingly decent, especially in a dark room. The biggest downside is daytime brightness, and most users recommend connecting a Bluetooth speaker for better sound. It’s not designed to compete with premium projectors costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but for casual viewing, it’s become a viral hit.
