The Splay was crowdfunded in 2021, and its maker, Arovia, describes it as the “first fully collapsible monitor and projector.” In short, it’s a portable projector with an integrated fabric shroud that can serve as a big-screen (24.5 or 34.5 inches diagonally, depending on the model) portable monitor. Or, you can take off the fabric shroud and use the Splay as an ultra-short-throw projector and cast a display that measures up to 80 inches diagonally onto a wall.
When using our camper van, I've sometimes wished for a good way to watch video in the evening. There are portable TV solutions, but they take up too much space for my liking, and are too fragile for the environment they have to survive in, especially for the relatively small amount of time I'd use one. The Splay seems interesting in that it packs up small, so that it would be easy to pack and transport safely, but big enough to be a useful display in the van, and perhaps even a projector capable of other uses, like on a sheet outside the van at night. It's pricey, and its bulk when set up means I'd really like to try one before thinking about purchasing one.
The Splay is a subpar monitor but an exciting portable projector
Splay can be a monitor and takes a lot of the stress out of projectors, too.
