A smart projector is a projector that has advanced connectivity such as WiFi and will usually have the ability to download and use apps (although some are limited to screen mirroring from your phone). It’s usually easy to set up and connects with other multimedia devices for a seamless streaming experience. 

The difference between a projector and a smart projector is the presence of features like app integration, streaming functions, and voice control. The integrated applications and voice control in most provides a better user experience.

While it can be compared to a smart TV, it has an upper hand as it provides a cinematic experience resulting from a larger screen. It’s also portable which makes it suitable for camping trips and outdoor movie nights. Not to forget, in terms of screen size, smart projectors cost less than their TV counterparts. It’s worth considering.
