TCL Roku TV Full HD projector debuts with Dolby Audio speaker and upgraded feature

The TCL C2R Full HD LCD projector has debuted with an upgraded 350 ISO lumens of brightness and a 10-watt Dolby Atmos speaker. The projector runs Roku TV OS, with access to a wide range of streaming services including Netflix. The built-in 285-degree gimbal allows the C2R to project onto walls and ceilings.

The C2R projector arrives as a follow-up to the well-received 2025 TCL C1 projector reviewed by Notebookcheck (sold here on Amazon). Last year's model output only 230 lumens, while this year's model arrives with increased output thanks to its use of TCL CSOT (China Star Optoelectronics Technology) LTPS LED display technology with higher light transmittance, a dual-thermal isolation design for longer optical component lifespan, and an optimized light engine that uses a fully-coated, triple-glass lens design.

The IPX5-rated, dust-sealed light engine projects images from 40 inches to 150 inches, with a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, onto walls and ceilings thanks to a gimbal stand that allows the C2R to swivel 285 degrees. Auto keystone correction, auto object avoidance, and auto focus help the projector create a square projection automatically.

Sound is output through a 10-watt Dolby Audio speaker, with an 85 dB maximum sound level rating and bass output as low as 80 Hz, according to TCL. The cooling fan is rated at under 30 dB of noise. External headphones and speakers can also be connected using the 3.5 mm audio output jack as well as over Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connections.

Users can watch movies and free TV shows from a variety of online streaming services including Netflix, mirror smartphone screens using Apple AirPlay or Android Screen Mirroring, and play media off a USB-A flash drive. An HDMI jack allows owners to use the C2R as an external monitor for their laptops or smart home video servers.

Readers can buy the TCL C2R Full HD projector with Roku TV OS for $239.99 from Amazon.
