With warmer weather arriving and the biggest sporting weekends on the calendar fast approaching, homes everywhere are prepping to host friends and family for the upcoming finals.
If you are hosting a finals gathering this year, squeezing everyone onto a regular lounge to squint at a standard television screen is a thing of the past. The good news is that setting up a massive, festival-style viewing area does not require hiring professional audiovisual crews or spending thousands of dollars. Australian consumer electronics brand LASER, has rolled out major price cuts across its portable home entertainment and outdoor gear, starting from under $100.
Go Massive: The 144-Inch Outdoor Cinema Setup
For anyone who believes bigger is always better, LASER’s Full HD Outdoor Cinema Bundle (300 Series) is currently reduced to $295 at Harvey Norman.
The centrepiece of the package is an enormous 144-inch inflatable screen that inflates in minutes using a built-in air pump. Alongside the screen, the bundle includes a native 1080p Full HD projector, an adjustable portable stand, and a wireless Bluetooth soundbar that delivers rich audio without running a web of cables across the lawn.
Because it handles connections via HDMI, USB, and laptops, you can beam the live broadcast or switch straight to a movie when the match wraps up.
Budget Streaming and Retro Arcade Fun for $99
If you prefer something compact for a living room wall or patio setup, the LASER Smart Gaming Projector has dropped by 67%, down to $99 at retailers like Laser Co and Amazon.
Running Android 13, this portable unit connects to Wi-Fi and lets you download free streaming apps like 7plus and 9Now directly, eliminating the need to hook up a secondary set-top box or media stick.
When halftime arrives, the device doubles as an arcade station. It comes loaded with 80 built-in vintage games (including classics like Glover and Street Racer) and features emulators supporting classic titles from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy eras. It is an easy way to keep everyone entertained.
Keep Drinks Cold with a Beat-Syncing Ice Bucket
No warm-weather sports gathering is complete without cold refreshments, and LASER’s Ice Bucket Speaker has built a reputation for selling out every spring.
On sale for $28 at Harvey Norman, this dual-purpose gadget combines a 4-litre drink cooler with a wireless Bluetooth speaker. Built into the base are seven vibrant LED light modes that pulse in time with whatever music you stream from your phone. When the party finishes, the drink basin detaches from the speaker base for quick washing.
Hosting a memorable sports viewing party does not have to break the household budget. With simple plug-and-play connections, built-in streaming capability, and prices starting under $30, turning your backyard into a stadium-sized event space has never been easier.
