Want to set something up around the pool. I know nothing about these from a spec perspective. Best case i would set up to shoot a cross the pool so about 18 feet. I have Bluetooth pole styles I use for music from my phone would be great to have same option from projector.

Sound would come from the device playing the movie …not the projector, so you can still connect to the current speakers via Bluetooth.

As for projector, daytime projection is difficult. Night time is easier. You will need a projector with a focal point of about 20 feet and enough lumens to light up the screen under your lighting conditions.

I get my projection units from Penn State Salvage (University sells off unused stuff cheap). I have gotten projection units new in box for as little as $50. Paid $50 for an 18 foot electric up and down screen that was new in box also. Check your local universities to see if they seek salvage stuff.
