Is there any other tablet that includes a good enough projector? I don't need awesome TV screen quality, just good enough.

Thanks.

No, there are no other tablets with a built in projector.

I wouldn't bother.  The projector is rubbish, nowhere near good enough. (nevermind great)  Too dim, too low resolution and finicky about placement for proper focus.

You would be far better off getting a normal tablet and connecting it to an inexpensive projector or wirelessly casting (broadcasting) content from the tablet to a television screen.

Like this tablet:

Charger:

Which could be connected to a projector (or television if you don't want to do the wireless thing) via this cable:

Oh I wasn't trying to watch movies, just put images up to paint. Outlines. That's why I said quality isn't important in the OP.  I don't even own a tv to hook up to anything.

But I guess I could get a different tablet plus a projector. I just hate having to try to connect electronics. I'm not good at it.

Even for outlines for painting the result would be pretty poor.

Connecting it would be fairly straightforward.

For example using the tablet I linked to, you would just connect the hdmi cable to the tablet and the full size connector to the projector's hdmi port (should also support MHL)  Switch to the proper hdmi port with the projector remote and you are good to go.

Something like this would fir the bill:

Or if you wanted a projector with a very short throw capability:
