Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K Projector

For around $2,000 you can get yourself a 65-inch OLED 4K TV that will look absolutely beautiful mounted to a wall. But, if after two years of avoiding crowded spaces like movie theaters you’re finally ready to bring that experience home, for two grand you can also opt for Anker’s new Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K projector, which puts everything you need for a grandiose movie night experience in a portable package with its own convenient carrying handle.
With 2,400 ANSI lumens of brightness, the Nebula Cosmos may struggle with brightness and contrast when used indoors on a bright sunny day with the curtains wide open—an OLED will perform much better in those conditions. But even in a moderately dark space it will easily project a massive 150-inch image on a screen or wall letting you really see every last detail of a 4K image. For easy setup, the Nebula Cosmos both focuses all by itself and makes sure the projected image is perfectly square and level, while a pair of side-firing 30-watt speakers should easily fill a room, or a backyard, with satisfying sound. It even runs Android TV providing access to hundreds of streaming services, games, and media players—all you need to provide is wireless internet. —Andrew Liszewski
