Our verdict

A pocket-sized laser projector with Google TV and an internal battery, suited to camping trips and patio movies. Brightness is modest, so it favors dim surroundings.

Overview

NEBULA packs a 1080p laser engine, Google TV and Dolby Audio into a compact upright body that runs on a built-in battery. Autofocus and automatic keystone correction handle the setup, and a tripod mount is listed.

Portability is the reason to consider it: it can move from indoors to a backyard or campsite without wiring. The picture needs low light, since the brightness figure is modest. Throw distance sets the picture size within the listed range.

Who it's for

Campers and families who want a self-contained screen with streaming apps and no setup. Home cinema owners who need strong brightness or a ceiling mount should look at larger projectors.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Built-in battery for cord-free use
  • Google TV streaming included
  • Autofocus and auto keystone
  • Pocket-sized and light
Cons
  • Modest brightness needs a dark space
  • Battery runs only a couple of hours
  • Only 40 inch minimum image
  • Update support not stated

Performance notes

A laser light source gives consistent output, but the lumen rating is modest, so contrast and color depend on ambient light. The picture size follows distance from the wall, between the listed minimum and maximum throw. MEMC motion processing smooths fast movement, and battery life limits unplugged use.
