Furthermore, if the company designed the dongle with upgradeability in mind, that could potentially be a big win for those who do not want to buy a new projector to get the latest smart features. Like with Lumen and ANSI Lumen, conversion between ANSI and ISO Lumen is not possible due to differences between both standards. Movies were very watchable with great color accuracy, minor rainbow artifacts, and good contrast, though the latter took a small hit in scenes containing bright objects due to the intensity of the light source. View cart for details. Likewise, columns 2 and 3 appear to be equally bright but have different ANSI lumen measurements.
The Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K, weighing 10.7 lbs at 8.7 H x 6.5 W x 10.4 D, claimed to be the Worlds most compact 4K laser theater with a pixel-shifted 3,840 x 2,160 resolution (1080p native like most 4K DLPs) and 2,400 ISO Lumen brightness rating. Tip: Projector can be flipped upside down, turning its carry handle into an excellent kickstand. USB functionality ceases a future software update will enable it, Lag is too high for high-intensity gaming, relegating projector to casual games, Fixed carry handle a collapsible one would have provided more compact storage, Android TV requires a Google account that is a Google requirement as part of the certification process, If privacy is a concern, just sign up with a burner account, Cosmos Laser 4K uses about 150W.
Power was provided through a single cable. The latest projector will be a noticeable jump in brightness from its Cosmos Max that previously offered the lineups highest brightness at 1,500 ANSI lumens. Some were quite impressive, from companies like XGMI and LG, to name two, and some were not so impressive (Im not planning on calling anyone out). Speaking of multimedia, you could play a variety of video and audio file formats from your personal collection off a USB drive formatted with a supported filesystem. Here are the specifications of the Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K / Cosmos Laser 1080p / Cosmos Max / Mars II Pro and Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projectors.

This mobility enables use from practically anywhere for business, pleasure, or both, including camp sites when paired with a power station or generator. The design features a hefty, ergonomic handle that makes it look more like a portable generator or battery, but it means you can set up any part of your house as a mini-movie theater. For example, a 2,400 ISO Lumen projector may very roughly be equivalent to 1,920 ANSI Lumen. In general, ANSI tends to be slightly lower than ISO, and so for the sake of discussion, some sources use the following formula: ANSI = ISO * 0.8 (or) ISO = ANSI / 0.8. Materially, Ankers Cosmos Laser 4K felt sturdy and looked strong like its smaller Mars II Pro sibling complete with a carry handle for portability, though the newcomers was in a fixed, non-removable position.
In practice, it was a bit off and required some manual keystone adjustments, but nonetheless a very cool and convenient option to have. Xgimi and many other manufacturers often try to achieve a minimalist, fancy look by omitting them, but I am not a fan of sacrificing convenience for aesthetics in portable electronics. I have not heard this projectors sound, but Ive listened to excellent projector sound systems running at five watts per speaker.
ANSI or ISO Lumen Rating? Keep in mind, however, that image brightness can be affected by ambient light, projection distance, screen size and type, light output technology and age, and other factors. Then Anker started a Kickstarter campaign on January 11, 2022, for its newest, brightest, portable projector yet: the Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K touted as the most compact 4K laser theater with a 2,400 ISO Lumen rating. The Nebula Cosmos offers automatic keystone adjustment and alignment corrections designed to produce a perfectly square image. In contrast (no pun intended), the dimmer, LED-based Cosmos Max 4K had output those same scenes slightly more evenly but at the expense of relative brightness, clarity, and color reproduction. Projector works without it, but only for HDMI input (no USB at this time a future software update will enable it), Google Assistant voice control and queries, Full-featured, smart TV experience with access to 7,000+ apps, APK sideloading possible, though do so with caution, Android TV 11 upgrade is in-the-works by Anker, Modular design enables future hardware upgrades via a simple swap, Basic input options available: HDMI, USB, WiFi, Chromecast, AirPlay (via optional AirScreen app), Bluetooth audio (as speaker projection gets disabled in this mode), Easy-to-use remote, though with limited functionality, Download Ankers Nebula Connect app for better control, Compact and portable at 8.7 H x 6.5 W x 10.4 D and 10.7 lbs, Carry handle makes transport easier. Overall, we were quite impressed with Ankers newest Cosmos Laser 4K projector that bested its previous flagship, the Cosmos Max 4K and its unusual, oval design I was not particularly a fan of. He aims to live a life that is good and inspired. Setup for the three Anker projectors I had tested, the Cosmos Laser 4K, Cosmos Max 4K, and Mars II Pro, and the Xgimi Halo were straight-forward with guided steps like Google account sign-in, WiFi connectivity, app installation, and firmware upgrade, but if the Halo was any indication, I found Xgimis configuration wizard to be superior and pleasant. Something really struck me by surprise with this projector. With the higher brightness, Ankers latest projector may even be more usable during the day, at least indoors. In a nice touch, there was no AC brick needed like most projectors I had worked with. Anker rated the better one at 40ms, but I would not use the Cosmos Laser for anything but casual gaming.
Re-format to FAT32, Setup process was straight-forward but did not have the premium feel or experience the Xgimi Halo provided with its pleasing background music. No USB, unfortunately, though Anker told us that a future software update will enable it. They could also manually be adjusted through the Settings. Although this is NOT ACCURATE because of the many factors involved that affect brightness, it provides a generic reference to which to compare products by.

Or just use the included, physical remote (infrared, not backlit) or the Anker Nebula Connect smartphone app (Android/iOS) as other control methods. However, the ISO Lumen had been gaining ground because of its stricter measurement methods across a larger sample size under the ISO21118 specification. I did not test that feature, though Anker stated that DLP-Link glasses were supported, but only for side-by-side and over-under formats. Still, the chunky design of Ankers latest laser projector is not as compact as Samsungs latest Freestyle projector that it also revealed at CES 2022. The image would automatically flip for the correct orientation. A threaded mount could be found at the bottom of the projector for attaching to a tripod, but keep in mind that due to the Laser 4Ks weight, a sturdy one should be used that could accommodate at least 12 lbs. The 10.7-pound Cosmos Laser 4K was much heavier than the Cosmos Max 4K (7.27 lbs, LED) and Mars II Pro (3.94 lbs, LED). Left: Cosmos Laser 4K. Laser projection coming from the new Anker was excellent: bright with great color accuracy in daylight and even better with all other light sources removed. The company is apparently also offering a 1080p version that is expected to cost $1,599. The Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K is the companys first premium long-throw laser projector. Anker perhaps saw an opportunity for both consumers and businesses who desired portability and high brightness when it introduced its newest 4K flagship projector in early 2022: the Nebula Comos Laser 4K, the companys first foray into using laser technology as a portable projection light source.

My point is that imagers and light sources have advanced significantly from the first Sony, portable projector I got my hands in 19.. (Lets just say it was a while ago and leave it at that) to modern portables. Many projectors we had come across indeed had grossly overstated their ratings with insignificant, non-standardized measures like lux, contrast ratio, and lumens, in an effort to unfairly confuse and attract consumers. Brilliant! The company truly stands behind its products and listens to customer feedback, including to some of my critique and criticism of the Nebula Mars II Pro projector I had previously reviewed. The Cosmos is powered by a laser phosphor light source, providing 2,400 ANSI lumens of brightness while utilizing a simple, easy-to-use, and familiar Android TV 10 interface. For instance, the Gain rating of 1.1 with the 100BTF Screen with Stand (120 /135)ensures the image brightness is not hampered by that products material.
