This Portable Projector Has Netflix Built in and Is $100 Off Right Now.
The Nebula Capsule 3 is a projector the size of a soda can but with cinematic capabilities. It’s currently on sale for $399.99, which is a 20% discount off the original price.
This baby projects at 1080p resolution and 200 lumens of brightness, meaning your movies will be crisp and clear—as long as the lights are dim and the room is dark. And while it supports screen sizes up to 120 inches, the manufacturer says you’ll get the best picture quality at around 80 inches in a dimly lit room. It also features 8W Dolby speakers, which means “this thing sounds good for its size.” Plus, with Google TV OS, Chromecast built-in, and Netflix built-in, you won’t have to fiddle with additional devices to get distracted.
Setup is simple: you turn it on and Capsule 3 does screen adjustments, keystone correction, autofocus, and obstacle avoidance—all in seconds. With two and a half hours of movie playback, you can enjoy a full-featured movie without the need to recharge. (If you’re planning on drinking, you might need to park it near an outlet.) When it’s not projecting, it works as a Bluetooth speaker, delivering up to eight hours of playback.
Like everything else, the Nebula Capsule 3 isn’t perfect. Some users have noted that the image quality in bright light is not as stellar. Sorry, midday picnic lovers, you’ll have to wait until dusk.
Compared to other models, the portability of the Capsule 3 (with Netflix built-in) is hard to beat, and it delivers a great viewing experience. It’s worth noting that Anker’s Nebula Mars 3 Air offers a brighter display and better sound, and is heavily discounted, although it comes with a higher price tag of $449.
