Anker’s 4K Projector Offers Liquid Cooling And Advanced Features

Anker has unveiled its new outdoor projector, the Nebula X1, which promises cinema-quality brightness, easy setup, and immersive sound, all for $3,000.

The X1 features a triple-laser system, with separate lasers for red, green, and blue, each designed to last 30,000 hours. It’s paired with a 14-element glass lens capable of delivering an impressive 3,500 ANSI lumens, making it ideal for daytime outdoor viewing.

Immersive 4K UHD Projection with Flexible Setup and Motorized Zoom

The X1 delivers 4K UHD output on screens as large as 200 inches from a distance of 13 to 22 feet (4 to 6.7 meters) with a 0.9:1 to 1.5:1 throw ratio. It features motorized optical zoom, allowing you to adjust the picture size without moving the projector. The lens is mounted on a micro gimbal with sensors, enabling it to tilt vertically by 25 degrees for precise throw angle adjustments.

It also features AI technology that automatically adjusts the image for optimal position and size based on the projection surface, adapts visuals for wall color, and handles keystone correction independently. You can save settings like size and viewing preferences for different rooms, and easily recall them the next time you set up the projector in those spaces.

Stunning Visuals with Dolby Vision, Wide Color Gamut, and Heat-Resistant Glass Lens

The X1 is compatible with Dolby Vision content, offers 110% coverage of the Rec.2020 color gamut, and provides exceptional detail in dark scenes thanks to its 5,000:1 native contrast ratio. Additionally, Anker notes that the glass lens is heat-resistant and won’t blur the image after prolonged use, unlike resin lenses.

The company has incorporated a liquid cooling system into this 13.7-pound (6.7-kg) projector for improved heat dissipation. Anker claims that this groundbreaking feature makes the projector lighter and quieter compared to one with a traditional fan cooling system.

The audio experience is also quite impressive. The projector features a built-in speaker system with dual tweeters, a full-range speaker, and a passive radiator, producing 40 W of sound. Additionally, you can wirelessly pair it with lossless speakers for 4.1.2 surround sound. Each satellite speaker has four drivers and provides up to 8 hours of playtime on a single charge. Since they connect via Wi-Fi, you’ll get minimal 25 ms latency within a 100 ft (30 m) range.

The projector promises quick one-tap setup, runs Google TV and the boatload of streaming apps on the platform, and supports voice commands as well as a good ol’ physical remote and a mobile app to control it. You’ll also find physical buttons on the device itself, along with two HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K at 60 Hz, USB Type-A and Type-C ports, and a 3.5-mm audio jack.

Convenient Features and Considerations: Portability, 3D Support, and Karaoke Options

There are a few other convenient features to enjoy, such as a pop-up handle for easy portability. However, this model doesn’t have an internal battery, so you’ll need to consider connecting it to a wall outlet. It also supports 3D, provided you have DLP Link 3D glasses and compatible content, as well as optional wireless microphones for karaoke. The latter is a feature you don’t often find on a projector.

The X1 will be available for purchase starting May 21, priced at $3,000 for the projector alone. A bundle that includes two satellite speakers, two microphones, and a carrying case is expected to be priced at $4,000. However, by signing up with your email on Nebula’s product page, you can get up to $700 off the bundle.

At that price, it’s considerably more expensive than the $2,000 Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K, which has received positive reviews. JMGO’s gimbal-mounted N1S Ultimate offers some similar specs at $2,800,, and there’s also a more affordable a 4K budget option in this lineup. On the other hand, HiSense offers its C2 Ultra priced just under $2,500. So, while there are several alternatives in this category, the Nebula is worth considering if you’re particularly interested in a very bright display and wireless audio.
