What reviewers say about the Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K

Two whitelisted testers (ProjectorCentral lab-measured; TechRadar hands-on) praise this portable laser projector's brightness, easy auto-setup and versatility, but both flag weak motion/action handling and too-high input lag for serious gaming. ProjectorCentral also measured a blue color tint across picture modes and a brightness shortfall (1,702 vs the rated 1,840 ANSI lumens).

  • Versatile all-in-one: streaming stick with real Netflix support, decent built-in speakers · 2 sources

Commonly flagged

  • Input lag too high for competitive/serious gaming · 2 sources
  • Poor motion/action handling with camera movement · 2 sources
  • Included remote lacks full functionality (can't reach projector settings) · 2 sources
  • Blue color tint across picture modes; measured brightness below rated spec

Where reviewers disagree On value the two diverge: TechRadar calls it a 'surprisingly fair price' and well-priced for its versatility, whereas ProjectorCentral argues that at the $2,199 MSRP its accuracy, blue tint and remote flaws stand out and it should perform better.

Measured brightness (Standard mode): 1,702 ANSI lumens (92.5% of rated 1,840) · Brightness uniformity: 93% · Input lag 1080p/60 (Game Mode Standard): 68.1 ms · Input lag 1080p/60 (Game Mode Extreme): 65.1 ms · Input lag outside game modes (image correction off): 119.4 ms · Color volume: 108.57% of BT.709, 73.85% of DCI-P3, 49.95% of BT.2020 · Grayscale accuracy (Picture Custom Warm): average dE 5.5 (max 8 at 95% brightness) · Color point accuracy: average dE 7.7 · Measured color temperature: a little over 7,700K · Fan noise (3 ft behind, 31.2 dBA floor): 33.5 dBA

Anker rates the brightness at 1,840 ANSI lumens, though I measured a bit less than that at 1,702 lumens.
All of these options could be adjusted manually, but they do a great job in their automated mode, so I never felt the need to do so.
Out of the box, everything looked blue.
Even in game mode, the input lag is too high for anything but casual gaming.

TechRadar hands-on ·

It's packing in some considerable brightness and a laser lamp that make for a high-quality image in a form factor you can pick up and bring from room to room.
Action is handled poorly when there's camera movement, making this an unideal option for action movie aficionados.
It's not so bad that casual gaming is out of the cards, but it's too slow for competitive or serious gaming.
if you want a projector that will regularly work in a lot of different places around your home, there are few options that will do it as well and as easily as this one.
