NEBULA Anker Mars 3 Air 1080p Mini Projector, Smart 400 ANSI-Lumen Portable Projector with Google TV, Wi-Fi, Dolby Digital, 2×8W, 150-Inch Picture, Built-In Battery with 2.5-Hour Playtime

This was a little bit of a stab in the dark as I was looking for a small portable projector for the bedrooms and the mars 3 air had just come out and had no real reviews yet. I was first tempted by the Samsung Freestyle 2, but a lot of reviewers noted that for its price (~£700) it wasn't that good a projector. IIRC it only goes up to 240 lumens. But it had good apps and connectivity, so it was hard to find something with a similar feature set but cheaper. The Mars 3 was generally recommended as an alternative, but that's a similar price point to the Freestyle for a bulkier, brighter protector that's better for outdoor use, which I don't care about that much.That's where the Mars 3 Air came in - at £450 it's much cheaper than the freestyle, almost twice as bright, and has excellent connectivity and app support, with even native Netflix, which the more expensive Mars did not have.Some things to watch out for - first time set up is a bit slow, confusing and clunky. Google Home setup via the app is pretty okay, but it took a *long* time to download and install firmware updates. Once it was up and running, it still behaved weirdly, e.g. I could not access the settings menu, or sign in to YouTube, or download new apps at all at first. The trick seems to have been to reboot it several more times. Once fully set up it all works as expected.The auto keystone features and auto focus in my experience aren't great - they're a good starting point, but at least in my space, I usually do need to go in and manually adjust them. If this is the case for you, I would recommend turning off auto keystone and auto focus on startup and after movement, so you don't have to recalibrate every time you nudge it or turn it off.Overall though I think it's a really good deal for the price - responsive UI, very solid brightness and colours, great sound. Connectivity and apps all work fantastically, and having Netflix natively on the device is great! You can also Chromecast easily from a laptop or phone. Expect a bit of faff during first time setup, but after that it's a really solid device!

This was my second projector I have ever bought, the first being a cheap £60 unknown brand one which was terrible a few years ago. This is 100x better overall, with the key stone correction and image quality. It is only 1080p HD quality, but what great picture overall, and projecting at about 100 inch screen with potential of reaching 150”. Not had a larger wall to try any bigger but I personally think that was more than suitable. I watched a 4K video which downscaled to 1080p, but could barely tell the difference. Fantastic that it has google tv built in, which I never used before, so functional and easy to use. At 400 lumens the brightness is great, the black colours are dark and the bright colours have great contrast. So far a great portable projector that can be transported outside or in. I have watched various things since using, such as; tour de france biking, films, tv shows, and most of the tv apps, as well as trying outside in the evening. They all work great. I should say that I was debating on getting the Nebula Capsule 3 instead of this, but the more research I did the more it led me to this product simply for its increased lumens, projector’s size, and ability of increasing the screen size without distorting much of the image. I am not saying I wouldn’t choose the Nebula Capsule 3, but this projector had more going for me. Unless anything happens I will update my review, but this has been my best purchase this year.I am no expert of projectors but I think this is a great entry product, and for enjoying a home cinema like setup.

I love projectors and after so many research when i bought it .. it delivered on time .. appearance and holding in hand was good .. battery wise it was good and very easy for setting it up ..image quality and sound was great.. only problem i faced like when a little movement happens it kept going on adjustment and for this u must need a tripod and a steady place where it doesnt move .. capsule 3 the way it was advertised like holding in hand and watch but with this if a little movement happens it straight go to adjustment and you lose the excitement of warching something u are into it.. another problem i faced and for that reason i returned my item at the moment because in my nebula.. disney plus.. bbc player .. itv player was not working and kept giving problem saying region problem .. i am in UK and in my region these apps are working but mine projector was not working and contacted Nebula too so due to that reason i had to return my product but if someone projector is supporting all these apps .. you will love using this projector.. but u will need a tripod or a place where it does not move..i will recommend to try and buy

I'd like to buy a new projector for my daughter to replace her current crappy one with budget around £500-600. I've done quite a lot of research and read through loads of product reviews and videos. I finally chose Nebula Anker Mars 3 Air 1080p. It is surprisingly good! The design is modern and compact enough not to take up too much space. The set up is quite easy and straight forward. No fuzz at all! I've connected it to Apple TV 4K and it's just very simple. The sound from the device itself is pretty good already. I connected an Apple mini HomePod as well and it worked smoothly. I have bought a tripod separately. All in all, I'm just very happy with the product. I'm so happy that I have bought another one for our home! Highly recommend the product for anyone who is looking for a not too expensive but with top projection quality device!

Currently projecting onto the ceiling and the picture is bright and clear with a darkened room.The sound is also really good from the built in speakers.Haven't tested other conditions yet, but so far very pleased with the quality, ease of use and size of the projector.
