INTRODUCTION

   Projectors may not be for everyone out there but if you're willing to spend time and of course money to properly do your research (or if you're just looking for a way to play movies outdoors) they will certainly reward you with their performance. Now, for good or bad most of the latest top-end projector models to hit the market have been Ultra Short Throw which aside their high cost these models also require specific projection screens to work properly. On top of that they are significantly larger than compact models and although size may not be a serious problem when you're looking to setup a projector at home or at the office if you're looking for a portable model these types are obviously a no go. Nebula recently added a new compact model in their growing Capsule line of projectors and so today with me i have exactly that, the Capsule 3 Laser.

   Nebula represents an exciting new class of smart, portable entertainment products. This includes Nebula's popular line of high-definition projectors. These devices are breathing new life into the projector space in 5 key ways: beautiful and portable designs, incredible sound, amazing battery life, rich content and smart A.I.

   The Capsule 3 Laser Projector by Nebula runs Android TV 11 and is based on DLP technology which thanks to a 0.23" DMD chip (960x540p) paired with XPR technology (we see this mostly used in 4k projectors) can achieve Full HD (1080p) resolution. The Capsule 3 Laser sports a brightness of 300 ISO lumens (30.000 hours LED life) together with a contrast of 500:1 and also features autofocus (also manual) and keystone correction (auto/manual) and even support for HDR10 content. Inside the compact cylindrical body of the Capsule 3 Laser Nebula has placed a Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU (G52MP2 GPU) together with 2GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB eMMC flash, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, 52Wh (14500mAh) rechargeable battery and an 8W Dolby Digital Plus Speaker. Nebula has also equipped the Capsule 3 Laser with top touch buttons and as for connectivity at the rear we find a USB-C port (for charging and file access - movie/music playback), aux output port and HDMI v2.1 port (Chromecast for Android mirroring is also supported). Finally, since the Capsule 3 Laser by Nebula is a 1.2 throw model it requires no less than 3.16 meters distance in order to achieve its maximum screen size of 120" (2.6m for 100" and 2.15m for 80"). So, time to see just how good the latest laser projector by Nebula really is.
