Anker Nebula X1

Name: Anker Nebula X1
Brand: Anker Nebula
Price: 2199 USD
Availability: InStock

Anker's attempt at a flagship: 3,500 ANSI lumens of RGB tri-laser, a 1.67x optical zoom and a motorized gimbal that aims and aligns itself, with wireless satellite speakers sold as an add-on bundle. On paper it ties the Valerion VisionMaster Max as the brightest standard-throw lifestyle projector here.

Features

What it does well

3,500 ANSI lumens, level with the Valerion VisionMaster Max at the top of the standard-throw lifestyle projectors here
A 1.67x optical zoom over a 0.90-1.50 throw range, so it fits short and long rooms alike
The motorized gimbal aims and aligns without any manual keystone adjustment
40 W of built-in audio, with optional wireless satellites for a surround setup
30,000-hour laser and licensed Google TV
5,000:1 native contrast is high for a tri-laser design

What it gives up

60 Hz only, with no published input-lag figure — not a gaming projector
The gimbal adds moving parts that a fixed projector does not have
$2,199 puts it against laser TVs that need no screen wall clearance
Anker's projector service history is shorter than the established projector brands

Throw calculator

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 0.9–1.5:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.

Throw at a glance

Screen at 8 ft: 73–122 in
Screen at 10 ft: 92–153 in
Screen at 14 ft: 128–214 in
100-inch screen at: 6 ft 6 in–10 ft 11 in
120-inch screen at: 7 ft 10 in–13 ft 1 in

16:9 diagonals, estimated from the published throw ratio: image width = distance ÷ throw ratio, diagonal = width ÷ 0.8716. The maths.
