When I return to Brooklyn in a few months, Nebula Mars II Pro it will replace my favorite 4K LG TV.
Filling the gaps between the portable Nebula Capsule and the tuli Nebula Prizm, Nebula is the Anker Mars II Pro it takes what makes those products work and works for them. Unfortunately, this highly skilled project is hampered by the practical software experience.
First of all, the in-app bakery store is a Google Play Store called "Aptoied TV." This limits the number of apps you can download. Most of the apps you are looking for, like YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and Spotify, are available but some are not as up-to-date as you want. For example, there is no "Skip Intro" button for Netflix.
The YouTube app is not working properly; I can't seem to sign in to my account. The app simply flashes during the process. It works fine without logging in, but it's really disappointing that I have to search my subscriptions (especially with the aforementioned remote experience.)
Navigating it, too, is painful. Signing in to apps using a keyboard away from the screen is a nasty and nasty thing. It actually sounds like a problem solved over the years with mobile logs and QR codes.
To avoid headaches, skip baked software and invest in Roku or Apple TV. The native HDMI in support means you can bypass those wonky components altogether and opt for more navigation.
Better yet, the projector has a USB port that can power the streaming dongle, and miraculously, my Nintendo Switch. When used in tandem and booth, becomes an excellent, portable gaming rig. One I tend to take is camping.
Sadly, the projector is unusable in battery power in the bright room. The 12500mAh built-in battery promises up to 3 hours, and in my tests, is quite long. However, the Nebula Mars Pro automatically reduces the amount of light to stretch usage, so it doesn't shine like a power connection.
It's probably more approachable but if you intend to use it in a room with lots of sunlight, I recommend investing in dark shades; the 500 ANS is light enough. It is in the dark room that one is truly illuminated. The colors are full and the picture quality is actually surprisingly good.
For what it's worth, the biggest question mark for me is 720p. But after broadcasting the Brookyn 99 tone on Hulu, I found that I didn't miss 1080p as much as I thought. Of course, the reliability is unlike anything from a 4K display but the colors were good, and the details were a little soft, and I found watching the shows in it interesting.
The one where I saw the decline in quality was the Overwatch League game live streaming on YouTube and where I was trying to show an image larger than 80 inches.
That said, the audio quality is really bad. It may sound loud, sure, but the sound is muddy and extremely heavy. This is amazing if you think Anker makes awesome speakers. Fortunately it has a 3.5mm jack output.
So for whose sake?
If you, like me, had a lifestyle that would benefit from a dynamic viewing experience – e.g. you want to take it to camp with you – or in another room, a safe bet. The Nebula is the Anker Mars II Pro you may not use agnesickety, theater aficionados but in a play or viewing session, it's amazing.
If you decide to build a theater around it, just invest in a streaming device and external speakers, to let it really shine.
