Summer is coming to an unfortunate end, which means you'll need to get the most out of your outdoors time before the winter winds roll in. As a projector expert, I've scoured the internet in search of a worthy portable projector for those late-night summer cookouts, and I think this one stands out.
Right now, you can get the Nebula Cosmos 4K SE smart projector for $1,099 on Amazon. That's saving you $200 on a projector projector with a 200-inch screen size. It's also built to have incredible picture performance for outdoor camping and backyard movie nights.
Many of the best projectors are often too expensive to recommend. That even includes portable 4K projectors, but the Nebula Cosmos SE is the exception.
Not only is this a 4K projector that can hit a maximum screen size of 200-inch, but it also has Dolby Vision support. That'll give your HDR movies a kick in performance even in the middle of your campsite.
What stands out to me the most on the Nebula Cosmos is its 1,800 ANSI lumens, which pertains to its screen brightness. For the price you're paying, that's great at keeping image quality as crisp and detailed even in brighter environments, which isn't easy for most projectors.
Of course, contrasts and color won't be perfect on a design like this, but if you want the best possible performance in a portable projector, Anker's Nebula X1 is the more likely candidate. Given the X1 is nearly $1,500 more expensive, I find the Nebula Cosmos 4K SE a bit more reasonable — and it has more than enough performance at its cheaper price.
You can't go wrong with a Nebula design. As a projector reviewer myself, Anker's Nebula makes some of the most durable and powerful portable projectors you in the market. They're also super easy to setup, as the Nebula Cosmos 4K SE has a autofocus and keystone control, so you don't fiddle for hours getting the perfect image.
Don't wait as this deal won't last for long. Summer is nearing its end, and you'll want to make the most of your hiking and backyard cookouts while you still have time, wowing friends and relatives with a 200-inch screen as if you're at the movie theater.
