1 00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:04,650 - This one's gonna be interesting. This video is sponsored by Nebula, is under the Anchor Umbrella. 2 00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:09,920 And it's about one of those portable projectors, but it's unlike any portable projector 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,520 that I've ever seen before, because usually those things are kind of basic 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:21,370 and this one is anything, but it is a 4K Laser Projector with Android TV built-in 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,770 and obviously a focus on portability. 6 00:00:25,770 --> 00:00:31,810 In terms of hardware, it's got a Cortex-A55, quad core two gigs of RAM 16 gigs of storage. 7 00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:36,340 Here we go. Auto Keystone, auto screen detection. 8 00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:39,650 It'll apparently actually dim the lights if you accidentally walk in front of it, 9 00:00:39,650 --> 00:00:43,150 which is kind of important for a 2,400 10 00:00:43,150 --> 00:00:46,550 lumen laser projector. - [Andy] Great if you have a kid. 11 00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:49,550 - Yeah, yeah, definitely beneficial if you have a kid. 12 00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:53,130 It's better not to blind your children, leave it to them to do that themselves 13 00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:57,070 when they're teenagers, if you know what I mean. If I had to guess, I'd say these allow 14 00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:00,350 to do all the smart things it does. So ambient light detection, 15 00:01:00,350 --> 00:01:04,140 auto positioning of the image and all that kind of cool stuff. 16 00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:07,320 Cooling fan right here. If you're gonna do 2,400 lumens laser, 17 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,624 you're definitely gonna have a little bit of heat to deal with. 18 00:01:10,624 --> 00:01:17,220 It remains to be seen how quiet it is. There's a vent pull up and back up. 19 00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:20,750 Okay, here we go. And then we've got here. 20 00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:24,080 Maybe there's something in the accessory kit that will make sense. 21 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,781 They're supposed to put like a little Chromecast thing in there or what? 22 00:01:29,017 --> 00:01:32,200 Oh, hello, Nebula 4K Streaming Dongle. 23 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,713 So it does have Chromecast built-in and okay. 24 00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:40,210 This is really cool. I think this is the whole brain, 25 00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:43,523 which conceivably could mean that you could upgrade it. 26 00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:46,353 That's really cool. 27 00:01:50,115 --> 00:01:53,340 Is that a little cooling fan for this compartment? Totally is. 28 00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:58,083 Interesting. What an unusual way to do that. 29 00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:02,660 Kind of like it actually. Does it have on board speakers? 30 00:02:02,660 --> 00:02:09,640 Yes, it does. It's got two speakers apparently support for Dolby audio, auto focus. 31 00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:14,530 I guess all that remains now, is to try it. Actually, let's have a quick look at the remote first. 32 00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:19,740 So you've got all your main video services. Find video, YouTube, Netflix, Disney, 33 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:23,760 they missing anything? I guess you see Hulu, Hulu buttons on some. 34 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,210 - A Floatplane button. - Yeah, Floatplane button. Where's the Floatplane button Nebula by Anker? 35 00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:33,910 Where's the lttstore.com button where people can get really nice shirt like this one, 36 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:38,370 or a dad hat like this one? The buttons on the top, other than the power button 37 00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:43,254 all seem to be touch sensitive. So all that remains now is to go try it out. 38 00:02:43,254 --> 00:02:47,240 BRB. Something I noticed about the Cosmos Laser 4K while I was coming up here 39 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,030 was that it's hefty, but not heavy. Like you can, you can one hand it. 40 00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:55,350 And I really liked the grip on the bottom. It's nice and rounded. 41 00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:58,860 It's rubberized. It's not the kind of thing you'd wanna drop. 42 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:03,260 So I guess that's a good thing for it to have. That's interesting. 43 00:03:03,260 --> 00:03:06,310 It's got what appears to be a quarter inch 44 00:03:06,310 --> 00:03:10,920 threaded mount on the bottom. So if you wanted to just put it on a little stand or something, you could do that. 45 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:15,380 Let's plunk it down and theoretically, this should be about the distance we need 46 00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:19,453 cause it's got a 1.27 times a throw ratio. 47 00:03:21,126 --> 00:03:27,720 So we need to be about 27% farther from the screen than the diagonal 48 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,280 of the image we're trying to get. Nebula says the Cosmos is good for anywhere 49 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,510 from a 60 inch to 150 inch screen. So we are gonna be at the very limits 50 00:03:37,510 --> 00:03:40,673 of its capabilities here. Let's try that one more time. 51 00:03:40,673 --> 00:03:43,203 Maybe you hold to turn. Yes. 52 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,563 Okay. You can correct the image or blah, blah, blah. 53 00:03:49,666 --> 00:03:53,950 Oh, one of those sensors on the front was IRR. So it's an IRR rather than an RF remote 54 00:03:53,950 --> 00:03:58,980 something to keep in mind, but they seem to have, yeah, they have sensors on both the front and the back, 55 00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:03,660 which makes life a little bit easier. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use the Nebula Connect App 56 00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:09,030 because this particular model isn't out yet. They are launching their Kickstarter when this video goes up 57 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:13,730 and then they're gonna be shipping in March, 2022. To be clear, I don't consider this to be us 58 00:04:13,730 --> 00:04:19,020 promoting a Kickstarter product cause it's like Nebula by Anker. 59 00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:23,490 They're not exactly some nobody's. So I would be pretty darn confident 60 00:04:23,490 --> 00:04:30,460 that it's actually going to ship. One thing I would like to see is some way to 61 00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:32,993 kind of level it a little bit more easily. 62 00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:37,090 I feel like our table's not level, wait. 63 00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:40,000 I think it is. I think I just didn't have it centered before. 64 00:04:41,799 --> 00:04:45,310 We are definitely gonna have to reposition this couch a little bit though. 65 00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:48,293 Actually we can try out the eye dimming thing. 66 00:04:49,136 --> 00:04:52,653 Did it dim at all? - [Andy] Nope. - Oh. 67 00:04:52,653 --> 00:04:56,600 - [Andy] You're blind now. - I wonder if it actually needs to see your eyes. 68 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,940 I don't wanna test it. I legitimately do not wish to have 69 00:04:59,940 --> 00:05:03,385 laser beam shown into my eyes. You know what? 70 00:05:03,385 --> 00:05:09,110 I don't feel like testing that. Hopefully they've got it sorted out. So we just need to prop it up a touch. 71 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:14,370 In a perfect world, we wouldn't wanna use Keystone at all. Ideally, we'd be able to 72 00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:19,053 just get it up a little bit higher. You'd want it right about, 73 00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:24,130 here. Yeah, do we have something about the Store? 74 00:05:27,206 --> 00:05:30,883 That's pretty darn close. Why is this table so crooked? 75 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,463 I think we're actually gonna call that good enough for a portable projector. 76 00:05:38,740 --> 00:05:42,768 Just push down that box a little bit. Oh, wow. That's actually-- 77 00:05:42,768 --> 00:05:44,863 - [Jono] Pretty good. - Not bad. 78 00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:48,203 We'll just use the standard audio profile. 79 00:05:49,131 --> 00:05:52,593 So it's actually got four separate drivers in it, are two full range and then two tutors. 80 00:05:52,593 --> 00:05:57,390 It's got Bluetooth connectivity. So you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker if you want. 81 00:05:58,293 --> 00:05:59,823 Wait, no. I don't wanna actually do that right now. 82 00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:03,946 Well, it can do that. 83 00:06:06,864 --> 00:06:10,130 There we go. Just press back and then it's all good. 84 00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:14,980 Open Plex. "Sorry, it looks like XGIMIGon Give It To Ya 85 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:16,347 isn't available right now." 86 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,712 Where did that come from? And I'm supposed to trust Google Assistant 87 00:06:23,712 --> 00:06:27,473 to like book hair salon appointments for me. Can't even do basically. 88 00:06:27,473 --> 00:06:30,483 I was trying to call Yvonne yesterday. It Called Yvonne ho, 89 00:06:31,447 --> 00:06:35,810 "Sorry, there's no number for Yvonne home, call Yvonne ho." 90 00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:41,140 And it's like Yvonne, something else entirely. "Sorry, you don't have a contact name Yvonne" 91 00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:46,460 Like call Yvonne. "Calling Yvonne ho". Like you'd think you'd look for maybe 92 00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:50,060 something that sounds close. No HDR support, unfortunately, 93 00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:57,428 but it's already really noticeable. The difference in contrast being on a laser projector. 94 00:06:57,428 --> 00:07:00,480 It's pretty cool. And Andy, unable to kill that light behind me? - [Andy] Sure, yeah. 95 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,313 - Let's get to extract myself. 96 00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:07,413 Wow, look at that. It did warn me about being in front of it there. 97 00:07:08,255 --> 00:07:11,900 Not bad, right? - [Andy] Yeah, looks good up close. 98 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,650 - Hey, Jono, did they mention if it supports HDR? - [Jono] HDR10. 99 00:07:15,650 --> 00:07:20,110 - It does support HDR? - [Jono] Yeah. - I said it didn't earlier and then I fired up how to train your dragon. 100 00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:23,810 I'm like, this looks like HDR. Good, I thought I was going crazy. 101 00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:29,500 (Jono laughs) Now it's Laser DLP. So if you are highly susceptible to the rainbow effect, 102 00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:34,500 then you might notice it. I do notice it a little bit, but I am highly susceptible to it. 103 00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:38,800 And it's as usual, only when you flick your eyes around on the screen. 104 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,090 So during normal content consumption, it shouldn't be noticeable. 105 00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:46,960 But as I move back to look at you guys, 106 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,310 I can see a little bit of rainbow effect. - [Jono] Oh yeah. 107 00:07:50,310 --> 00:07:54,690 - So personally I've never considered it to be a huge deal. Could I get that HTMI cable? 108 00:07:56,670 --> 00:08:00,513 You just moved my table, Jono. - [Jono] Sorry. 109 00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:03,823 (Jono laughs) - I had it just right. 110 00:08:04,711 --> 00:08:10,450 - [Jono] I'm sorry. - Man, this is really riding a fine line between, 111 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,869 portable projector and like actually looking really good. 112 00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:20,057 - [Jono] Yeah. - Okay, let's try some games. - [Andy] Actually sounds good. 113 00:08:20,057 --> 00:08:24,010 - That actually sounds surprisingly usable. 114 00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:28,720 Man, the remastered graphics don't look that amazing 115 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,563 until you toggle the original ones. You're like, oh right. Yeah, the nostalgia effect is strong with this one. 116 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,370 I've never played this game with a controller really. 117 00:08:39,916 --> 00:08:43,850 So I have no idea how to, there we go. There's a weapon that doesn't suck. 118 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,983 This is very different from the battery powered projector toys that we've looked at in the past. 119 00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:56,002 Oops. Oh, crap. (gunfire) 120 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,763 Like this is an actual projector that just happens to be portable. 121 00:09:03,050 --> 00:09:06,901 It's pretty cool. (gunfire) 122 00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:18,714 It's got a one-year warranty. It's rated for 25,000 hours of light source life, 123 00:09:18,714 --> 00:09:22,180 which is freaking lot. And while it is going to be a 124 00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:25,420 pretty penny at around $2,200 MSRP. 125 00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:29,710 The Kickstarter is going to feature some hefty discounts. So we'll have that link down below. 126 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,430 If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you subscribe to ShortCircuit and I'll see you at the next one.
