Anker Nebula X1 review: a terrific home theater that goes anywhere

I rarely sleep in the same place for more than two weeks at a time, so I am a great fan of all -in -one display devices. It is small and creates quickly, making it ideal for gaming parties, gaming parties, outdoor films, or an evening in the sofa – but it usually sacrifices quality for comfort. The new New Nebula X1 display is from ANKER by producing an incredibly bright and accurate image with an excellent sound while it remains portable and calm.

Usually, if the transmission is at the highest list of your wishes, you will suffer the quality of sound and image. Giving priority to the cinematic experience as you look at an expensive and loud device that requires a permanent situation within the home theater. Over a month of testing through endless firmware updates and a variety of viewing conditions, Nebula X1 has done a great job in achieving the right balance with very few scourges, and providing ANKER.

But with the start of the price from $ 2,999, or $ 3,998 for the group that includes the very recommended satellite amplifiers, it is not completely cheap. And in approximately 25 rugs (11.3 kg) for the entire package – the X1 nebula is easier than portable.

Nebula X1 is a 3500 ANSI LUMEN Triple Laser 4K display with an integrated sound system with four speakers. It runs Google TV so that you get a built-in ChromeCast, Google Assistant and the official Netflix app (unlike many all-in-one viewing devices) that flows through Wi-Fi 6. It includes a pair of USB and HDMI 2.1 ports (one supports EARC) to connect your favorite game drive or media. A satisfactory and comfortable handle with a batch to make the projection unit 13.7 lb (6.2 kg).

There is a long list of features that make X1 unique for a mobile display device:

Note: I made my best with photographs, but it can only bring brightness, color and contrast that is displayed with the naked eye.

I will only say that: The X1 image quality is unparalleled for the All-Innehent Colle display. Ansi Lumen 3500 is better than many home theater shows, allowing it to produce a live image through a set of difficult environments without clear visual distortion. It looked great in the default settings when tested in a variety of lighting positions on the painted walls, a traditional withdrawal screen from eggs, a gray ocean light rejection screen (all), and a small foldable screen.

X1 will try to balancing color dynamically and contrast on any surface you discover. Mostly, it works, but the colors, especially the red, tend to be saturated outside the box, making the GWYNTH Paltrow face equal, especially on the ALR screens. ANKER offers a lot of manual abuses to contact you with the exact image you prefer with a few minutes of work.

Make the LUMEN number of X1 unofficial scenes possible in the spaces overwhelmed by the surrounding light. Sometimes, I found the picture Very brightEspecially when all this light focused on a 32 -inch diagonal on the shiny IKEA panel of only five feet (about 1.5 meters). Fortunately, you can manually reduce power settings and Iris to reduce the image. This pioneering brightness in the HDR10 and Dolby Vision makes more support than just examining the signs on the sales sheet often accurate with a lot of contrast, but it is still a DLP show, so do not expect real blacks. The LUMEN number of X1 should also do a decent work with 3D if you have the DLP 3D glasses (I haven’t experienced this).

More importantly, for the mobile, the X1 nebula features all the features of the automatic places you expect. This includes automatic focus, keystone correction, and avoid obstacles, as well as automatic adaptation to the color to improve the image based on the color of the paint or materials used on the projection surface. It can be operated manually from the device, the nebula, or remote control, or set to participate when starting the start and when the display is transferred.

Automatic image setting 100 before time, while automatic position features work well when there were clear limits. I had to correctly correct the edges manually when displayed on an empty white wall.

Relative start starting. You can start moving in Google TV in about 45 seconds of cold boot, or just a few seconds if you resume preparation.

There is also a “extremist” game that disrupts the correction of the digital key stone and cosmetic movement to perpetuate all this background treatment for faster response times. To play an informal game, the very slight delay is something that you get used to quickly. Collected microphones, I can confirm, enjoyable for the kareuki nights.

The sound is the murderer’s advantage of the x1 nebula. Even without satellites, the sound is clear and overwhelming and fills the room easily. Delivery of the optional satellite loudspeakers to the Wi-Fi direct and low mass to the main unit takes matters to another level.

Industrial satellites are automatically associated when starting and converting the four interior loudspeakers of X1 into a temporary sound amplifier, while the three loudspeakers in each satellite are responsible for the concentrated, higher and side channels. The resulting audio tape is wide and impressive and high enough for a group to enjoy outdoor enjoyment – as long as you have neighbors to accommodate. There is also a “Bluetooth Speaker” that extinguishes the projection lamp to play music with a lot of brightness when the full, rich and warm sound is all that is required. I used this feature for several hours a day, which helps to increase the value against money.

With the sound transformation, the display is very silent thanks to its liquid cooler. The fan set out on a special hot day of the test, but I could barely hear it (measuring 26 dB only from a distance of 1 meter) on the ordinary debt of the living room or waves that exceeded.

As expected, X1 did not meet the peripheral promise 4.2.1. I struggled to hear any separation of a simulation channel from public expenditures or behind. Anker recounts some strict employment requirements that I could not meet exactly In the test – you may have better luck. These satellites also dropped a connection that sometimes requires manual intervention that sometimes led to an audible Pop. It is a little annoying, and it has improved with every update of fixed programs.

I saw 19 hours of the battery life of these satellites (the display does no You have a battery) in the test. This included two hours of films that I watched in the open air in a volume of 50 percent loudly, and the rest eliminated his sponsorship on music by 20 to 30 percent. Even the IP54 satellite amplifiers survived a small rain shower when they forgot them outside once.

In general, I have no real complaints. Sometimes, the features of placing automatic images can miss the brand, but I find them more useful than inconvenience. Sometimes, satellite amplifiers are not properly associated with, but this can quickly be fixed with energy switching. Google Ui sometimes turns slow, but it is faster than any other mobile application you have tried. I have seen a lot of firmware updates, but things continue to improve.

Anker X1 was fully admired. It produces an incredibly immersive sound for its size, along with a bright and vital image similar to the home theater shows that are approximately $ 5,000. The X1 nebula with satellite amplifiers package is expensive at $ 3,998, but anyone finds themselves in need of a latitude that can quickly bring the home theater experience anywhere they go will get their money.
