Having unplugged it and then plugging it back in, the included remote started working, the Google Home setup started working, and the dongle screen was now bypassable. After unplugging it, plugging it back in, and trying to get past the install the dongle screen I finally removed power. It didn’t seem to register and there seemed to be no way to get beyond the request to install the dongle. I reached a point where it asked me to install the dongle. I installed a Nebula app from the Play Store. At one point it told me to go to setup in my home app. This part may be out of order – I did a large chunk of the setup using the back of the unit’s control pad. I thought maybe I needed to pair the remote at some point during setup. Pressed the power button on the back of the unit and it fired right up. ![]() No button combo would turn the unit on with the remote. Put batteries into the remote (they were included as I recall, odd a rare things in projectors,) and attempted to fire the unit up and nothing. Once into the inner bag there were no fingerprints or any human evidence. I checked and the unit did not appear to have been used and moved on. I’ve seen fingerprints before, but never strands of hair. This is quite possibly the only tech item I’ve ever had that had human hair in a sealed box. I have video of most of this and will be editing it into the final review, but here’s a summary of my first hour or so getting the unit up and running and tested. ![]() It’s a fairly good speaker and I don’t feel that any combo unit I’ve tested is particularly better speaker-wise.Ĭoming in at 5W tweeters and 10W woofers, It’s not quite loud enough for me to consider using the audio outdoors as a primary. Might have been my source, but I’m not sure. I’m going to experiment some more with it but it seemed to bring out the background noise too much and the main channels too little. The audio from the Cosmos is pretty good, but I could never get it quite right. But not a huge one for my use cases as I have dongles sitting about. Certification is evidently there and there’s no requirement to jump through hoops with a third party program that uses Firefox and your Netflix account to work. Yeah everything… this is the first projector I’ve tested where Netflix worked with an official Netflix app. The Android TV experience is what Android TV is supposed to be, and as far as I could tell everything on it worked after setup. I’m not pitting it against the Elfin as a note, I was just using two of the projectors I had available to get an idea (also threw a Pico T1 in the mix.) It was brighter, crisper, and generally what I would expect from something with these specs. There was no doubt the picture was better, slightly… I was using a 2160P UHD HDR source and it looked demonstrably better on the Cosmos with standard room lighting in effect. I pitted it against my old XGIMI Elfin projector and was about 20% more impressed with the 4K/2400 Lumens of the Nebula vs the 1080P/800l of the Elfin. This is on any projector I’ve reviewed, nothing special about the Anker Nebula Cosmos projector that makes the photos nigh-unusable. This is quite difficult to express because any photos taken of the projection universally look terrible. Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K Projector in action The same will probably be with the competition. So what you’re going to get here is a short review along with what reads like a bug report. You’d be surprised, but this doesn’t generate a lot of sales telling people what the real experience is. You don’t know me, probably don’t know the site, but we find what is wrong with products and then drill into everything that might make you not want to purchase an item. It’s going to the next reviewer after I get done with it. I have been given free reign to say whatever I want about either of the projectors and fear no consequences, but this was purchased from Amazon for me by their (future) competition. I received this as part of a head-to-head projector review that due to a shipping error is probably not getting started until next week when the competition arrives. I’d like to address a potential conflict of interest. TL DR – great picture, ok sound, very problematic setup, works with official Netflix app. This was updated because after discovering why the unit kept turning on. It works, it has apps, it’s smooth when up and running. It’s a 4K laser projector backed by Android TV and as such the viewing experience does not vary significantly from the relatively good experiences that I’ve had with Android TV. I’ve had the Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K Projector in my possession for about two weeks now.
