Nebula Prizm II Full HD 1080p LED Projector

Replacement has been sent, as usual their support team is on top of things. So after about a day of using this projector it's SERIOUS flaws started to show. As others have pointed out this thing has severe frame rate issues. Anything with high movement feels like a slide show at times. I took video of this and sent to Anker support who said it's "Normal" for this chipset. If this is indeed normal there is no way this is progressive 60Hz. It feels like watching a 32fps video (yes it's that bad). Also, the two modes in a complete dark environment are just not enough. The standard brightness is just too dim for any movies that involve darker scenes even at a normal distance. The "Bright" is absolutely terrible. It completely washes out any details and looks like a white haze. I took extensive photo and video evidence and sent this to their support team all to be told this is normal. Again none of this could have passed any sort of QA and be called normal. Even worse, I was told that the occasional video scrolling that hits randomly and makes the projector completely useless is ALSO normal. I expected more, and initially was super happy but it doesn't take long to start seeing the major flaws this projector has. 1. Brightness - Bright mode creates a severely washed out image, Standard mode looks good as long as you don't watch content with dark scenes in which you can't see anything. 2. Focus - Absolutely terrible. Center point looks fantastic, outside edges are incredibly blurry. This was after proper adjustments and a flat properly installed screen. It's like seeing 4x the detail center vs outer edges. 3. Scrolling - Random intervals I see a scrolling effect think like seeing the screen slide by over and over and have to reboot the projector. According to one of their engineers this is "normal". That alone convinced me to return this thing if this is normal as this makes ANY content completely impossible to watch. I have been an Anker fan for years. That being said I was reluctant to purchase this projector. I know what you're thinking for $200 bucks it cant be THAT good can it? Wrong. This projector has insane value for what it can do. Firstly let's get a few things out of the way. Original Review Brightness - For 200 ANSI lumens this projector really "shines" in a low to completely dark environment. So don't expect to use this in a room filled with lights. If like me you want to convert your living room or space into a theater with a 100" or smaller screen this does the job surprisingly well. Clarity - It's a manual lens, meaning once you set everything up you need to really take your time dialing it in. However, once I did a couple passes I got the sharpness VERY well set. At a viewing distance of about 6-8 feet or more you can't even see the pixels and the quality for THIS price point made my jaw drop. Sound - Here is where this puppy really blew me away. I mounted this thing directly above my theater style seats and BOY does it sound fantastic! I was honestly doing double takes at how crisp and punchy this things built in audio is. It's not quite as powerful when set up further away but if you can put it close or preferably above you this thing delivers high quality sound bar levels of audio. Cons - If you plan on hooking this up anywhere other than a few feet from an outlet purchase an extended mickey mouse cable (6ft or more) as the included cable is about 6 feet total. Not a big deal 5 bucks on Amazon and you're set. I loved the interface super simple and easy to use, the remote control is nice but you will have to have it in order to do ANYTHING other than power it on or off. So don't lose it. One last note this has zero OS built in. So have a Chromecast or Firetv stick handy. The included USB port supplies enough power for either device so no need to run another power cord. In my opinion no other projector even CLOSE to this price point offers this much value. Especially in the audio department I was totally blown away. I am actually thinking of picking up another one for my patio because it's SO cheap. Just remember if you want to have lights on this isn't for you. Having one dim light source is fine and doesn't affect the image but turning on the lights in the room will wash out the picture fast. Great job Anker! Super impressed.
