Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Nebula Mars 3 ist ein heller Akku-Beamer für draußen: 1000 ANSI-Lumen in nativem Full HD reichen im Garten schon ab der Dämmerung, der Akku hält bei voller Helligkeit rund 2 h. Er passt zu dir, wenn du Filmabende ohne Steckdose willst. Der Haken: nur 400:1 Kontrast, gut 4,5 kg Gewicht und Netflix nur über Umwege.
Pros
- 1000 ANSI-Lumen im Akkubetrieb, draußen schon ab der Dämmerung nutzbar
- Natives Full HD, scharf bis etwa 120 Zoll
- 185-Wh-Akku: rund 2 h bei voller Helligkeit, 4 bis 5 h im Eco-Modus
- Robust für draußen: IPX3, sturzfest aus 0,5 m, Anschlüsse hinter Gummilippe
- 40 W Lautsprecher mit kräftigem Bass, auch als Bluetooth-Box nutzbar
- Android TV mit Chromecast, lädt Handys per USB-C mit 15 W
Cons
- Nativer Kontrast nur 400:1, Schwarz wirkt bei Restlicht grau
- Netflix nur über Nebula Play, hakelig mit der Fernbedienung
- Mit gut 4,5 kg und klobigem Netzteil nichts für den Rucksack
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur sitzen oft nicht genau, Nachjustieren nötig
- Menü reagiert mit 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher träge
Der Nebula P1 ist ein mobiler Full-HD-Beamer mit Schwenk-Ständer, der nur im abgedunkelten Raum überzeugt. Im Filmmodus kommen lediglich 240 bis 300 lm statt 650 ANSI-Lumen an, Schwarz wirkt grau. Dafür liefern die abnehmbaren Boxen echtes Stereo, Google TV mit Netflix läuft ohne Stick. Der Haken: kein eingebauter Akku, ohne Steckdose oder 100-W-Powerbank bleibt die Wand leer.
Pros
- Abnehmbare 10-W-Boxen spielen neben der Leinwand echtes Stereo, bis 20 h Akku
- Sehr geringer Input Lag von 9 bis 10 ms im Modus Spiel Extrem
- Google TV mit offizieller Netflix-App, Disney+ und Prime Video
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur stellen das Bild in Sekunden scharf
- Natürliche Farben im Filmmodus, Bild fein kalibrierbar
- HDMI 2.1 mit eARC für Soundbar oder Konsole
Cons
- Im Filmmodus nur 240 bis 300 lm statt versprochener 650 ANSI-Lumen
- Kein eingebauter Akku, unterwegs nur mit 100-W-Powerbank nutzbar
- Nativer Kontrast 400:1, dunkle Szenen wirken grau
- Standby im Schnellstart-Modus rund 15,5 W statt 0,5 W
- Schwacher Bass, bei voller Lautstärke stellenweise matschig
