Over the past few years, “big screen” has increasingly meant “flat panel,” with projection displays relegated into a specific niche. Anker’s new brand, Nebula, hopes to reverse that trend.
Nebula’s 0.65-inch digital micromirror device (DMD) throws a 1080p display at a screen up to 100 inches on the diagonal at 3,000 ANSI lumens. The short-throw, front projector sat just a few inches (according to Anker, it must be a minimum of 11 inches away) from the screen, creating what appeared to be a big-screen TV. Officially, the Nebula Laser Display 100-inch will cost $3,000.
According to Anker, the Nebula includes 802.11 ac Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, though it isn’t a “smart TV” with built-in services like Netflix. It will support AirPlay or Chromecast, however. The base unit also includes a pair of 20-watt speakers, plus a standalone subwoofer that puts out 60 watts of power.
