Nebula says the Capsule Max and Capsule II can project up to 100 inches. I use a 120 inch OWLENZ screen . And both the Max and Capsule II filled out the screen without sacrificing picture quality. Nebula’s Capsule Max vs Capsule II: The Differences

If you are planning to go bigger, then expect a more pixellated effect and lower brightness. This thing is not a 240 volt 3000 ANSI lumen home projectore. Unlike it’s smaller counterpart, the Capsule boasts a 720P resolution, which, while it doesn’t provide the highest definitely you might hope for, certainly does the job when watching a movie or streaming TV shows, and is a step up from the Capsule.For the 0.3-inches display the projector uses the DLP technology, which is notable for its high contrast, smoother projection and smaller footprint than LCD projectors. On the other hand, though, it requires more brightness to look the same, has poorer colours and is less efficient (produces more heat). It should be noted that many cinema projectors use this technology.

Colour is not what I would call “accurate” even in the best of conditions. Most probably, though, the Capsule Max won’t be used in the best of conditions: the typical setting is to use the projector on a wall or some other less-than-ideal surface. Considering this, the colours are good enough: even when projecting onto a wall they look fine. There’s enough depth and contrast for images to look vibrant and saturated. Colours tend to the warm side and it is especially apparent with the skin tones. This does not take away from the vision at all, though, as it’s a relatively small deviation. This is true regardless of the mode being used, even though the “normal mode” has brighter colours that appear to have less of this issue. I’ve always been more of an audiophile than a cinephile. Picture quality is something I always looked for when watching movies though, as experiencing movies with poor visual quality means losing a good chunk of what the director envisioned – just as what happens when you listen to music with poorly performing headphones or speakers.
This is an incredible piece of equipment. Both the speaker and projector are great. The auto-focus and auto-keystone adjustments are amazing. Connectivity works well and the built-in apps are responsive and fun to use. So what are the differences between these two products? For the most part, as Anker-manufactured projectors, they share features and specs such as the fact that they’re both DLP projectors with the same brightness (200 ANSI lumens) and resolution (1280 x 720 at 16:9 aspect ratio). They even feature the same 1 x 8W (270°) speaker and 1-second autofocus. In those terms, they’re practically the same unit.

To a degree all portable projectors are small but the Nebula Capsule Max is tiny, standing just 15cm tall, with an 80mm diameter, the projector is smaller than most Bluetooth speakers. And, weighing just 737g, it’s also lighter than a lot of Bluetooth speakers, too. When looking at the Nebula Capsule Max you wouldn’t say that it is a projector: it looks more like a fancy Bluetooth speaker. In fact it is a 150 × 80 mm (it is compact!) aluminium and plastic can with holes all around the lateral surface and controls on top. Design isn’t anything special, yet its simplicity makes it kinda attractive. It is built reasonably well, with no apparent flaws. The 737 g weight is also low enough for it to be portable without issues. The small body size led me to think that the fan would be really noisy. To my surprise, though, it is absolutely not as it is barely audible. That’s true even in a quiet room, with no audio playing. The fan is so quiet it’s almost entirely silent! That means you’ll be able to enjoy audio from movies and other content even at lower volume. The Max has an 8W Bluetooth speaker. The Bluetooth speaker works like any other standalone speaker. Streaming music services such as Spotify and Tidal work well. The 8W speaker on the Capsule Max and Capsule II is larger than what you’ll find even in some home theater projectors. I really enjoyed watching some Netflix, picture quality is great and the speaker is decent considering the size, it’s comparable with a high end Bluetooth speaker. I didn’t notice any fan sounds, something often very noticable in low cost projectors.Although the Nebula Capsule Max offers a “speaker mode”, which allows one to use it as a speaker, it offers limited audio quality: bass is neither powerful nor very deep and there’s definitely a “boxy” ring to it. Voices have decent enough timbre and there’s good clarity even in action films. Using an external speaker, even a small and portable one such as the SoundCore Flare+ or the Creative iRoar Go, delivers much better results than using the embedded one. That’s absolutely understandable though, and the Capsule Max is indeed decent for watching films. The 100 vs. 200 ANSI rating is hard to quantify. Again, the Max (at 200 ANSI lumens) is noticeably brighter than the Mini (rated at 100 ANSI lumens) but does not appear anywhere close to twice as bright. The Dell 2400MP is 3,000 ANSI Lumens and far better in a well-lit room, but is about 10 pounds with the case, versus 1.6 pounds for the Nebula Max and just over 1 pound for the Mini. The Nebula Capsule Max has a projector capable of displaying images at 200 ANSI lumens with a max picture size of 100 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720. The throw ratio is as follows: In the end it’s quite a good setup which will be supported for many years, as Android 8.1 won’t be EOL’d for at least four years, so it should continue to be compatible with app updates. Picture & Sound Quality Thanks to these advancements in technology, portable projectors are increasingly popular and reaching lower price points which further help their popularity. Let’s see then how the midrange Capsule Max (the manufacturer’s top product, actually) performs.

Grabbing one of the best portable projectors is a giddying prospect for most cinephiles who’ve spent the last few years cooped up at home. It’s all well and good owning a big telly to stream on, but we all know the perils of attempting to move expensive tech around the home and the modern man needs the flexibility to host a garden watch party or to bring over a massive screen to a family gathering should he need to. The Max has 200 ANSI-lumens just like the Capsule II. That means if you’re outdoors, you’ll want to start using the projector at dusk. When you’re inside, just find a somewhat dark room.That being said I’ve really enjoyed testing the Capsule Max, it’s a great little projector I’ll be taking with me on holiday instead of a Bluetooth speaker. As a travel projector it is a great investment, how often have you been staying somewhere that offers you a tiny TV in the corner but a lot of blank wall space?
