4.3 Light Bleed

While the projector offers excellent image quality, some light bleed may be present, particularly when keystone correction is heavily utilized. This is a common characteristic of projectors that use digital keystone correction. For optimal results, try to position the projector as directly as possible to the screen to minimize the need for extensive keystone adjustments.

5. Sound Quality

The NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector is equipped with a powerful audio system for an immersive sound experience.

• Integrated Speakers: Features dual 5W tweeters and dual 10W full-range speakers.
• Dolby Audio: Supports Dolby Audio for enhanced sound clarity and depth.
• Noise Level: The fan noise is measured at approximately 28dB, which is generally considered quiet and not distracting during viewing.

The projector can also function as a standalone Bluetooth speaker. For 5.1 surround sound, you can connect external audio systems via HDMI ARC, though 5.1 is not supported in Bluetooth mode.

6. Gaming Performance

For gamers, the projector offers a dedicated Game Mode to optimize performance.

• Input Lag: In Game Mode, the image/video delay is between 40ms and 50ms, which is comparable to many gaming projectors.
• Connectivity: Supports HDMI 2.0 and 240Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay.

While suitable for casual gaming, serious competitive gamers might prefer a more dedicated gaming monitor or projector with lower input lag. However, for most users, the gaming experience on the NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K is highly enjoyable, especially on a large screen.

7. Normal TV Usage

The projector performs well for everyday television viewing, even with standard HD content. Colors remain bright and vivid, and the overall picture quality is excellent. It handles upscaling effectively, making non-4K content look great on a large screen.

The high brightness allows for comfortable viewing even in rooms with some ambient light, making it a versatile option for daily use beyond just dedicated home theater setups.
