Our Verdict

Anker Nebula Mars 3

NexiGo TriVision Ultra

The Anker Nebula Mars 3 and the NexiGo TriVision Ultra are two mid-sized projectors with a carry handle, but of the two, the NexiGo is the superior pick. It's far brighter than the Anker, with deeper contrast, so it looks punchier in any room condition. The NexiGo also delivers a sharper image with its pixel shifting technology, while the Anker is limited to 1080p. They're both inaccurate out of the box, with the NexiGo being more so than the Anker, but the former is easier to calibrate. The NexiGo is the superior pick for gamers, too, as its input lag is far lower at 4k @ 60Hz. If you instead game at 1080p, then the Anker's input lag is slightly lower at that resolution, but they're both pretty slow there. Both units have a handle for easy transport and weigh about the same, but the Anker is a tad more portable due to its fully featured smart OS; the NexiGo requires a dongle for apps.
