Our Verdict

Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

Anker Nebula X1

The Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 and Anker Nebula X1 are similar projectors, although the Anker is a bit better overall. While the Anker is specifically marketed for its portability and outdoor use, as it has a retractable handle and a full suite of image correction features, the Valerion also comes with a carrying case, making it almost as portable. Still, the Anker offers more options, especially if you opt to buy its accessory pack, which transforms the unit into a full-blown sound system. It also has slightly better image quality overall. Ultimately, what you're looking for is likely to dictate your purchase: those looking for a pure home theater solution will lean toward Valerion, and those hoping for a more versatile option will lean toward Anker.
