Finding a television that fits into a smaller space is more difficult than ever. Space is a luxury, after all. When you add on the poor audio quality from most televisions, you’re left with very little room or options — or so I thought.

After months of feeling boxed in by my old television, I decided to part ways with it. The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. I wanted my room to feel less cluttered, and the television was a big part of the problem.

I decided to replace it with an Anker Nebula Capsule portable projector. It’s about the size of a soda can and produces a better image than my old television. I’ve owned the projector for about a year but thought I had lost it after a recent move.

I managed to find the Nebula Capsule hidden in a box under my bed. I plugged it in, closed the blinds and the image went from a hazy projection into a focused, clear image. I threw on a music video to test the sound and was surprised to find that it sounded even better than the old television we had (no soundbar needed).

Anker Nebula Capsule The Nebula projector is compact, weighing just over a pound. You can easily bring it with you on outdoor trips or to watch at a friend’s place. There’s also no need for a haphazard maze of cords or TV mounts.

I could throw the projector image onto different walls in my apartment. All it took was creating a makeshift tripod by resting the projector on a stack of books or a stool. If you prefer proper stability, the Nebula has a slot for you.
