The Nebula Mars 3 is roughly the size and weight of a small cooler—not the lightest option, but ideal for outdoor adventures. It shines with 1,000 lumens of brightness, a solid 5-hour battery, and powerful 45W stereo speakers that sound more like a compact soundbar than a typical portable speaker.
It’s great for backyard movie nights or off-grid camping. The built-in stand helps with angle adjustment, which is handy since auto keystone and focus can be a bit slow.
Indoors, the picture is sharp and colorful, even in daylight. Still, movie playback has an overly smooth look that can make films feel less cinematic (think “soap opera effect”).
While it’s a bit bulky for a coffee table, the Mars 3 is a strong pick for outdoor use where brightness, sound, and durability really matter.
