Sure, big-screen TVs are pretty great, but you can't beat a good projector, especially when you can snag one like the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser projector for just $540. But you'll need to act fast because this is a limited-time deal, and that price could be back to its usual $750 in no time at all.
This isn't quite the lowest price that we've seen, but it isn't all that far off. It's also the lowest we've seen outside of annual sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For that reason alone, we don't expect this deal to be beaten any time soon.
We're big fans of the Nebula lineup at CNET, with several models making our list of the best portable projectors. While we put the LED-powered Capsule 3 on that list, for an in-depth look at the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser it's worth reading the full review at our sibling site PCMag.
PCMag's M. David Stone gave it an "excellent" rating and praised its ease of setup, impressive image quality and even Bluetooth speaker capability. "If you want top-tier picture quality for a mini projector, combined with minimum weight for easy portability, the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is probably the projector you want," he wrote.
The Nebula Capsule 3 Laser projector fits comfortably in your hand and weighs only 2 pounds, making it easy to take with you. The projector offers 200 ANSI lumens of brightness and 1080p resolution. You can play videos for 2.5 hours thanks to a 52-watt-hour built-in battery. It can also play up to 8 hours of music on a single charge.
You can easily access streaming apps (Netflix comes preinstalled), and it works with Google Assistant and Chromecast. A powerful 8-watt Dolby Digital speaker delivers crisp audio, and there's even an optimized outdoor mode to boost the sound when environmental factors are more in play.

Why this deal matters
The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser was impressive for its size before the current price drop, so it's an even better value today. Previously, we saw this projector drop to $510 during Cyber Monday. While the current price is $30 more, you're still saving $210 off the list price. There's no way to know how long this deal will last, so grab one now if you're interested.
