BenQ vs Nebula Projectors

BenQ and Nebula sit at different points on the price scale. BenQ's models range from £376.99 for the MX560 to £2,932.99 for the LU935, with the MW560 at £398.99 and the TH671ST at £917.99 in between. Nebula's models here run from the soundcore P1i at £402.99 to the D2426212 at £753.99, with the N2325212 at £572.99 and the soundcore P1 at £703.99 in between.

BenQ's technology is built around brightness and control. The MX560 and MW560 deliver 4000 ANSI lumens with 20,000:1 contrast, the TH671ST has ultra-low input lag and LumiExpert technology for viewing in different lighting, and the LU935 adds a 6x zoom and large lens shift. Nebula's models are Full HD and less bright, at 300 to 650 ANSI lumens, but they include built-in smart streaming, Dolby Audio speakers and autofocus. The soundcore P1 has detachable 20W speakers, while the P1i flips its 10W speakers up and down and left and right.

BenQ suits people who want a serious picture in a dedicated room. The TH671ST is for gamers, and the LU935 suits offices, meeting rooms and fixed installations. Nebula suits a bedroom, flat or living room where the projector is a quick, all-in-one way to watch films and TV without a separate speaker. The D2426212 supports power-bank charging over PD, which helps when a socket is out of reach. Nebula models work best in a darkened room.

Bottom line: choose BenQ if you want brightness and control for a dedicated room, such as the MX560 at £376.99, or a gaming-focused TH671ST at £917.99. Choose Nebula if you want a simple, self-contained projector with built-in streaming and speakers, starting with the soundcore P1i at £402.99 and stepping up to the soundcore P1 at £703.99 for detachable speakers.
