The World Cup has long been a great excuse to upgrade your TV.
But what if you wanted to go big? As in really big?
Well for that, you'll want to go for a projector. And we've got just the one. The Nebula X1 is now down to £1519 for Amazon Prime members, which is easily the lowest price we've seen.
The 4K projector can reach a claimed picture size of 300 inches and is portable enough to take into the garden for World Cup matches outside – you'll just need an extension cable long enough.
The Nebula X1 has earned a spot amongst our best outdoor projectors, and while expensive, it makes up for it with some impressive specs.
The triple-laser X1 projector boasts 4K resolution, a claimed 3500 ANSI lumens of brightness and, of course, a claimed image up to 300 inches in size. So it's much better equipped for less-than-ideal viewing conditions than a lot of cheaper models, especially in ambient light.
While it's primarily designed for indoor use with a constant mains power connection required, it is portable enough to carry around and comes with a handle. It also helps that it's super easy to set up, thanks to Nebula's AI Spatial Adaptation auto set-up that includes real-time autofocus, keystone correction, ambient light adaptation and wall colour adaptation.
With an optical engine and lens array that tilts up to 25 degrees, the X1 is also quite flexible with placement, able to go on a projector stand, table, the floor or other spot.
And the all-important picture performance?
"In terms of colour, the X1 keeps the picture vibrant and engaging," our Nebula X1 review reads. "With the Antarctica episode of Seven Worlds, One Planet on 4K Blu-ray, the gentoo penguins preparing to dive into the ocean are detailed and vivid. Their bright red beaks and fluffy feathers look tangible and textured."
We did notice that the image was a tad too sharp, but this can be easily remedied by reducing the Sharpness setting by a few points.
Where the X1 really stands out from the crowd, however, is the audio. The 2.1 speaker configuration is rich and detailed by projector standards, and in a rare case for projectors, it packs a punch in terms of bass.
When it comes to streaming, the built-in Google TV comes with Netflix pre-installed and the option to download Channel 4, Disney+, YouTube, Apple TV, Netflix, ITVX, Amazon Prime Video and more. There's no BBC iPlayer, but you can still cast those World Cup matches from your phone.
For an entry-level 4K projector that can also be used to watch World Cup matches under the stars, the Nebula X1 is a great contender. Especially now it's £681 off at Amazon for Prime members.
