[Summary]
I bought my first projector (a Xgimi H1) in crowdfunding in 2016 and 4 years after my purchase it still gives me complete satisfaction.
In 2019 I bought a portable projector in crowdfunding (a Xgimi Mogo Pro) and it was also a very good product.
In 2020, I wanted to test a 4k projector but the prices being still too high, I thought I would have to wait until I found the Nebula Cosmos Max sold for less than 1000 € in crowdfunding. I thought I'd give it a try!

January 2020: I purchased the Nebula Cosmos Max for less than 1000€
June 2020: expected delivery date but I would expect some delay as it is very often the case with crowdfunding
Why this projector?
My blog is a hobby and when I test a product, I have to choose a type of product that I use frequently because I don't have enough time to test products that I never use. I usually test smartphones because I use this kind of product every day but I also use projectors a lot, I gave up television years ago.
I've been wanting to buy a 4k projector for a few months now but with prices over 2000 euros, it wasn't exactly in my budget. So I waited until I found the Nebula Cosmos Max on Indiegogo. It's the first portable projector in 4k.
Buying a product on Indiegogo is always a risk but you have to know that the Nebula projector is produced by a company (Anker) that has already produced good projectors and this company has a great way to bring a good product on the market.
If you want to take the risk, it is always possible to buy it at a preferential price on Indiegogo:

Projection room
My projection room is rectangular, 4.6m x 2.9m (height 2.2m). The projection wall is a normal wall on which I have applied white paint without any particular treatment. The walls on the side are darker (dark grey and red) to accentuate the contrast with the white wall and avoid too much light reflection.
I have the possibility to place a projector at the back of the room at a distance of about 4m from the screen. I also have the option of placing a short-throw projector at the foot of the wall.
I don't have a dedicated installation for sound, I just use a sound bar from Xiaomi.
