Verdict
Who it is for — and who should skip
Who it is for
Cosmos 4K SE upgrades brighter rooms with about 1,800 ANSI lumens and 4K Dolby Vision without jumping to the X1 laser flagship. It is the serious portable living-room step. Skip if Capsule 3’s dark-room portable already fits.
Who should skip
Skip if you only project in a fully dark bedroom. This role is 4K Dolby Vision at 1,800 ANSI lumens for brighter rooms. Capsule 3 stays the portable Netflix bottle; X1 is the 3,500 ANSI laser install; HAPPRUN is native 1080p at the value price.
