JMGO N1S Ultra 4K Triple Laser Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, 2800 ISO Lumens, Official Netflix, GTV, 360° Sensorless Picture Correction, 300", HDR10, 20W Dolby Digital Plus, Smart and Portable

The JMGO N1S is a really great, full featured 4k projector at an affordable price. I was actually looking for a 75”-77” OLED or QNED display when the JMGO N1S Ultra caught my eye. I know that projectors can’t really match the image quality of transmissive display, but the ability to get to monstrous sizes at a very reasonable price is incredibly enticing. The integrated tilt-swivel mount was another detail that got me interested. With 135 degrees of tilt and 360 of swivel built in, it is incredibly convenient to aim the projector at the ceiling or on different walls (I hadn’t yet set up my 100” ALR screen). It is small and light enough to conveniently move around if you want to use it in other locations. Even projecting on matte white walls or ceilings, the image was bright and very vivid, not at all muted as I was expecting. (Tip: If you are going to project on the ceiling I recommend getting a low profile 90 degree HDMI cable or adapter to make tilting completely vertical easier). With 3000 ANSI lumens, the image still looked very good even during the day (my windows and sliding glass doors have translucent white cloth vertical blinds so there is still quite a bit of light with them closed). At night, with room lights off, the projector never needed to be set higher than the lowest brightness setting with an image size over 80 inches on the white wall. The auto keystone correction and obstacle avoidance are also quite impressive to see. With the features turned on the projector runs through them on start up. The keystone correction does what you expect, but the obstacle avoidance actually pans and zooms the image to avoid things in the way (in my case a track light on the ceiling that encroached the edge of the image and a framed piece of art on the wall). The swivel base can be removed in case you want to mount the projector on the dedicated accessory floor stand or dedicated ceiling mounts that JMGO have available. The autofocus is very accurate, and the manual focus (in the menu system) is easy to use very precisely when needed. The projector automatically dims to protect eyesight if it detects someone walking in front of it (the lasers really are that bright). Images are very sharp and crisp (even when zoomed out to a small image when the projector must be down sampling and interpolating). The contrast ratio was very impressive considering I was projecting on a white wall, images had detailed shadows and highlights.The projector also features Google TV and Netflix as wells as the apps you’d expect like Max, Prime Video, etc. With the built in Apps, WiFi 6 and BT 5.1 you don’t really even need to plug anything in besides the power (even has a USB port if you want to throw content on that way). I haven’t tried it yet but the projector also supports 3D glasses.Additionally I have found out first hand that JMGO are very responsive and helpful from asking them some questions via their chat on their website.In summary I have found the NS1 Ultra to be an excellent 4K projector due to its great image quality and rich feature set.

The media could not be loaded. Pros:+ Sharp picture and vibrant bright colors+ Automatic picture adjustment+ Android tv built in+ ALLM and 120hz@1080p for gamingCons:- controller has no backlight- no Dolby vision support- no Dolby Atmos support- android tv built in doesn't support NetflixI have been using this projector for a few weeks now and I can confidently say it's the best I have used so far. The picture is bright and sharp and it works great for gaming. There are two mount holes underneath the projector if you want to use a Ceiling mount. The auto adjustment is awesome as it removes much of the trouble with getting the picture right when mounting the projector.Regarding inputs, it has two HDMI ports, one supports earc so you can use it to send audio to your audio device of choice. I used a wisa soundsend transmitter so I could avoid the hassle of running more cable across the ceiling.The projector supports ALLM so it switches to game mode automatically for Playstation and xbox. It also supports 120hz at 1080p, though I struggle to see the difference between that and 60 Hz at times. There is no VRR support, but it's pretty rare to find console games that support that feature anyway so I'm not missing much there.The UI and interface is also one of the best I've seen as the projector utilizes Android tv for a seamless app experience. Only issue is that I can't add the Netflix app on it, though it's not a big deal since that app is available on my ps5 and Nvidia shield that I have connected to the n1 ultra via HDMI switch. The interface is definitely better than most of the generic UIs I've experienced from other projectors I've owned.There are plenty of picture options for adjusting the projector but it takes some playing with in order to figure out what they all do since there is no explanation. My personal favorite is vivid, strong adaptive luma control, bright gamma, strong local contrast control, and memc set to high. I really didn't notice a difference in the mpeg nr setting so I just left that off.For a first gen product it truly is phenomenal, but there's plenty of room for improvement. For starters, any display at this price point should come with a backlit controller. It's a little difficult trying to use it in the dark and I don't see how adding a couple of LEDs to the remote would have complicated the design or cost at this price point.Another improvement would be the addition of Dolby vision. It's still pretty rare to see this in projectors, but some short throws from hisense and formovie support Dolby vision now. it would be awesome to see the n1 ultra get a similar treatment with a software update like the hisense short throw line of projectors did.Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. If you're on the fence departing on getting the n1 ultra, I highly recommend picking one up. However be warned, once you get used to the picture, it's very difficult going back to anything else. There's nothing quite like enjoying your favorite shows and games on a bigger than life screen in the comfort of your own home. 😎Edit 2023/10:I had to revise my rating from a 5 to a 3 because of an issue with Atmos support. I initially thought that it was my set up that prevented the Atmos from working. however, I took my SoundSend puck that connects to my wireless speakers and plug it into a cheap $300 tv and I was able to get Atmos sound on my speakers from that. So this tells me that this projector does not support any Atmos. which is a fairly big letdown considering this projectors price tag and that other projectors in this range have Atmos and Dolby vision. It's strange since my shield tv device shows that this set up with the projector should support Atmos, but there is never any sound unless I switched audio to 5.1 or pcm. It would be nice to have an update that adds this and Dolby vision in the future but I’m not holding my breath.Edit 2024/06:I raised my rating to 5 stars because of the support I have received. They weren't able to add Dolby vision or Atmos but they did everything they could to ensure I would be content. I decided to return the unit so I could find something else with Dolby vision and Atmos but the support I received is among the best I've experienced on Amazon.
