JMGO - N1 Ultra

I second the jmgo rec above, but the n1 ultra is now going for 1k, down from like 2400. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and even though the sale is over it hasn't gone back up just yet. Not sure if it's just the new price but at 1k it is a STEAL and I would jump on it. I did!

I own a jmgo n1ultra which is available for 999€ I don’t even notice any laser speckle like early reviews suggest. It’s very bright and absolutely quiet(-which is really rare-). Sound is good and the latency also seems quite good but I just tried some small apple arcade games I can’t say anything bad about it except that it hast no lens shift.

Jmgo n1ultra (not even close I would say)

Maybe it’s because English isn’t my mother tongue I wanted to say that the Jmgo n1 ultra ist extraordinary good in its price range especially after the updates and if you hook an Apple TV or fire tv to it

Thanks for clarifying. Yes you are correct about how some projectors emit more light than others around the border. I have a JVC RS-1000 and JMGO N1Ultra and contrast is quite different between the two. That being said, the JVC doesn’t completely block light from being emitted outside the frame. In fact the actual resolution of the JVC is wider than my 16:9 frame and because my current setup is white walls I can faintly see that extra border on the left and right sides outside the frame. Of course it’s much better than the JMGO. I think the broader point I was making is that projectors are incapable of projecting the color black. I have pictures of my JVC projecting where sometimes it looks as dark as OP and others where you can fully see the white of the screen where the “black bars” are depending on brightness of the room or brightness of the projector. OP is also being selective with the pics as you can see the border much better in the second to last pic. That’s not to diminish anything. I love my JVC projector and OP’s is better than mine even. But there are so many factors affecting how dark the “bars” will look and even I’m contemplating a physical mask for mine when not watching 16:9 content.

Enjoy!! I’ve been using my N1A 4K for a couple of months and absolutely love it! Phenomenal projector for the price point for it’s size.

JMGO N1 is a really solid model with much better brightness and a gimbal stand that may work really well for your setup needs.
