Go for JMGO if you want wider colour gamut and better contrast ratio. BenQ for brighter. My vote goes to JMGO. More info @ [https://youtu.be/aXn7TFaisds](https://youtu.be/aXn7TFaisds)

They have almost the same throw ratio. So no different much on screen size at same placement. JMGO is slightly smaller in size but much much brighter.

Tripe colour laser projectors will give you the best contrast ratio with very low black. Wider colour gamut too. Feel free to watch my JMGO N1S 4K review @ [https://youtu.be/aXn7TFaisds](https://youtu.be/aXn7TFaisds) You can pick the Pro model for more brightness.

I have triple laser 1080 jmgo n1 air bright edition cvia 1100 looks way sharper than my 4k dmd Optoma khd33+. Not as bright but them colors match my 4k pc quantum dot technology monitor. Screen looks glorious but reflected onto my skin i look red. Can not take a good picture cause colors look off with iphone. Glad i bought it as only available in China. One night i was watching a movie with jmgo and was eating raspberries. I look down and they practically glow red so cool!

Brightness & contrast, color accuracy if you can't modify it later. Latency for gaming. I have the same projector btw. I wouldn't mind more lumens during the day but I find it plenty so far. One major factor is longevity :D Hope it doesnt die after 2.1 years.

Got a tiny jmgo pico for my GF. I have experience with the jmgo N1S 4K downstairs and I've been impressed. JMGO pico would fit easily on the headboard and is very comfortable with all sorts of slants/ceilings. She puts it on ceiling or different type of setups when she travels for work. 1080p though.

Same, upside down, bought as soon as it appeared on the market. Did not notice light spill.

I used to be in the market for those, ended up with the jmgo 4K N1S. Cinebeam had heating issues and GV50 is 1080p (by memory). These days I think you can do better than both of these models. MOGO4 for example?

That's a lot of budget. I'm happy with my jmgo 4k n1s for bit gaming and movies. 1k usd or less.

I have a picoflix btw and another jmgo N1S 4K. Can vouch for it in terms of quality. XGIMI killing it too btw. Never heard of the philips before to be honest :D

There's a wrap up at the end of the year [https://www.mondoprojos.fr/2025/12/18/guide-dachat-2025-les-meilleurs-videoprojecteurs-testes-sur-mondoprojos-fr/](https://www.mondoprojos.fr/2025/12/18/guide-dachat-2025-les-meilleurs-videoprojecteurs-testes-sur-mondoprojos-fr/) I myself only have a jmgo N1S 4K as my main, but it's fun to see the evolution of home projectors!

I have the N1S as the main. I wanted 4K mostly for gaming. I previously had a wanbo TT (1080p). Cheaper projecters get a lot of shit here but it was great for movie nights (low light or none at all) and has been used under heavy use - 8hrs a day if not more as a background youtube type player while working for almost two years. Wanbo gets some hate but I very easily changed a burned polarizer for like 25usd very quickly. They made it very simple to do (I have a post about it somewhere on reddit). A good movie on 1080p if done right can be more than enough but if you can afford it : N1S is really quality especially if you watch a lot of 4K movies or game. Have you looked into the xmigi mogo4? I almost went for a mogo or dangbei N2 back then until the N1S came out with a great deal for early buyers.

Yes, the N1S is a huge upgrade over the wanbo TT. I use both regularly. Works great with PS5 as well in low latency mode (gaming not even needed unless FPS). I think that the jmgo is worth the extra money vs the mogo4. I wouldnt pay that much for a 1080p projector. There are some great discounts these days on the JMGO.

The JMGO N1S 4K that I have has a low latency mode and a gaming mode. Gaming mode is at 18-20ms but you lose any 4p correction so the screen has to be perfectly placed. Low latency doesnt have that problem, and is the version I use to play most games like god of war or whatnot, and is apparently 35-40ms and perfectly fine for that usecase.

I am from Greece and I have ordered the xgimi z9x 4k projector (it has a Chinese menu) through the alibaba platform at a good price. Of course I don't feel like taking a risk because I already received the XGIMI rs 20 ultra, which also has a Chinese menu, via alibaba. It requires a little patience and in combination with a TV box/TV stick, the result is excellent. I personally made these choices for a better financial result. You obviously want to receive relatively quickly. Two great 4k options with relatively fast pickup are: hisense 4k M2 pro and JMGO n1s4k., the first with vidda operating system and the second with Google. Both are global releases and one can watch netflix, disney etc. o JMGO is around two kilos and hisense around 4 with a better processor and AI

Just fyi, theres a newer version of the n1s 4k that fixes the light spill with a new lens design. https://preview.redd.it/7yvzwpt2evuf1.jpeg?width=12240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ac7b249d6744454cde11f6db0dd9643071e98b0

I'm just saying it's shitty that they still sell their old stock when they released a better version that fixes an issue. I had to go through the process of returning the same one OP got and re order

7 months ago

Yes, it fixes the light spill but there's still a tiny bit, nothing compared to the initial version they released

Ok these are the things I don't like from the one I purchased because JMGO lies to you in your face: 1. **is not real 4k is XPR technology 1920 by 1080 at 240hz** this translates into the second lie 2. **It is not 240 hz refresh rate not even in 1920 by 1080** because of how XPR works [https://www.projectorjunkies.com/4k-dlp-projectors-is-it-real-4k-xpr-technology-explanation/](https://www.projectorjunkies.com/4k-dlp-projectors-is-it-real-4k-xpr-technology-explanation/) 3. **you will be stuck at 60hz** no matter what resolution is windows/mac showing you, after testing **it just does not show real 240hz or 120hz output** here is the test if you want to replicate it [https://testufo.com/frameskipping](https://testufo.com/frameskipping) 4. finally **is not HDMI 2.1 as advertised it is HDMI 2.0 with eARC** that means **no RGB at 10 bit Full, not YCbCr 4:4:4 at 10 bit** which is essential for HDR10, something you can partially workaround with **YCbCr 4:2:2 at 10 bit Limited or RGB 8 bit full (**this last one apparently applies dither to achieve the 10 bit *not 100% confirmed* **)** Now the cool stuff: 1. to be honest XPR technology 4k is amazing you cannot distinguish a real 4k from this 2. I watch movies and play at 112" diagonal and 4k @ 60hz and the experience holds up quite well for both scenarios. 3. image colors are amazing despite the dither or chroma subsampling it feels like a screen and not a projector so great for movies 4. brightness and contrast are quite decent just take into account that from over 80" screen size it starts losing brightness 1100 ISO are unrealistic in daily use here is a useful tool for you to do the calculations in NITS [https://www.projectorcentral.com/JMGO-N1S\_4K-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc](https://www.projectorcentral.com/JMGO-N1S_4K-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) 5. if you decide to buy it this are my best settings: 1. Picture mode: **dynamic** 2. Brightness, contrast, saturation: all in **50** 3. Sharpness: **5** 4. low latency mode: **low latency** (it just removes the ugly soap opera effect) 5. HDR: **on** 6. Temperature: **Warm** 7. DNR, MPEG NR: **OFF** 8. Adaptative luma: **off** 9. Local contrast: **On, Strong** (helps HDR to do its job) 10. Gamma: **middle** , dark for night (improves colors), bright for extra brightness in controlled daylight 11. Additional it has a color tuner and 11 point white correction that is most control that you can wish even in higher tier projectors so cool to have if you know what you are doing here. 6. it comes with google tv and all its benefits not gonna get to deep but its amazing 7. auto focus and auto keystone do an amazing job but if you want to get picky and go extra it has manual controls from the menu for you. 8. rear projection and celling modes are really appreciate it for versatility. Hope this helps you and other people to make their choice, so far I've really really enjoy it. Recommendation for the price 5/5 JMGO just have to fire their marketing guys and be more transparent with their clients they have a great product here no need for lies.
