Which jmgo ultra? Iirc they have a few model but imo they should all be already 2k lumens of less, so the only one that will be a lot brighter is xgimi 20 max which hit 3000 lumens but iirc it can be noisy as the fan ramp up when it's that bright due to heat. Imo don't think xgimi 20 base (1900 lumens) will be significantly brighter than your jmgo. Imo you can try using this to get an estimate of the brightness you want, so just move your projector till you get the brightness you want and go from there.

I think, jmgo n1 ultra, and buy a silver ticket woven acoustic material 92inch or 100inch, just measure the throw ratio 1.2:1 (1.2x92"=110.4") (1.2x100=120"), buy a center speaker align to ear level and place it behind the screen. https://preview.redd.it/ejoj5uey9bgf1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac4becdedc8d233cdcb4e613bafdb7de2c3afbf3 Place your screen like this (don't place it too high) If you have no issue projecting to your wall then dont buy a screen, or center speaker being too low. But setting up screen placement is a must and buying projector screen is a must too when buying a projector.

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.

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

I have a jmgo n1 ultra and it does 3d really nicely. My nieces and nephews love doing 3d movie night I bought a ton of glasses It’s really easy the projector does all the work automatically on its side. I have to change 2 settings in vlc media player everytime on my pc and it works great. I vastly prefer the projector to my meta headset for 3d. The image is just so good and the headsets are heavy for a 2 hour movie

I have the jmgo ultra 4k, have for like 2 years. It’s been absolutely phenomenal. The kids love 3d movie night. One of my favorite tech purchases ever. Great speaker, great image, and it’s a gimbal stand or whatever so it’s easy to move around

I love my jmgo ultra 4k lol Easy operating system, image is spectacular, boots up quick, and it swivels and moves around easy on the stand + autocorrects I’mage I had bought 2 other projectors before it but didn’t like the operating systems and they had a bad rainbow effect which hurt my eyes

I have had the jmgo ultra 4k for about a year it’s been an incredible projector. Looks amazing and the operating system is easy to use

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

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

Don’t think you’ll do much better without fixing the lighting issues. That’s a solid projector

A little but it would take a pretty huge jump because what you have is pretty bright

Hey happy NYE. I have a spot about 8-9 ft from a wall. The wall is white with slight plaster texture. And the room is moderately bright but I can make it dark. That's where I'm looking at movies and YouTube...no screen. Main priority is brighteness and clarity, I don't play video games, and don't particularly care about sound. I do want a Bluetooth enabled model. I currently have the JMGO ultra but it's just a bit dim. Not horrible, but does anyone know of a step up or different model to get for the above features? thanks!

actually last night I watched a movie with attention to turning down ambient light. I got good results with brightness and clarity. and also noticed the projector and GUI are pretty slick. Looks like I just stick with this projector and enjoy!
