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.
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
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
I have owned and used both. At the end of the day the specs mean absolutely nothing to me. What matters is the image I am looking at and again, I owned the 5030,5040,5050 (and the LS11000 for a couple of days) and yes, the JMGO outperforms them without question. If you can get a chance to see both I suggest you try cause you will be blown away. https://preview.redd.it/7rlbdueas6ze1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4eb60122f39d00e2208c72bbf7148ceee195fe8
Hello, great question and basic answer is NO! A little backstory first. I have been using projectors since my early days at Sony Canada. I have owned multiple Epson projectors from the basic models and the 5030, 5040 and 5050UB so I have plenty of experience with the Epson line. I actually ordered the LS11000 as I was tired of the bulb and wanted to switch to laser a few years back. Within two hours it was back in the box going back to Epson Canada. Not that it wasn’t a nice machine but there wasn’t really a noticeable difference between the 5050UB and the LS11000. It was at that point I started searching through the newer ‘lifestyle’ projectors with LED and Laser technology. I tried literally 8 different models with none covering all the bases I needed. Then, by chance I found the JMGO Kickstarter and decided to back it. A week later I backed out (just a gut feeling) a month or so later I rebacked which ended up costing me another $600 I believe it was as I had missed the early bird offer. Anyways, long story short, I received the JMGO N1 Ultra and it was a game changer. EVERYTHING I was looking for in a projector and then some in a package that made the Epson line feel like semi trucks in size and with performance that smoked the Epson line. Needless to say I was so impressed with the technology I restarted my YouTube channel based on home theatre reviews and have now don’t many reviews on all the models up to the newest JMGO N1S Umtimate which is the best projector I have ever used, Hands down. It available shipped to Canada from Amazon US for $2099 on sale right now, even with the shipping charge to Canada you will still be lesser than the used Epson…by far. Check out my review on this model as well as other JMGO projectors and I PROMISE, you will not regret it! https://preview.redd.it/j0954tai7uye1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=540f05f8f34a9f8e097218a22dfed10693b30655 This image is 160” on a wall only, no expensive screen etc and it it so close to OLED it is ridiculous.

The JMGO N1S Ultra which is identical to the Ultimate, just a little less lumens 2800 vs 3300 and still freaking amazing is $3100 shipped to Canada, that includes taxes duties etc. and that is brands new, full warranty yada yada.
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
