N1S Ultra

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 have this and the Dangbei Mars Pro 4k. The Jmgo n1s ultra is a great projector. I recommend

For 4K/laser /@ $1149 think the jmgo n1s ultra, the xgimi and other are all a few hundred more expensive, it's criminally better than the $5k sony I bought years ago.

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!
