N3 Ultimate

If you’re just trying to get a solid 120 setup and not keep messing with it, I’ve had some early time with the JMGO N3 Ultimate and it’s been pretty easy to deal with so far. Brightness has looked solid and the image has been clean without much tweaking. It hasn’t felt like a rabbit hole purchase.

A great little video on why a screen is not always necessarily needed (going from a fairy expensive screen to just the wall) for an amazing image. https://youtu.be/Xaj-xeYFBfo?si=tdUZroN64jRzZ7Sl A darker color will absolutely make a difference for your light spillage...if you want any type of home theater experience with contrast that is quite important. I would even go as far as a carpet for in front of the screen to further reduce that light spillage. https://a.co/d/01CPuaGu If you do not want to paint your walls (which again is not for everyone) then another solution for around the screen and ceiling is this felt which almost completely eliminated all spillage... https://a.co/d/007FwbcR As far as projectors go the 'lifestyle' projectors are absolutely a fantastic product with exceptional image, brightness and clarity. I owned many Epson products including their UB line 5030UB, 5040UB and 5050UB and I have not gone back to those for a reason. JMGO has their upcoming line in the N3 Ultimate that will have optical zoom, optical lens shift and Dolby Vision making it VERY hard to beat.

Just got the JMGO N3 Ultimate, I also had these three comparisons in mind because of the similar price range. However, best decision so far.

If you need lens shift then eliminate the Valerion. That leaves you two options that are almost identical. The difference in lumens is negligible, and frankly I can't imagine a instance where that 100 lumens would make any difference at all. The XGIMI looks to have better native sound. Tough choice. For me the sound would not be an issue as I pretty much always use external sound sources and I doubt that there is much difference in the sound quality between these two anyway, regardless of the HK badge. Overall the Jmgo has slightly better specs. I would be leaning towards the Jmgo.

I run my N3ultimate in the living room with the curtains partially drawn during the day and it's completely usable. It's almost too bright at night, I keep having to dial it down.
