Despite returning my JMGO N1S Ultra, I would recommend buying one if:
- You need a big image, and
- you can't permanently install a monitor or tv, and
- you can place the projector 10+ feet away from the wall or ceiling without any obstructions (or infrequent obstructions), and
- it is being sold new for $1,600 usd or less (on October 4th, 2024 it was $2,000 usd with amazon prime).
The Bad:
- No zoom, which limits where it can be placed to get a specific image size.
- The light source can't be replaced when it dies. The entire projector will need to be sent back for repairs, or replaced.
- No built-in battery.
- The lens on my projector had defects or debris in multiple layers of glass.
The Disappointing:
- No Usb-C port(s).
- No SDI port(s).
- No XLR port(s).
- The "case" is made out of some kind of styrofoam. The "case" "door hinge" is made out of a single piece of plastic. It's slightly better than no case.
- Does not support apple screen mirroring out of the box, but I have read that app(s) can be downloaded to the projector for that.
- Keyframe adjustments don't hide the light from the original projection shape.
- No privacy with Google software.
- Slow text input with the remote control.
The Good:
- Very convenient rotating stand that can be angled horizontally or vertically.
- A max brightness of 3,000 ansi lumens that can be reduced automatically or manually.
- Keyframe can be adjusted automatically or manually. I would recommend trying to get the best angle possible first. Keyframe adjustments can't fix everything (on any projector) and image size and/or quality will be reduced.
- Color can be adjusted automatically or manually. The projector can detect the color of a surface and make color corrections.
- It has wifi and bluetooth.
- Built-in speakers.
- Remote control included.
- It has a Usb-A port.
- It has two HDMI ports.
- It has a 3.5mm audio jack.
- Very little input lag compared to the TCL smart tv I have used.
- The projector light will automatically dim when someone walks in front of it. Don't remember if this feature can disabled.
The Unknown:
- Don't remember testing the "obstacle avoidance" feature, but it's not something I would use often. Just like keyframe adjustments, it will slightly reduce image quality and/or size.
