JMGO N3 Ultimate review: A mighty projector to battle ambient light and inconvenient placement
With the N3 Ultimate, JMGO provides stunning brightness and flexibility at a very competitive price.
The JMGO N3 Ultimate is a 4K projector with an impressive 5800 lumens, making it a powerful tool for overcoming ambient light and placement challenges. At $2999, it offers great value for its capabilities. The projector features a 40-300 inch screen size, HDR support (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision), and a refresh rate of 60Hz/240Hz. Powered by RGB laser projection, it delivers 2x12.5W audio and boasts a generous 0.47 DLP pixel count.
The projector's design remains consistent with previous models, featuring a gimbal stand and a two-tone chassis. The gimbal stand now includes motorized control for both rotational and vertical adjustments, allowing for remote positioning. However, the stand lacks levelling feet, potentially leading to slight tilting when placed on uneven surfaces.
Despite this, the projector's optical zoom and lens shift capabilities provide extensive flexibility in positioning, enabling users to achieve a nearly perfect image without digital cropping.
The N3 Ultimate offers two HDMI 2.1 ports (one with eARC) and a USB port, with the rear of the housing dedicated to cooling. Despite the projector's size, it manages to stay relatively quiet even at close range. Equipped with a foam carrying case, the N3 Ultimate is portable but lacks sufficient protection for rough handling.
In terms of performance, the projector's brightness and black levels make it more suitable for brighter environments. While it may not achieve the darkest blacks like some competitors, it excels in bright content and can still perform well in moderately lit rooms. The RGB laser technology delivers excellent color gamut coverage, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
