This right here is now JMGO N1S Ultimate 4K projectors: this is the best portable 4K projector; it is my all-time favorite portable projector. It’s the first ultimate high-brightness projector with built-in Google TV, including Netflix, and packs a shockingly high 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness. It’s so bright that you don’t have to wait for it to get dark outside or close the blinds to watch movies, delivering incredible brightness and HDR.

In this article, I’ll explain the crazy technology behind how this thing gets so bright. But first, if it looks familiar, that’s because the JMGO gimbal stand design is genius—it makes the projector so easy to set up. We’ve been using the N1 Ultra for the past year at our seasonal campsite, where our family camps all summer. But this new N1 Ultra 4K projector takes it to an entirely new level. I was super excited to test it at camp because it retains the great gimbal design, allowing for 360-degree rotation and 135-degree vertical adjustment, while also massively improving projection quality.
Now, let’s talk about how JMGO achieved 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness. It starts with their self-developed triple-color laser optics engine, using nine unique patents for better brightness, colors, and efficiency. JMGO’s innovative nine-chip laser, the first and only in the industry to integrate multiple RGB laser light sources, achieves incredible brightness and color accuracy. Most projectors use a basic LED light source or a single blue laser, which can hurt color accuracy, but JMGO’s three-color laser system delivers the best brightness and color quality.
On top of that, the N1 Ultra gets even brighter than other tricolor laser projectors thanks to its self-developed nine-chip laser—which provides 10–15% higher optical efficiency and better heat dissipation. Their quad-layer diffusion system spreads the laser light evenly, ensuring over 95% uniformity, so there’s no noticeable difference in brightness across the projection. The dynamic light speckle reducer minimizes scatter, giving you a clean, high-quality image.
All of this works together to achieve 3,500 ANSI lumens without sacrificing contrast, color accuracy, or image quality. The N1 Ultra delivers 1600:1 static contrast ratio and true HDR with 10-bit color depth, displaying over a billion colors with 110% BT 2020 color gamut. The Delta E rating of less than 1 means it’s as close to perfect color accuracy as you can get. The MAC Tech inside the N1 Ultra pushes projection quality without compromising any area, making it truly special.
I spent a good amount of time playing different 4K OLED test videos and was blown away by how vibrant the colors looked—so bright, even without a projector screen, just on a textured gray wall! Watching Avatar 2 in true 4K Ultra HD was mind-blowingly beautiful.
The 3,500 ANSI lumens allow you to pull the projector back and create a massive display that remains incredibly bright, something you can’t get from lower brightness projectors. My favorite feature, though, is being able to watch movies during the day. I fully opened the blinds, and the projector was still crazy bright—perfect for camp when you don’t want to wait for it to get dark outside before turning on a movie.
But that’s not all. The N1 Ultra’s extreme versatility starts with its convenient carrying case, which is designed to protect the projector during travel. It also comes with an updated locking mechanism for easy setup. The projector itself has a premium design with multiple ports, like HDMI 2.1 (with eARC support), USB ports, and a headphone jack. The built-in 20-watt speakers deliver excellent sound with deep bass, thanks to Dolby audio and DTS decoding.
There are tons of built-in sensors, like 3D time-of-flight sensors and high-res cameras for its Flexi-Smart Adaptive System, which features instant autofocus, adaptive brightness, auto screen fitting, and smart object avoidance. It also includes instant gimbal-like display correction that seamlessly adjusts as you move the projector.
JMGO’s automatic keystone correction with zero manual fine-tuning makes the N1 Ultra truly special. This feature, combined with the industry-leading 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness, means you don’t sacrifice contrast or color accuracy. That’s why I can confidently say the JMGO N1 Ultra 4K is hands down, the best portable projector I’ve ever seen.
