  • 1,800 ISO Lumens, 4K UHD and 110% of the BT.2020 color space
  • Automatic calibration and correction
  • $1,099 till 31 December

JMGO's new 4K triple laser projector, the N3 4K, delivers a very impressive specification for a pretty affordable price: for an introductory period it's down from $1,399 to an early bird $1,099. It'll go up to full price on 31 December.

That makes it an interesting competitor to some of the best projectors around, such as the BenQ GP520 and the Hisense PX3-Pro.

With a specified 1,800 ISO lumens of brightness, 110% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut, 4K resolution and a typical contrast ratio of 1,600:1 the numbers look good, and the N3 4K projector's 1.0 - 1.3x optical zoom enables it to project an 85-inch picture from 1.9 to 2.5m away; 150 inches can be projected from as little as 3.3m. The maximum recommended projection size is 300 inches.

JMGO N3 4K: key features

The heart of this new projector is JMGO's proprietary MALC 3.0 triple laser engine, which promises professional-grade picture quality with a color depth of 10 bits (10.7 billion colors), dE < 0.85 color accuracy and true 4K resolution.

The N3 4K comes with dual 10W speakers with a frequency response down to a low 43Hz, and it has support for both Dolby Audio and DTS-HD decoding.

There's one-click auto-correction for focus, keystone and screen fit with smart object avoidance, and the gimbal supports 360º horizontal rotation and 160º vertical adjustment.

The projector has earned the CTA 4K UHD Professional Certification, along with SGS Low Speckle A+ and SGS Low Chromatic Aberration & Ghosting A+ certifications, and it's powered by Google TV with support for Google Assistant and Google Cast.

The JMGO N3 4K is available now in North America and will also be available with a bundled inflatable screen in US Costco branches before the end of the year.
