JMGO has introduced the N1 Pro and N1 Ultra, a new pair of projectors that are Chinese exclusives for the time being. JMGO has not acknowledged either model on its global social media channels, so we suspect neither are ready for release outside China just yet. If that does ever happen, expect JMGO to seek crowdfunding through platforms like Indiegogo before eventually bringing the projectors to Amazon.
According to JMGO, the N1 Pro and N1 Ultra utilize Bonfire OS and Leica optics. However, the pair offer different peak brightnesses and resolutions. Specifically, while the N1 Pro peaks at 1080p and 3,200 ANSI lumens, the N1 Ultra reaches 4K and 4,000 ANSI lumens. Both projectors rely on 0.47-inch DMD chips though, meaning that the N1 Ultra cannot display 4K natively.
Regardless, the N1 Pro and N1 Ultra offer 20 W speaker systems, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, plus HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The pair’s HDMI 2.1 port may only meet the older HDMI 2.0 standard, which can now be marketed as HDMI 2.1. Arguably, one of the biggest selling points with either projector is their built-in stands, which should make it easy to reposition them as needed. JMGO states that both projectors can be rotated 360° within their stands while also providing 135° of height adjustment. Currently, the N1 Pro retails for CNY 6,499 (~US$932), with the N1 Ultra coming in at CNY 8,999 (~US$1,291).
