Experience with JMGO: My first order of the JMGO N1S 4K was, according to JMGO, the first version of their product and had awful light spill (this is light that's beyond the border of the image and looks like a halo of light). This was already quite disappointing since it's frustrating that they would continue to sell the old version when a newer version is available. They told me to return the old one and re-order (no guarantee of getting the newer version. Luckily, I did receive the newer version which basically covers the lower part of the lens to reduce the light spill. Unfortunately the light spill was still visible with the newer version. While the projector has great image quality, this light spill completely removes you from the experience, especially when you're watching a darker scene and all you can see is a line visible underneath the image. The product page also blatantly claims that the rainbow effect is resolved but it is not, it is quite visible as another reviewer has mentioned in another review on amazon. I am not sensitive to it and own other DLP projectors but the N1S 4K really has it in a bad way. JMGO claimed to me that they are a small business which is also not true, they are a large player in the projector space. Overall my experience with JMGO has been less than stellar, and while the projector has a nice image, it is marred by strong rainbow effect, strong dithering (this looks like red laser ants running across the screen), and terrible light spill even in the newer upgraded unit. Considering all of this, I would not want to deal with JMGO in case I need to use their warranty and I would recommend another brand. UPDATE: New unit also has light spill despite their updated version. Also if you plan on returning this, be prepared to wait for a month to get your money back since this has to be returned to the US and has to go through customs clearance which could take a very long time. Currently waiting on two refunds both stuck at clearance.

I previously had and N1S pro and was unhappy with it. Needless to say I sent it back during the return window and I said I wouldn't buy another projector from JMGO, however when I saw the specs and the price on the N1S 4K I had to at least give it a try, and man I'm glad I did because this perfect balance of resolution, brightness, price, and portability. After having the N1S 4K for about a week now I'm extremely pleased. Pros: 1. Packs a punch with brightness 1100 ISO lumens(1375 ANSI) makes a usable picture even in moderately lit conditions. 2. It's much smaller than the N1S pro (around the same size as the XGIMI Halo series). 3. Has a 1/4 20 mount on the bottom to easily mount it to most standard tripods and projector ceiling mounts. 4. Has built-in Google TV OS and allows Native Netflix app to be used without workarounds and in full 4K resolution. 5. Has very decent audio quality with duel speakers that produce enough volume to fill a normal sized family room with out sounding tinny or distorting. Cons: 1. Google TV OS can be laggy at times, but not all the time. 2. No backlight on the remote control 3. No optical zoom or lense shifting. (But is to be expected at this size and price point. 4. Probably not the best choice for a more permanent installation as there are better brighter options for a true home theater projecter that doesn't need to be as portable as this. 5. Lacks an internal battery. I would have like to have seen at least a modular option that would have attached somehow to the base. You can however use adapter to be able to use this with a power bank. Overall if you want a really great and bright portable projector that comes without any major caveats, then I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMEND THIS UNIT!!!

Ok, this was my first 4K projector, and I'm very much willing to give it 5 stars. FYI, for those maybe a bit serious with their setup, this might not apply, since my review is based on someone that upgraded from a very small portable 1080p projector, still, it was worth a 5 for me as most cons are negligible. PROS -Once you press the power button on the remote, it turns on almost immediately (my last projector used to load for about 10-20 seconds). -Image auto adjusts, focus and keystone (my last projector didn't). -The remote is Bluetooth (my last one wasn't). -You could point it up the ceiling (I watch it while lying down on my bed). -Audio is not bad, though I’m not really an audiophile, so my standards aren’t that high. -Very bright for an at home use, (it's bright enough even at the lowest level, at least for my use case, bedroom, all lights turned off). -There’s a carrying case included, but overall, the case could be a little bit smaller. -The fan is very quiet. -Google TV, so multiple apps are already usable from the start. CONS -The remote has that matte rubber texture that I’m sure will peel off or look ugly after a few years of touching. -Media controls are a little weird, there’s no fast forward, rewind button when I’m playing videos from an SSD or on YouTube. -The remote isn’t backlit, so I usually have to turn on a light if I’m looking for a specific button, but I’m getting used to just feeling for the buttons. -I point it to the ceiling, and the ports are at the back, so the HDMI cable hits the base or the table if I tilt the projector too far up. -No USB C port, and it would be amazing if power can be provided from USB C as well. -I’d like some additional color options if possible. -No internal battery

Oh boy. Do yourself a favor and buy this! I'm not sponsored and I paid full price, but man is it worth every penny. Super compact, lightweight and portable. Excellent picture quality, brightness and colors. The UI is fairly snappy, except for when you have a 4k HDR video playing it does slow down a bit with menu inputs. The fan noise is extremely quiet, and actually nonexistent a good part of the time. The speakers are decent, not amazing but certainly fine for what it is. I previously bought the Dangbei nano and despite all the glowing reviews on that thing I was extremely underwhelmed. 1080p just looks absolutely terrible these days and I can't go back to it. This JMGO knocks the socks off that Dangbei and it's not even close. The Dangbei is being returned and I'm sticking with this JMGO.

Pros: --- Price: There isn't any 4k tripple laser projector in the market at under 1k. --- Colors: The best I've seen so far, can rival any large screen TV. --- Gimbal Design: Adds to the projector's charm and portability as you don't need extra stands. Also comes with a carrying box making it easy to take this 4.4lb cinema on the go. --- Overall wow factor: Great design, build quality, on the go projector that can produce amazing 4k, deep colors and high contrast pictures at an affordable price. Cons: --- Brightness: Ok for 100" images in dark or dim lit rooms but feels totally washed out as indoor lights are tunred on. I found Danbei Atom projector at a lower price point to be much brighter. This a BIG issue as casual viewing happens in moderate lighting. --- Sound: While sound is good enough for casual watching for cinema like feel you'll need external speakers.
