Sorry Anker: JMGO now makes my favorite flagship portable projector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The N3 Ultimate is an excellent portable 4K projector that defeats moderate ambient light at severe placement angles and can rival more expensive home theater installations at night. After a few weeks of testing, I think the raw adaptability exhibited by the JMGO\u2019s N3 Ultimate<\/a> justifies its current $2,399 price ($500 off its $2,999 list).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Modern all-in-one projectors built around Google TV are already super accommodating when it comes to placement. Set one down on a living room table or campsite rock and it will begin searching for a screen or blank wall while avoiding obstacles to project a focused, color-corrected image that\u2019s properly aligned. But these techniques typically resort to digital optimizations that degrade image brightness, resolution, and responsiveness. To avoid this, it\u2019s always best to place a projector directly in front of the projection surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Optimizing image placement is fast, effective, and fun.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

JMGO\u2019s N3 Ultimate projector promises \u201clossless placement\u201d by mounting it on a motorized gimbal that rotates horizontally and vertically. That, combined with optical zoom and generous lens shift, increases off-center placement flexibility without resorting to digital trickery. You can even drag the image Wiimote-style to the exact spot you want it using the included remote control. Handy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The N3 Ultimate doesn\u2019t live up to all of its marketing hype, however. It\u2019s pitched as a 5800 ISO lumen projector that I found to be unwatchable in its brightest mode for reasons I will explain later. In modes you can actually use, you\u2019re getting about 4,600 ISO lumens, which drops to 3,000 ISO lumens if you want more accurate colors \u2014 that\u2019s noticeably brighter than Anker\u2019s Nebula X1 flagship<\/a> 4K portable running in comparable modes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even though the N3 Ultimate misses the advertised ceiling, its class-leading brightness and impressive picture could make this a television replacement for some.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
