TL;DR

• JMGO launched the N3 Ultimate with up to 5,800 ISO lumens and a 4K triple‑laser system.
• It adds a 3‑in‑1 optical system, optical image correction, and AI spatial memory.
• Available now for $2,999 (early‑bird price $2,399 through May 13).

Brightness and Core Specs

The N3 Ultimate jumps to 5,800 ISO lumens, a significant increase from the previous N3’s 1,800 lumens. This level of brightness makes ambient‑light viewing much more feasible, pushing projectors from dedicated home‑theater rooms into everyday living‑room use.

Key specifications

• 4K triple‑laser light engine with a claimed 110 % BT.2020 color gamut.
• 20,000:1 contrast ratio.
• Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10.
• Gaming‑oriented features: low‑latency mode, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and refresh rates up to 240 Hz.
• Powered by a MediaTek MT9679 chipset, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage.
• Runs on Google TV, providing native apps, Chromecast support, and Google Assistant integration.

Placement and Optical System

The original N3 already offered flexible placement options such as a gimbal‑style stand, autofocus, keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and optical zoom. The N3 Ultimate expands on this with a 3‑in‑1 optical system that combines:

• Lens shift
• Optical zoom (0.88 × to 1.7 ×)
• Rotating gimbal

These features allow the projector to maintain a correctly sized and positioned image even when the installation isn’t perfectly aligned. Unlike most projectors that rely on digital keystone correction—often sacrificing sharpness or brightness—the N3 Ultimate’s optical image correction preserves image quality by handling adjustments optically.

AI‑Powered Spatial Memory

The projector includes AI‑driven spatial memory that can store multiple setup profiles for different walls or surfaces. When the projector is moved or the viewing position changes, it can instantly recall the saved image size, placement, and even app preferences, eliminating the need to re‑configure each time.

Pricing and Availability

• Standard price: $2,999
• Early‑bird price: $2,399 (available from April 23 through May 13)

The N3 Ultimate can be purchased directly from JMGO’s official website and on Amazon, with regional price variations possible.
