Ultra-short-throw projection is usually associated with laser TVs which come with a 4-digit price... seems that JMGO is a new player in the gloabl projector market but they managed to bring the price down to 3 digits. I was pondering whether to spend $2000 on an UST laser TV until I saw their crowdfunding campaign. Despite minor issues I think this model is worth a try as an entry-level ust projector.
Good price but needs a lot of work re. Codecs and widevine cert 1. At 100inches a minimum of FHD is a must. If they can sort that out it would be a great buy. Thanks again for another outstanding review. 🍻
This is a very good device. Reasonable 1080p, ok sound quality, but what I am really impressed about and am hoping more for is the actual size of the unit. I believe UST/Laser Tvs are simply are a far better and more practical alternative to large TVs that take up too much physical space, require drilling into and setting on to walls and too delicate/heavy to be portable. IF Ultra Short throw projectors/Laser TVs can + shrink in size + improve the in built speakers + advance auto/manual-keystone and have both auto/manual focus + shorten the throw distance requirements further UST/Laser TVs would outsell TVs.
This looks promising, I was looking at short throw projectors, but they start at £1000, and probably a couple thousand pounds if you actually want a good one. This is priced very keenly and looks good. I'm not to worried about the cons since I personally use a HTPC.
There's no reason why you would buy this projector (plus you probably need a good quality screen) over a number of 4K HDR TVs for similar prices. 1080p is too low for a projector at this price, unless it's portable as a travel companion (e.g. Xiaomi compact projector). At 70" or above you really need 4K. If you can't afford the Xiaomi/Fengmi short throw 4K projectors then just stick to a TV.
@@Avantime The point here is not about 4K resolution, it's about the UST in a projector. Usually, this technology usually comes in laser TV and costs a few grand. The fact that they manage to offer at this price, you shouldn't complain.
I'm not knowledgeable about projectors, but at around 3:50 I see some lines moving from down up - Is this just from the camera? I'm guessing the room has to be dark and it's bad if you've got the lights on or if it's facing the sun?
@@fhwolthuis It's just to look like they've got something (bloatware). Most modern things have functions that you don't use, for example my car has brakes, I've never figured out what to do with them and my mudic player has a reduce volume function, I can't imagine why.
Hi can I ask do i have to set the auto and manual keytone everytime i restart the projector..I have this issue and it always out of alignment when I turn off and on again. Any advice. Thanks..
They should just ditch the Android OS and put the money into getting native 4K through HDMI. I would much rather use a HDMI TV stick than using the build-in Android OS, especially as it's not exactly portable.
I don't agree that the sound is so great. It's basic. There's a lot of movies that I play that need more sound. I have my appleTV plugged into the HDMI port and I would like to have better sound. I tried plugging in an external speaker (s/pdif port) and it doesn't seem to play through it while trying to stream. Any ideas on how to hook up speakers to this?
led technology, for light sources, is the worst, weak, not durable, that's why the big ones like, epson, nec, optoma, viewsonic, panasonic, sharp, etc, have never used that cheap and disposable technology, they use hybrid , led-laser

hi, is there any update for this UST projector?
I am an early backer for the O1, this video reassures I've backed a promising project!

Totally agree it needs that widevine lvl 1 cert
Nvidia shield will resolve a lot of the software problems

Those like scan lines are just on camera
You keep mentioning vlc for codecs, why didn't you install vlc to see if it made any difference?
What's the point of building a device like this without widevine L1?
Just plug in something that does. It does, after all, have two perfectly good HDMI ports.
@@inkysteve I thought of that but what's the point of those apps
It’s adequate for casual use, widewine cost money

I could plugin my €45 Mi box S. But I rather have a (smaller) large screen TV which much better screen.
Can it project larger than 100’” , maybe 120’’ if move it further away from the screen / wall.
Can you sign in into apps with Google Services like RUclips or RUclips TV?
😬😬😬
some reason why the big ones, epson, nec, optoma, have never used, led technology, for their light sources
You make really good videos
Tried buying from alibaba, now awaiting shipment. The seller said no English menu on the device sent by factory. Should I be worry of fake machine?
With the higher lumens, how does out hold up to longevity from burn-ins?
for $700? close to an Epson 3LCD price, the best available image qualtiy projector
But it's not UST projector :(
@@reymel7 short throw projectors only good for portability and not much else
@@zodiacfml exactly what most of us need now for a home theater experience. I would rather buy your projector for office use.
Hey Mate! Could you please get your hands on the Pro version of this and do a similar review? It will be much appreciated. Cheers!
If I can I will.
Is the Pro 4k ?
Hi can I ask do i have to set the auto and manual keytone everytime i restart the projector..I have this issue and it always out of alignment when I turn off and on again. Any advice. Thanks..
interesting design lol. can you please review Lenovo yoga pad pro (13 inch ) iPad Pro 12.9 challenger ?
Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro, I bought one from Banggood but it has yet to ship out.
@@Techtablets global shipping in chaos. At least two week delay. I look forward to your review. Please test Google framework .
I’m having problems with setting up my gaming console. I have the display but no audio. And i notice i have no gaming mode settings. Plz help

that cost money. Android OS is free.
@@DasBeefi Are you telling me a HDMI port with 4K support costs more than an ARM SoC, RAM and storage needed to run Android OS?
Consider reviewing dell inspiron 15 with i7 11370H/i5 11300H and MX450
Preferably with i7 11370H one
And ZenFone 8 bro
@@seansmith6473 other people have already reviewed zenfone 8,

@@suntzu1409 really nobody yet? But I want Chris to review ZenFone 8 also he can do both

you can also try XGIMI AURA
Sure if they would send me one I’ll review it
I see some distortion at the top, is that because of the wall?
Yes my wall is hand plastered so not perfectly flat. I'll get a projector screen next review
@@Techtablets No prob just wanted to know since the halo projector review didnt have that
Do you have the JMGO U2 International Version too please?!
what about the gesture controls?
Not enough lumens in 2021
The O1 Pro has 1200, but agreed it should be brighter however I didn't have any issues with it in my studio with the blinds closed.
Can the device be hung upside down to throw from a ceiling mount?
Yes it can and then you flip the output in settings.
I want Much more lumens
Would be nice it it was 1200 but that's the Pro model.
@@Techtablets Pro listed as 1400 - could be nice to see a review of that one.
@@Techtablets i think my benq w1300 should even have more. These led projectors need to be stronger
No mention of how much daylight it can take? I mean, that's all anyone wants to know about these things and you skip it completely?
It's shown in the video with some ambient sunlight...
Anything over 43inch should have 4k resolution and 1080P on 100inch won't look good no matter what
you lack personal experience, to affirm that
So its a projector that cant play videos..
VLC player works for most files but yes it lacks codec support as shown they need to add more
@@Techtablets the 'product' is a work in progress.. great potential tho
It needs 4k bro otherwise no sale
If your want 4k get the jmgo U2
not really going with the flow, as far as the design for a short throw projector. lol
40cm? Lol
How many inches?
