Third-party reviews

What customers like about JMGO IRIS Ultra

  • 4500 lumens keep the picture bright in a lit room.
  • A 1 ms input lag keeps controls responsive in games.
  • A 1.93 zoom and lens shift of 53 % sideways and 130 % up ease placement.
  • Variable refresh rate and 4K/120 Hz input suit gaming consoles.
  • Motorized zoom lets the picture size be set without moving the projector.
  • Chromecast built-in makes streaming simple.

What customers don't like about JMGO IRIS Ultra

  • At 6.95 kg it is hard to move between rooms.
  • At 275 mm high it takes up room on a shelf.
  • Two HDMI ports leave little room for a console, a box and a streamer.
  • Its 300 inch maximum size needs a large wall to show the full picture.

Verdict

A home cinema owner who games will like the JMGO IRIS Ultra, which pairs a large picture with fast response. Its 4500 lumens keep the picture bright with the blinds open, and the 1 ms input lag keeps controls responsive. The 1.93 zoom and lens shift, 53 % sideways and 130 % up, make placement much easier. The 25 W audio output, Wi-Fi and Chromecast built-in mean it can run without extra gear. The trade-off is weight and height: 6.95 kg and 275 mm high mean it needs a firm mount or stand. A minimum throw of 1 m lets it sit close to the wall. Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 4K/120 Hz input cover both films and fast games, and the 7000:1 contrast adds depth to dark scenes.
