Back in 2021, China’s JMGO has successfully launched a Kickstarter for a 4K tri-color laser TV. Now the company is heading to Indiegogo with a more compact plug-and-play laser projector called the N1 Ultra, built around a tri-color laser engine to promise “bright, lifelike” UHD visuals.
The N1 Ultra DLP projector outputs 4,000 ANSI lumens for daytime viewing and features an in-house Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control engine with a triple color laser light source suitable for up to 30,000 hours of use. According to JMGO, this translates to an image resolution of 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) with a maximum diagonal of 150 inches and a color depth of 10 bits. It supports BT.2020 color gamut and 110% HDR10, delivers up to 1,600:1 contrast shape, and also features digital zoom.
What is called modular laser stacking is reported to allow for “increased optical efficiency, smaller size, and better heat dissipation performance,” but diffuser setups and speckle reduction techniques allow laser speckle to be reduced to It reduces significantly and achieves uniform brightness.
The system’s processing brain is thanks to the MediaTek MT9629 system-on-chip, backed by 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6, Android TV 11 grants access to thousands of entertainment apps, Chromecast is cooked to accommodate screen sharing from mobile devices, Blu-ray players, Streaming devices, game consoles.

The N1 Ultra also features a built-in sound system developed at Dynaudio, featuring a pair of Dolby-certified 10W speakers that are also DTS decoded. Plus, there’s a headphone jack for private movie nights in shared homes.At 9.49 x 7.99 x 9.29 inches (24 x 20.2 x 23.5 cm) and 9.92 pounds (4.5 kg), it’s very portable, although it lacks an internal battery. , the user should place the box-type projector near the wall outlet.
Standing on an integrated 2-axis gimbal, it offers “stepless adjustment up to 135° vertically and 360° horizontally” for greater setup flexibility. It also has a 3D ToF sensor and a CMOS camera that works with image recognition algorithms to automatically adjust the projected image to match the brightness of the output to the ambient light, fit the image to the projector screen, Avoid obstacles such as light switches.
The N1 Ultra is currently raising production funds on Kickstarter. Pledges here start at just US$1,099 for expedited, but launch he’s US$1,169 if he doesn’t make it in time for the window. The usual crowdfunding caveats apply, but if all goes according to plan with the already-funded campaign, shipments are expected to begin in May. When general sales begin, the suggested retail price is expected to be $2,299.
