JMGO Iris Ultra Max 4K 120Hz Google TV Projector Launches Globally with Dual-Iris Contrast Boost

Quick Look

JMGO's Iris Ultra Max 4K 120Hz all-in-one Google TV projector is now available outside China, featuring a dual-iris system for 10,000:1 native contrast, 6,500 ISO lumens brightness, VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision HDR support, priced at $3,499 or $2,999 for preorders starting today with October 19 shipment.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

JMGO previously launched the N3 Ultimate projector, which suffered from color distortion at peak brightness, prompting caution about the new Iris Ultra Max until reviews are available.

JMGO’s 4K 120Hz Iris Ultra Max all-in-one Google TV projector is now available outside China. It gets its name from a new dual-iris system that lets it produce an impressive 10,000:1 native contrast, according to JMGO. It boosts the contrast — always an issue with projectors — by placing two separate physical apertures (irises) along different points of the internal optical path to control light scatter and brightness far more aggressively than a single iris can. It also promises to produce a very bright 6,500 ISO lumen image from its triple-laser light engine.

Last year at IFA, 6,000 lumens from an all-in-one projector was breaking new ground. At IFA 2026, it’s shaping up to be table stakes, alongside 4k imagery purring along at a smooth 120Hz for fast-moving sports and gaming. Just note that I found JMGO’s N3 Ultimate to be unwatchable at peak brightness due to color distortion — so best wait for the reviews on this one.

Like that previous flagship, the new Iris Ultra Max is mounted on a motorized pan-and-tilt gimbal for useful Wiimote-like control. That, combined with an 0.88–1.7:1 optical zoom and V±130% / H±53% lens shift, gives you unparalleled image placement options that also preserve optical image quality.

JGMO’s also tossing in VRR and ALLM to keep latency low and reduce tearing when gaming on the IRIS Ultra Max, with support for Dolby Vision HDR at 4K 120Hz. It will eventually list for $3,499, but that drops to $2,999 for preorders that begin today, ahead of an October 19th ship date.

Apple Vision Pro baseball broadcast feels immersive but isolating and impractical for regular fans

The author tested Apple Vision Pro to watch a Red Sox-Yankees MLB game in immersive VR, finding the technology visually impressive but hampered by the headset's weight, fixed dugout perspective, and inability to track outfield action. While offering novel close-up views of player rituals and dugout moments, the experience felt isolating and required constant switching to a traditional broadcast supplement, making it unsuitable for regular baseball viewing despite its novelty.

US Restrictions on Chinese Robotics and Drones May Fragment Global Market

In July and August, the US imposed tariffs and restrictions on foreign-made advanced robotic systems and drones, citing national security. These moves, part of a broader effort to limit Chinese technology in strategic industries, may not create a clean US-China split but instead fragment the global robotics market, with Chinese firms expanding in price-sensitive regions abroad while US and allied manufacturers compete in security-focused markets.
