Summary
Preorders for JMGO’s Iris Ultra Max opened outside China at $2,999, with the 4K Google TV projector due to ship on October 19 before rising to $3,499.
A new dual-iris optical system is the headline feature, which JMGO says delivers 10,000:1 native contrast by controlling light scatter more aggressively than a single iris.
The all-in-one model also pairs a triple-laser light engine rated at 6,500 ISO lumens with 4K 120Hz playback, Dolby Vision HDR, VRR and ALLM to target sports and gaming use.
A motorized pan-and-tilt gimbal, 0.88–1.7:1 optical zoom and V±130% and H±53% lens shift are aimed at flexible placement without sacrificing optical image quality.
The launch lands as brighter 4K 120Hz projectors become more common ahead of IFA 2026, though real-world reviews will test whether peak brightness avoids color distortion issues seen in some earlier models.
