![]() ![]() That might sound bright, but it can hardly hold up during the daytime. The projector boasts a 1,500 ANSI Lumen peak brightness (or 1,250 the company isn’t consistent with its marketing). It’ll automatically focus as well, and the image can digitally shrink down if you want a smaller picture and can’t just move the projector closer to the wall.įor its sticker price you’d expect an exceptional image, but alas, the JMGO O1 Pro isn’t consistently delivering it. The projector can automatically keystone the image if it’s not quite squared away. It’s a cinch to get an 80-inch picture or a 110-inch picture, whatever you want. The JMGO O1 Pro certainly fits that bill. It’s easy to square away and a few inches backward or forward can easily stretch the picture to fit. The promise of an UST projector is a big picture that’s easy to get - no messing around with where in the room you need to put the projector to get the image up on the wall in the right size. (Image credit: Mark Knapp) Picture quality Bass isn’t a standout aspect of the speakers, though, so the oomph factor could benefit from an external audio device. The projector’s speakers make up for its shortcomings somewhat, as they’re plenty loud for a 100 to 200-sq.-ft room without distorting too much as the volume pushes higher. Disabling CEC didn’t seem to create any problems, but a day later no sound was coming from any HDMI sources no matter how many settings we changed until we simply factory reset the device. Those HDMI ports support CEC, which can be convenient, but we have it frequently boot up our PS5 unintentionally. The ports are rounded out by both an optical and 3.5mm audio output. The USB ports can also be used for playing local content. If they’re fill with a pair of streaming sticks, the two USB ports on the back will help power them up. Though that makes the inclusion of just two HDMI ports a bit of a pain point. ![]() The projector is certainly better off using an external source. It doesn’t like rapid inputs, as one might do to change the volume, and it almost never works from more than 10 feet away, which is where a user would ostensibly sit while using a projector with a 110-inch picture. JGMO built an exciting remote control for the projector with a chic metal design and USB-C charging, but it turns out to be a bit of a pain. And if Xgimi hasn’t been able to get Netflix support on any of Android TV-powered projectors, we have even more doubts about JGMO’s ability to get proper support for apps. After installing Netflix and launching the app, we reach a Get Started screen that doesn’t allow any sort of interaction. Oftentimes buttons on the remote don’t do anything within an app, and the app store is somewhat suspect. While it provides the means of changing settings and switching HDMI inputs, even offering a PiP of the HDMI input before needing to commit to it, its best left at that. That proprietary Luna OS smart TV platform leaves much to be desired. Inside of that small frame, the JO1 is packing its LED-powered projection system, a set of 10-watt speakers, a smart TV platform, and the sensor it needs for automatic focus, keystone, brightness, and color adjustments as well as a front-facing camera that can be used for gesture controls (or easily taped over for anyone who’s not digging a camera staring at them all the time in their living room). While most UST projectors are content to take up a few square feet of space on an entertainment center, the JO1 is less than half the size of most of its competitors and looks like a little, silver blimp. The JO1 is unlike its contemporary ultra-short-throw projectors from first appearance. Projector, speakers, and smart OS in one package.(Image credit: Mark Knapp) Design and features ![]()
