    For some reason I continually refer to the "XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro" as the "XGIMI MoGo 3" in the video. It is in fact the "MoGo 3 Pro". Sorry about that.
    Edit: It also appears that the $599 price on the BENQ GV50 was a 30 day introductory sale price. The price is now $799. I'll be watching for sales and will post a community message if/when it goes back down to $599.

      bro if I had any idea you were going to do this test I would have recommended the Optoma ML1080-ST. Although it's not battery powered and there's no android based OS, If you're just looking for an almost pocket sized tiny portable projector with ridiculous brightness and image quality for its size... that one should be nearly impossible to beat.

      I’m really confused about watching 3D content. I recently bought the JMGO N1S Ultra but 3D doesn’t work (I bought the glasses as well). Do I need an external Blu-ray player to watch 3D content? Having trouble finding an answer. Thanks is advance!

      @@TristanEdwards-i2h You need to be watching 3d content. You can find some on youtube (ua-cam.com/video/ydwPjrKM86A/v-deo.html). The format will be side by side (SBS), or Top and Bottom (TB). Select 3D, pick the format type, and turn on your glasses.

I wanted to go with the JMGO N1 but it was so out of my budget. GV50 is on pre-sale here in AU so I pre-ordered one! It was an overwhelming decision but I am treating myself! Your review came just in time, trust me, if your video hadn't been out, I wouldn't have bought a projector given my budget, you convinced me to get my first one! and I can't wait to show it to my family too!!

    Another video which I will refer people on Reddit to take a look at over and over and over and over. Really solid one Rob. I appreciate your hard work on these videos, a lot. Interested in seeing a video with a serious look and comparison of the TK710 to the others which are out there. Things are pretty darn exciting. Like that you pointed out the use of a gimbal on these models.
    If you do some of the lifestyle models, make sure to point out non-removable gimbals which may make ceiling mounting a challenge for those looking. Also awesome to know what has zoom on it for better placement. Hopefully you get the new Valerion Vison Master to give a serious test to with the competition. Keep up the great work! Always getting better for sure.

    Wow. AMAZING COMPARISON VIDEO! Every word worthwhile, and your final summary was consistent and drew intuitive conclusions. The side by side testing with GV50 running the comparison definitely highlighted the benefits of the other contenders. There's clear competition between various models for various uses. I feel that I have a better understanding of all the various lighting considerations, and why they say specs alone don't give you the full picture of how each spec plays off each other. The AI picture technology is really impressive and it would be nice to see more models use this. Thanks again!

    A couple suggestions:
    all things being equal I like the raw performance data table!
    However, since this is a "portable" projector review shouldn't weight and volume be included as a factor? As some of us will be dragging these between rooms and putting them in backpacks.
    I'd also like to see a "value" ranking --- IE cost for performance. Some of these being compared are double the price of others.
    Again great work!

    20:25 this is SUCH an underrated metric and I know I sound like a broken record here but I think it should be in the top 5 most important specs for every projector not just portable ones. Most enthusiasts obsess over brightness and contrast but IMHO those are not the most useful or important specs (again just IMHO).
    My top 10 "game changer" specs for projectors in order of most to least importance will always be: 1) fan noise, 2) brightness uniformity, 3) focus uniformity, 4) Image/color accuracy, 5) power consumption, 6) lamp life hrs, 7) Throw ratio, 8) Contrast ratio, 9) Native resolution, 10) ANSI lumens.

    Just an FYI. I got the Cinebeam Q and found out that there is a power saving mode on it which lowers the brightness and drops the noise level of the unit. It definitely makes it dimmer, but I switched from Cinema to Standard picture mode and found it to be quite usable on my 110" Silver Ticket screen. The drop in noise was definitely appreciated. I have paired it with my generic Bluetooth Speaker and did not see any audio lip sync issues when streaming from my Plex server. I will call that a win considering how lousy the internal speaker is. My iPhone actually does have better audio than that projector does.

    Great review! I'm wondering if every N1s unit has a light flare next to upper right corner of the projected image, visible only in dim room with dim image. It's a bit annoying on a large white wall, when the image brightness goes down. Had it checked in two units, same effect (although the intensity might have been different). So far, solved with a bit of tape just at the border of the lens... don't love the look of it.

    Thank you so much for your trustful no sponsered reviews! I'm just having some doubts on the JMGO projectors, as there is a LOT of different models and prices. For instance, in your video the NS1 it's a lot better than the N1 in picture quality and brightness. However i'm seeing a different model of the "N1" on amazon (the N1 "PRO" 1080p) and they claim that have 1500 lumens and 1600:1 contrast (more than even the N1S 4K!) for 900€. There is a lot more N1/N1S models (Ultra, Ultimate, Pro, etc) so I'm a lil bit lost here. I would love to see a comparison or guidance about all this jmgo models. Right now the amazon link you provided for the N1S has a price of 1800$ and not the 999$ you said in the video. So I guess they rised the price again, besides of course one can still find it for 850€ on AliExpress. In any case Blackfriday will change all this rankings again, so I would love to have some guidance for which of aaaaall this JMGO projector to buy soon! ;)

    I gotta say your reviews are excellent. I wish I would've found this video sooner. I am new to projectors and ended up falling into the hype of the cinebeam Q. At first, I really liked it as it fit many of my current needs, and I really had nothing else to compare it to. The deal was good enough with the free Bluetooth speaker promo and a 16% cashback offer with my credit card. I was willing to forgive some of the short comings like the abysmal audio, because I planned on using headphones or external audio. It also seems like such a wasted opportunity to not use the 2 side bumpouts (that already look like speaker grills) to house better audio. The remote issue, however, I can't forgive. It just blows my mind that they were willing to sacrifice such a key aspect of functionality. I hadn't even considered your point about the projector being inoperable if it's directed at the ceiling! The side-by-side side picture quality tests were the final straw for me. I was under the impression that this was the highlight of this projector, but the results are undeniable. It's such a shame that such a compact, beautiful machine was let down in so many key areas. With the respectable contrast and resolution specs hopefully future versions, if there is one, can be remedied with better software and design. Luckily I am still within the return window, so I will be able to send this back. I may change projector categories and go with the C1 based on your recommendations and the decent sales at the moment. If Im patient enough to wait for your video in October, I may spring for one of the C2 versions. I'm now subscribed and can't wait for more of your reviews. Thanks again for all the effort to educate!

    Thank you!!

    I do have a small question to you and the people in the audience as well. I would like to try my chance with the JMGO N1S or with BenQ GV 50 to get a good picture quality out of them, I just am unsure about what kind of projector screen I should use them with to get the best picture quality. Is there any recommendation out there? :)

  • @McMauldasch
    @McMauldasch Місяць тому

    Great tests as always! Just a few things I want to add to the Cinebeam Q which I picked up lately for 700€.
    It actually has 3 different brightness/fan speed modes. It's under Support -> Energy Saving in the menu (don't ask me why). I think medium brightness is more than enough for a fairly dark room and the fan is pretty quiet when you turn the brightness down a bit.
    On the lowest setting, the fan is nearly silent, but highlights and dynamic range suffer a bit.
    I use it mainly in the gaming mode for the better latency and I adjusted the colors a bit. Color accuracy is now spot on and matches my MacBook screen very well.
    I know it's not optimal, but I'm just projecting on a white wall.
    Personally, I can also notice the sharpness difference between 1080p and 4k even on a white wall at ~80 inch diagonal. 4k was actually the main reason I went for this projector (and its beautiful design, but that's subjective).

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Місяць тому +1

      $700ish seems like a much more reasonable price for that machine. I still don't understand why they put such a terrible speaker in a portable projector and why they used an IR remote with a single IR receiver. Those two shortcomings basically make it a non-starter for me.

    the Hisense C1 triple laser seemed to get a lot of praise. At under 1400 dollars I would really appreciate someone who visits this you tube sharing a professional view. I went through 5 bulbs with my last projector which added $1600 to the cost of that unit and degradation of picture as each bulb slowly died. So for me, That already makes laser projectors the cheapest choice over the life of any projector.
