With 3,500 ANSI lumens, the N1S maintains its brightness without compromising its 1600:1 FOFO contrast ratio and 110% BT.2020 gamut coverage. I saw this first-hand, noting its vivid coloration and detail while testing on UHD footage of birds, coral reefs, and big jungle cats. With 4K content, individual feathers, scales, and hairs were discernible even from 14 feet away with a 150-inch projection.
The brightness intensity of the N1S adjusts automatically based on the lighting in its environment, but as with many projectors, you’ll get the best results when running it in a dim room. During my testing in the dedicated viewing area of our lab, I modulated the rheostat of our ambient ceiling LEDs to see how truly ambient light affected the N1S’s picture. As it turns out, it didn’t affect it much at all.

In that low-light environment, dark scenes featured deep blacks and detailed shadows — not equivalent to that of an OLED screen of course, but convincing enough. Simply shutting the door to the testing room so no exterior light could creep in made a notable difference in whether the projection’s full border was crisp and visible.
Out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the N1S automatically adjusted its focus and keystone. With multiple time-of-flight (ToF) sensors running on the JMGO-developed Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control (MALC 2.0, in this case) and triple-color laser optics, I’ve never seen a more instantly appreciable picture quality from a projector.
Loading times were speedy with the N1S being powered by a MediaTek MT9629 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. Those advanced ToF sensors, by the way, also allow for viewing Blue-Ray 3D videos. JMGO even has a bundle option
