JMGO's Dual-Iris 4K Projector Brings 6,500 Lumens and 120Hz to Gamers Worldwide

The Iris Ultra Max, now available outside China, pairs a triple-laser engine with a new contrast-boosting optical trick.

JMGO has launched its Iris Ultra Max projector globally after debuting it in China. The standout feature is a new dual-iris system that places two physical apertures at different points in the optical path, which the company says squeezes out far more contrast than typical single-iris designs. JMGO claims a native contrast ratio of 10,000:1, a big number for projection tech, where washed-out blacks are usually the norm.

The unit also pumps out 6,500 ISO lumens via a triple-laser light source, making it bright enough to use with some ambient light in the room rather than requiring a fully dark home theater. For gamers, it supports 4K resolution at 120Hz, a meaningful spec since most projectors top out at 60Hz and introduce noticeable input lag. It runs Google TV for built-in streaming apps.

This continues a fast pace of brightness gains in all-in-one projectors, with 6,000 lumens considered cutting-edge just a year ago at IFA.

Why it matters: Projectors have long lagged TVs on contrast and refresh rate, making them a hard sell for competitive gaming or sports viewing. A genuinely bright, high-refresh, high-contrast all-in-one model narrows that gap and could push more buyers toward projectors as living-room centerpieces instead of large TVs.
