JMGO Iris series brings 4K 120Hz projectors to global markets

JMGO is bringing its Iris projector series to global markets, combining 4K resolution with a 120-Hz refresh rate. The lineup comprises the Iris Ultra and higher-end Iris Ultra Max, which both utilize RGB triple-laser light sources and a 0.47-inch DMD.

Both units use a dual-DLPC8545 processing architecture paired with what JMGO calls a HyperPulse Actuator, which the company claims shifts 480 times per second to hold full 4K detail at high frame rates. This is paired with variable refresh rate support, auto low-latency mode, and motion-smoothing processing, features aimed at console gamers and action-movie viewers who have historically been limited to 60Hz projection.

The Ultra Max is the brighter of the two, rated at 6,500 ISO lumens versus the 4,500 ISO lumens of the Ultra. It also offers 10,000:1 native contrast, compared with 7,000:1 on the Ultra, while both are said to cover 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut and claim Delta E color accuracy of 0.7 or lower. HDR, Dolby Vision, MEMC, VRR and gaming modes are supported, including Dolby Vision playback at 4K/120Hz. Only independent testing will determine how well all these claims stand up to scrutiny. 

Both models feature six-level dual-iris systems, automatic keystone correction and autofocus, alongside hardware-level Anti-RBE technology intended to reduce the rainbow effect associated with RGB laser projection. Possible image sizes range from 40 to 300 inches. Both models run Google TV over Wi-Fi 6 and have two HDMI 2.1 ports. The Ultra Max also has an AI-assisted gimbal, allowing for automated image positioning and screen fitting.

The Iris Ultra Max is currently listed at $2,999, reduced from its $3,499 list price, while the Iris Ultra is $1,899, down from $2,399. Both are available to pre-order via JMGO, with the Ultra Max scheduled to begin shipping October 19, 2026, followed by the Ultra on October 26. Pre-order customers will also receive accessories, including a floor stand or ceiling mount, 3D glasses and an 8K HDMI cable.
