| Both the the Iris Ultra and Iris Ultra Max appear virtually identical. |
JMGO is bringing its Iris projector series to global markets, and the company is aiming squarely at buyers who want big-screen gaming and home theater without sacrificing high refresh rates. The lineup includes two models: the Iris Ultra and the higher-end Iris Ultra Max. Both use RGB triple-laser light sources and a 0.47-inch DMD, and both are built around 4K resolution with a 120-Hz refresh rate.
A 4K/120Hz push for projector gaming
For years, projector fans have often had to choose between image size and high-frame-rate performance. JMGO is trying to change that with a dual-DLPC8545 processing architecture paired with its HyperPulse Actuator. According to the company, the actuator shifts 480 times per second to maintain full 4K detail at high frame rates.
That hardware is combined with variable refresh rate support, auto low-latency mode, and motion-smoothing processing. The target audience is clear: console gamers and action-movie viewers who have historically been stuck at 60Hz on projection setups. If the technology delivers, the Iris series could make large-screen gaming feel much more responsive.
Iris Ultra Max: more brightness, more contrast
The Iris Ultra Max sits at the top of the range. It is rated at 6,500 ISO lumens, compared with 4,500 ISO lumens for the standard Iris Ultra. It also offers 10,000:1 native contrast, while the Ultra is listed at 7,000:1.
Both projectors 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. Of course, only independent testing will determine how well these claims stand up in real-world use.

Setup, smart features, and Anti-RBE technology
Both Iris models include six-level dual-iris systems, automatic keystone correction, and autofocus. They also feature hardware-level Anti-RBE technology, which is intended to reduce the rainbow effect that can appear with RGB laser projection.
Possible image sizes range from 40 to 300 inches, giving buyers flexibility for different rooms. Both projectors run Google TV over Wi-Fi 6 and include two HDMI 2.1 ports. The Iris Ultra Max adds an AI-assisted gimbal, allowing for automated image positioning and screen fitting—a useful feature for anyone who wants a faster, more hands-off setup.
Pricing, pre-orders, and release dates
The Iris Ultra Max is currently listed at $2,999, reduced from its $3,499 list price. The Iris Ultra is priced at $1,899, down from $2,399. Both are available to pre-order through JMGO.
Shipping is scheduled to begin on October 19, 2026, for the Iris Ultra Max, followed by the Iris 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.
With the Iris Ultra and Iris Ultra Max, JMGO is making a strong play for the growing high-refresh 4K projector market. The specs look impressive on paper, but as with any projector launch, early reviews and independent testing will be the real test of whether these models live up to the hype.
