JMGO Iris Ultra Max 4K 120Hz projector with dual-iris contrast launches outside China at $2,999 preorder
↗
JMGO's Iris Ultra Max, a 4K 120Hz Google TV projector featuring a dual-iris system claiming 10,000:1 native contrast and 6,500 ISO lumens from a triple-laser engine, is now available for preorder outside China at $2,999 before an October 19th ship date.
The dual-iris optical design is an unusual mechanical approach to the long-standing contrast problem in projectors, and if it delivers, it could influence how projector optics are engineered. However, the author's warning about color distortion on JMGO's previous flagship at peak brightness means the specs alone don't guarantee usable output, early reviews will be critical.

A dual-iris system places two physical apertures at different points along the optical path to control light scatter and achieve 10,000:1 native contrast, a more aggressive approach than a single iris.
The projector outputs 6,500 ISO lumens from a triple-laser engine with 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision HDR support, specs that were breaking ground last year but are becoming standard at IFA 2026.
Preorders are $2,999 (list price $3,499) for an October 19th ship, and the unit includes a motorized gimbal, 0.88 to 1.7:1 optical zoom, and V±130% / H±53% lens shift for flexible installation.
