The Chinese brand JMGO has officially unveiled its new projector O2S Ultra, described as the “smallest laser TV in the world” – and indeed, its specifications are impressive. The manufacturer claims it is the projector with the shortest throw ratio on the market, at just 0.16:1.
What does this mean in practice? The device can project a 100-inch image from just 6.6 inches (about 17 cm) away from the wall or screen. And if you move it a bit further back – you’ll achieve up to 150 inches.
Brightness, colours and image technology
Inside the casing sits the three-laser MALC 3.0 system, offering brightness of 3600 ISO lumens. Colours? Surprisingly wide coverage of 110% of the BT.2020 colour space, native contrast of 4000:1 and dynamic up to 3,000,000:1. JMGO promises that every colour is reproduced with maximum precision – even in a well-lit room.
The projector supports 4K resolution and HDR10, and the smart system is powered by Google TV. So, we have access to a full set of applications – Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Hulu are available immediately upon startup.
For Gamers and Movie Buffs
Two HDMI 2.1 ports allow you to connect consoles or media players. One of them supports eARC, so you can easily connect a soundbar or amplifier. The low latency mode is perfect for gaming in 4K.
On the other hand, for those who prefer a ready-made audio solution – it features Dynaudio 2×20 W speakers with support for Dolby Audio and DTS HD.
Intelligent features
The setup is fully automated: autofocus, keystone correction, fit-to-screen and special software that can correct the image even on an uneven surface. The Bluetooth remote responds to voice commands and allows control of playback.
Price and Availability
The projector is available for pre-order in the American and Canadian markets, with a global launch expected shortly after.

JMGO O2S Ultra is one of the most compact and modern UST (Ultra Short Throw) projectors to have been created so far. It combines powerful brightness, excellent colours, 4K HDR, Google TV, and Dynaudio sound – all in a device that can be placed literally just a few centimetres from the wall. If you’re looking for a minimalist home cinema without compromises – this could be the equipment that surprises you.
Want to see how it performs in practice? JMGO promises that the first units will reach customers as early as next month.
