JMGO isn't slowing down. After the launch of the compact O2S Ultra with a record short throw, the manufacturer presents another proposal – JMGO O3, which is a more budget-friendly ultra-short-throw model. While it is slightly less equipped than its "older brother," it retains key technologies and could become one of the cheapest USTs on the market.
Compact throw, ideal for small spaces
JMGO O3 maintains the UST character: Throw 0.18:1 – 100 inches can be achieved from around 20 cm from the wall. It’s a bit less impressive than 0.16:1 in the O2S Ultra, but still an excellent result in this price range.
1080p, lower brightness, but ultra-compact size - In this version, the manufacturer focused on mobility – and it shows.
Resolution: 1080p
Brightness: 1,400 ISO lumens
Dimensions: 250 × 219 × 107 mm
Weight: 2.4 kg
This is a projector you can take with you practically anywhere.
MALC triple laser and premium-class colours - Despite the budget price, the O3 doesn’t skimp on image quality:
MALC triple-laser
100 percent BT.2020? No – 110 percent!
Delta E < 1 – declared excellent accuracy
Contrast: 10,000:1
MEMC for smoother motion
AI enhancing blacks
Wall Color Adaption – works well even on coloured walls
This is a set of parameters rarely found in projectors of this price class.
Automatic configuration + AI assistant - The device will take care of the appropriate settings by itself:
autofocus
auto-keystone
size adjustment
obstacle avoidance
The global version is expected to integrate with Google TV.
Gaming? There’s HDMI 2.1 and VRR up to 120 Hz - This is not your typical budget projector — the presence of:
2 × HDMI 2.1
VRR 120 Hz
means the O3 could be an interesting choice for gamers with limited space.
Sound with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X - Onboard, we’ll find:
20-watt audio system
dual speakers
Master Sound tuning
support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
For such a small device, it looks quite decent.

JMGO O3 is a projector that could really shake things up in the UST segment. It offers:
laser MALC technology,
fantastic colours,
automatic configuration,
VRR 120 Hz,
a compact build – all at a price that is simply surprising.
If the global price does not significantly exceed the level from China, it will be one of the most attractive UST projectors on the market for those with limited space and budget.
