JMGO does not slow down. After the launch of the compact O2S Ultra with a record short throw, the manufacturer presents another option – JMGO O3, a more affordable ultra-short-throw model. Although it is slightly less well-equipped than its “older brother,” it retains key technologies and may become one of the cheapest USTs on the market.
A brief overview, ideal for small spaces
JMGO O3 maintains the UST character: Throw 0.18:1 – you get 100 inches from about 20 cm from the wall. This is slightly 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 has focused on mobility - and you can feel it.
Resolution: 1080p
Brightness: 1,400 ISO lumens
Dimensions: 250 × 219 × 107 mm
Weight: 2.4 kg
This is a projector that you can take with you practically anywhere.
Triple MALC laser and premium-class colours - Despite its budget price, the O3 does not compromise on image quality:
MALC triple-laser
100 percent BT.2020? No - 110 percent!
Delta E < 1 – claimed 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 is HDMI 2.1 and VRR up to 120 Hz - This is not a typical budget projector — the presence of:
2 × HDMI 2.1
VRR 120 Hz
makes the O3 an interesting choice for gamers with limited space.
Sound with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X - Onboard, we will find:
20-watt audio system
dual speakers
Master Sound tuning
support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
For such a small device, it promises to be very decent.

JMGO O3 is a projector that could significantly shake up the UST segment. It offers:
laser MALC technology,
excellent colours,
automatic configuration,
VRR 120 Hz,
compact design – 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.
