JMGO O3 – one of the cheapest UST projectors? The new model is shaping up to be a budget hit!

Calendar 12/8/2025

JMGO O3 – one of the most affordable UST projectors of 2025. Check out its MALC triple-laser system, 110% BT.2020 coverage, 120 Hz VRR and a starting price of around 520 USD.

JMGO does not slow down. After the premiere of the compact O2S Ultra with a record short throw, the manufacturer presents another offering – JMGO O3, a more affordable ultra-short-throw model. Although it is slightly less equipped than its "big brother," it retains key technologies and could become one of the cheapest USTs on the market.

A quick throw, ideal for small rooms

JMGO O3 maintains the UST character: Throw 0.18:1 – 100 inches is achieved from about 20 cm from the wall. This is somewhat less impressive than 0.16:1 in the O2S Ultra, but still a great result in this price class.

1080p, lower brightness, but ultra-compact size - In this version, the manufacturer 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 can be taken with you practically anywhere.

Triple MALC laser and premium class colors - Despite the budget price, the O3 does not compromise on image quality:

  • MALC triple-laser

  • 100 percent BT.2020? No – 110 percent!

  • Delta E < 1 – declared great accuracy

  • Contrast: 10,000:1

  • MEMC for smoother motion

  • AI enhancing blacks

  • Wall Color Adaption – works well even on colored 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

In the global version, integration with Google TV is expected.

Gaming? It has 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 - On board, we will find:

  • 20-watt audio system

  • dual speakers

  • Master Sound tuning

  • support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Given its small size, it promises to be quite decent.

  • a compact build – and all of this at a price that is simply surprising.
