Review from @HDTVTest
 

 

*In some of these reviews, the prototype machine used was an earlier version, built to test the compatibility of the operating system. These machines did not have full 3D hardware installed. Hence, these reviewers were unable to test and comment on the 3D features of the JMGO U2. 

The JMGO U2 features an attractive, futuristic silver design, intended to complement any living space. Its sleek, modern profile allows it to blend seamlessly with your home decor, while its unique, inverted cone speakers present a distinctive and memorable profile.
 
 
The unique inverted cone design was actually inspired by the outstretched hands of the E.T. original movie poster. This innovative design is not just eye-catching but also allows the speakers to better resonate, improving the acoustics of the device – a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
 
 
 
The JMGO U2 utilizes the industry-leading triple laser projection system to provide cutting-edge color reproduction. The U2 achieves 114% BT.2020 color gamut, 159% greater than the color standard required of IMAX movies, allowing you to distinguish even the subtlest colors while perfectly reproducing the stunning sights of the natural world. 
 
 
The best-in-class Wide Color Gamut (WCG) provides stunningly vibrant and true-to-life colors, so precise you can see the difference in lipstick shades at a glance, while also capturing the most breathtakingly colorful sunsets or iridescent dragonfly wings and flawlessly reproducing them in your own home. Bring a truly striking cinematic experience into your home, with the JMGO U2.
 
 
 
 
The JMGO U2 uses advanced XPR technology by Texas Instruments, for pixel-shifted 4K with 8.3 million distinct pixels. That means it’s capable of playing 4K video at a fraction of the cost of native 4K displays while maintaining the sharp, crisp look of high-resolution video. 
 
 
Take your home entertainment to the next level, with graphical fidelity so sharp you’ll feel like you’re right there in the action. Watching movies will be a whole new jaw-dropping experience with the U2 – you’ll be able to count the threads in Vader’s cape, or see the stubble on Thanos’ cheek!
 
*Note: Please switch to 4K for watching.
 
 
The JMGO U2 is perfect for home theaters, living rooms, or even offices,  and its limited lens-to-screen distances mean more obstructed views. The JMGO U2 uses ultra-short-throw technology and boasts a 0.25:1 throw rate. Place it just 9.4” from the wall for a stunning 100” projection.
 
And with such a short space required from the projector to the screen, you can enjoy crystal-clear picture quality, a cinema-standard 15000:1 contrast ratio, and an unrivaled 100” image size in any size room, all without having to worry about tricky layout or shadows obscuring your view.   
 
 
 
You won’t need a lightproof home theater to get the most out of the JMGO U2. It features a powerful lamp, capable of producing 3600 ANSI Lumens on an ALR screen (2400 ANSI lumens without screen), providing crisp and clear images even in daylight – without having to close the curtains or draw the blinds. 
 
 
 
 
Worried that your kids or elderly family members may struggle to make adjustments to the brightness level? Don’t sweat it! Using a built-in photosensitive camera, the U2 can automatically adjust the brightness of the screen according to the brightness of the ambient light. So no manual adjustment of brightness is needed, no matter what your surroundings are like.
 
 
 
Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation (MEMC) is a technology used to smooth out images and is especially useful in any situation when each frame counts, like action movies or when watching sports. Make even the fastest-moving images crystal-clear, so you can get the most out of every frame!
 
 
Finally, the U2 is also fully 3D compatible with the JMGO 3D glasses, available as an add-on. There is no more immersive or powerful viewing experience than watching something in 3D, and now you can do it any time you like, in the privacy and comfort of your own home!
 
 
 
The U2 isn’t just a crystal clear projector- it also features an amazing surround sound system built into the same device! Co-created with Dynaudio, the U2’s four powerful electromagnetic speakers earned dual certification from both Dolby Audio and DTS-HD, to ensure the absolute highest quality auditory experience. 
 
 
The U2 utilizes Omnidirectional Stereo Compensation Technology to create a full surround sound experience with deep, driving bass and perfect, clear highs. With a 2400cc ultra-large sound cavity, it elevates sound with exceptional clarity, detail, and dynamics at an impressive sensitivity. Fill your entire room with music or even podcasts, and enjoy an immersive, flawless sound experience no matter where you’re sitting.
 

If there’s a car driving across the screen, you can hear it transition from left to right as it speeds by. No matter what your audio demands, U2 delivers incredible surround sound to perfectly complete the home cinema experience.

 

The U2 also offers a number of features to help keep you feeling your best. The projector automatically stops playing when the built-in sensor detects that viewers are within 40 inches of the light source, so as to reduce the impact on your eyes.

Blue light reduction reduces the blue laser source light being emitted, reducing eye strain even after many hours of viewing, something particularly important for children and the elderly. This technique also minimizes the impact on your circadian rhythms, so watching a movie or show on the U2 won’t disrupt your normal sleep patterns.

The U2 also incorporates a smart temperature control system. It will automatically activate one or more of the five low-decibel built-in cooling fans, so even after running for hours, the U2 stays cool and quiet.

With fans that stay under 28 decibels, there will be no annoying sounds to distract you when the movie gets good – or to wake up the little ones if you decide to stream something all night. And laser projectors are more energy-efficient than traditional lamp projectors so you will have no trouble staying cool, calm, and collected with the U2.

JMGO U2 features Luna OS, connecting you to a world of premium entertainment. 

 

 

The JMGO U2 has unparalleled connectivity, with  2*HDMI (1 HDMI ARC), 1*Optical, 1*LAN, 1*Service, and 2*USB Ports allow plug-and-play connection to TV sticks like Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, or Chromecast, with ample connections left for cable TV boxes, video game consoles, or other devices. The U2 has everything you need for endless entertainment.

The easy-to-use JMGO APP completely replaces traditional remote controls, so you’ll never need to worry about digging through couch cushions to track down your lost remote control, ever again. And with a tap of the App, you can easily toggle between input channels, letting you switch from one console or device to another at the press of a button.

 

Need to cast from your laptop or mobile device? No problem. The U2 features Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless screen projection and supports iOS, Mac OS, Airplay and more. Play a file from your phone to your 100” screen at the push of a button – it’s that easy.

The best part of all? The U2 is insanely durable, with a 50,000-hour laser diode lifespan – vastly longer than CRT or lamp projectors. That’s enough to watch the entire Star Wars original trilogy 7,000 times! You’ll never need to replace a bulb again. Instead, spend less time fixing and maintaining your device, and more time enjoying it!

What’s the best way to get the most out of your U2 purchase? Make sure to grab the JMGO 100-inch Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen to bring out the absolute most in your projector. 

The perfectly smooth, even surface ensures you’ll always enjoy flawless picture quality, while the unique 8-layered structure uses multiple precisely calibrated reflective materials to reflect ambient light away from the user and reflect projected light towards the user, increasing gain by 50%!  

Better yet, you can use the screen as a compliment to your room’s ambiance by using the screen as a crisp clear picture frame for you to project photos, paintings, or illustrations. 
 

The JMGO 3D glasses use a DLP-Link chip for smooth image transition. The rechargeable glasses will last 45 hours on a full charge and will switch off automatically when not in use. With an ultra-lightweight frame of only 26g, enjoy your movies without feeling a burn on your nose bridge. 

For US backers, we recommend choosing the combo perk with an ALR screen. It’s the best deal of all since we are covering the shipping and customs fees for both the projector and ALR screen. For non-US backers, please choose the projector perk since the screen is currently not available due to logistics limitations. Contact the JMGO team at u2@jmgo.com for custom orders or larger quantities.

For US backers, you will be able to grab the add-ons (screen and 3D glasses) from the next page after you choose your preferred perk.  

Check the installation tutorial video below for the quick set-up of the projector and the screen. Just use the built-in guides and rubber holders to fix the projector position in place. It’s as simple as this. Set up once and never worry about it again. Power on to enjoy a perfect 4K 100-inch image.

According to the existing color gamut standards, we converted the color gamut values of U2 based on CIE1931. You can see that U2 provides a more rich and vivid color reproduction than other kinds of TV products on the market.

JMGO was established in 2011 and we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. Over the years, we’ve had many exciting R&D breakthroughs on screen size, resolution, and industrial design.

Today, JMGO has won more than 400 patents and design awards, and its products are trusted by hundreds of millions of families around the world.

And this time with U2, we aspire to democratize the UST Tri-color laser TV, bringing it to everyone at an affordable price. Especially during this pandemic, everyone is spending more time at home. We want to contribute by providing more bang-for-your-buck innovative home entertainment options that will enhance everyone’s quality of life. 

We’ve already entered into the mass production stage as verified by Indiegogo. Shipping for the U2 will begin from October. Shipping will be first come, first served. Order early to get your U2 projector early!

As you may be aware, there is a surge in international shipping costs due to the pandemic. To thank our early supporters, we will provide free shipping and also cover the customs fees for backers around the world except for a few countries on the list. 
For the listed countries, we do not have a regional warehouse so we need to send the package directly from the factory, making the total cost higher. We will charge you a small portion of the shipping fee, and customs are not covered.
