What if a nomadic video projector could finally compete with the big ones? JMGO intends to change the game with its Picoplay range.
The emergence of nomadic spotlights on the market will have been dazzling to say the least, and their many advantages were quickly sufficient to overshadow the fixed models. It must be said that these small devices offer Flexibility much appreciated by userswho are also ready to compromise on Image quality and on -board features.
The JMGO brand perfectly represents this trend with video projectors to Practical and aesthetic designwhile making real efforts to offer A satisfactory visual and sound rendering to spectators. Like the Nano N1S that we have just tested, but also of its brand new Picoplay and Picoplay+, which aim to open the field of possibilities for models of such a small template (730g for 8.5 cm in diameter). A look at what is hidden in the heart of the beast.
Small size = average image? Not according to JMGO…
We often expect – and rightly – that video projectors in the most modest formats are also those who deliver The less good visual rendering. And for good reason: with less room for components, brands must generally be satisfied with small fleas and a limited definition, as we had seen in our guide to choose a video projector.
But the JMGO Picoplay and its Picoplay+ version (recognizable by its black color) seem to be derogating from the rule, since the manufacturer announces that they offer A beautiful Full HD definition (by extrapolation, 540p in native definition) with a DLP 0.23 ″ technology, automatic setting options (trapeze correction, motorized “gimbal” type development) and a brightness of 450 lumens ISO. Sufficient to appreciate your favorite films and series in an obscure room, and even a little better than certain rivals such as the Xgimi Elfin Flip or the Dangbei N2 (400 lumens).
At the same time, the first user feedback point to many advantages that distinguish them from competitors such as their excellent colorimetry (provided you are ready to hack the settings), as well as latency of less than 50 ms and largely acceptable for gaming according to Will project in the world. For comparison, most of its rivals are already a little more expensive But they also offer less precise settings. JMGO Picoplay video projectors therefore seem to be placed as real references in terms of Performance-Prix reportand their qualities are far from being limited to that …
The Picoplay, a multiple faceted video projector
One of the great peculiarities of the JMGO Picoplay certainly lies in His ability to do everything (or almost). And for good reason: in addition to excel in the screening of films and series vis-à -vis its price, and as long as all the conditions are met (black projection surface, dark room), it can also serve as a Bluetooth speaker (8 Watts) with A 360 ° sounding sound So that everyone can take advantage of it.
Those who prefer to scroll on social networks will also be able to count on its vertical display modewhile its colorful mood lighting at Philips Ambilight is a bit the icing on the cake that we had not seen coming. Without forgetting, of course, 4:30 am of autonomy (eco mode), or continuous use using an external battery with a minimum power of 65 W.
In parallel with this, you should know that the two models of this new JMGO range embark on an interface Google official TV with “More than 10,000 applications” (According to the brand) including the main streaming platforms (Netflix, Disney+, Video Prime, etc.). In short, everything you need to conquer a large clientele in search of a video projector compact, multi-usagesand easy to store or move from one room to another.
With prices between 449€ et 599€these new portable JMGO projectors are already available online and soon at FNAC, Darty, or Son-Video. The brand is very aggressively on a market where competitors of the same price are not about to sit at its table.
