The First Night...
For a tad bit of history. My first projector was the Capsule Max. And my second projector was the Viewsonic M2. Each of these were portable. And they had third party cases making them easily moved around w/ their power cables or hdmi cables.I have owned the JMGO N1 for a little over twelve hours. I completed watching the movie Twister on it, I watched a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Eipsode on it. And I took a peek at some of my favorite movies on it. I can say I am happy.One of the first things I want to address is the artifacting that occurs in dim or dark shots. I read this in another reveiw, and it gave me sufficent pause, that I actually cancelled my order; and subsequently un-cancelled. This strange stippiling does occur in low light scenes, but it does not always occur. On my first night with this device I was watching on the ceiling, but i would move the image to the wall, just to check out the resize, and how it felt as a larger screen. This grainy, stippiling affect that occurs seems to reset, especially if you make the image larger. But the moment, I would go back to the ceiling it would come back. I thought at first it had something to do with the image keystone correction for having the projector at an angel from the flat surface of the wall or ceiling, but even when I re-maneuvered to a straight on perfectly framed image that needed no keystone compensation, the stipiling would remain. Oddly, the longer I watched a movie or tv show, the less this would occur. When you are streaming and you occasionally have a slow down in your stream, the image quality can be less. Had no one ever pointed out this effect, I probably would have put it off to image quality affected by buffering. But apparrently this has something to do with laser technology. If this affect in quality were constant, I would not keep this device, but for the most part, it was not constant. It did not disrupt my viewing enjoyment. And because this is a smaller, more portable device, at a lower price point, with an image quality that is pretty much REALLY GOOD I am not at all unhappy.Another thing I want to address. Lately when I go to movies I have been noticing a red line in the image or along the edges of the image. I found this curious, especially as I watched Dune at the movies and a week later watched it at home and it was not there. When I was watching movies on my new projector i noticed this red line appear and disappear. I am pretty confident now this is an artifact created by one, the laser technology and two my glasses, that I need for seeing distant objects. I must move my head for this red outlinging to appear, and if i take my glasses off, it is completely gone. So long as my head, or my eyes are completely aligned with the image, there is no problem, but if I am looking from the side of my lenses, it appears. Just something to take note of.The setup of the JMGO N1 was uncomplicated. At first the pairing of the remote control was a tad of trouble. The first image that appears are instructions for how to pair the remote, then suddenly a screen that wants you to respond, with the remote covers the image. If you are not paying attention, you will have to reboot the system so that the instructions are visible, and then it is no problem. Right out of the box, there are some things you can watch immediately. Just keep in mind if you are downloading apps, or if the system is upgrading in the background, as mine was, your first few attempts to watch videos will be problematic. The interface felt cluncky at first, and unresponsive, but after apps downloaded and the system rebooted, and the remote re-paired, everything was right side up and felt even. The Android TV interface was much better than I anticipated. On both the Anker Capsule and the Viewsonic M2; I reverted to using a firestick, or google dongel to watch video from. I can see using the Android TV, the built in interface much more faithfully, as time passes I am sure I will go to Apple TV being connected or some other thing like a bluray maybe, since this device is supposed to do 3D bluray movies. Setting up Max, Prime Video, YoutubeTV, were all just as easy as using my phone to scan the QR code and give the okay for my new device to run on my projector. Because the on board OS/ Interface was so bad on the Viewsonic M2 and the Anker Capsule version I owned, I wasted time trying to set those up, with the JMGO N1 I was up and running rather quickly. I would say maximum I spent ten maybe twenty minutes setting up. From there it was Finishing up a movie, and skipping around checking out picture quality from ceiling to wall, to screen. Natuarlly the picture qaulity is best on a screen. I am going to keep an eye on the dark scene artifacting, as I do tend to enjoy some darker movies and tv shows, like horror genres. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural and such. Intially I was watching on the ceiling, so when the brightness decressed as I switched to the wall , I was disappointed. Then, my eyes must have adjusted beause it seemed just as good, not as bright but just as good. Out of curiosity, I went and finagled with the image settings. I do not know why but my eyes prefer non-hdr settings, and this greatly increased birghtness, and my enjoyment of the image, be it on ceiling or on the wall. Strangely, and I will have to look into this, I have a small portable 40" projector screen; and the image quality was far more problematic with a small image. Now this particular screen has a bit of warp in it from the texas heat and sitting in my car for a week. So it may be that the automatic settings could not compensate and adjust focus, and keystone correctly. However, my previous projectors simply excelled in image quality and brightness when you brought the screen size down.I am giving this five stars. My logic is that every projector I have owned, one had to take time to learn how to configure it to one's personal likes. I am glad this projector does not have an internal battery that could go bad one day. Though the lens is 30k hours, that is exceedingly reasonable. With modern battery banks and the right adapter usbc to dc barrel, you could have interchangeable batteries, and keep an off grid movie time going for hours. The audio has a deeper bass than the Viewsonic M2, the audio placement would be better infront of you, as it was on the bed to my side, it did not bother me, I just recognize it would be better on a coffee table in front of me. With my Apple TV I could output the audio to a HomePod or a Sonos, or even my airpods. I have not yet tested bluetooth to bluetooth speaker yet.For now I am happy with this, and have aim to report back the more I use it. By comparison the Anker was way too dark, the M2 was just right but I had to lose it for reasons unrelated to function. Thought I was very happy wiht the Viewsonic M2 I could not see myself purchasing it at it is now discontinued. So the N1 seems to be just about equivalent, but somewhat better in certain aspects, upgrade.This is my birthday present to myself and will one day be my permanent bedroom television.

A Nicely Priced Projector, Equipped with a Fantastic Support Team, Saved My 3d Collection
I purchased this product strictly for its 3d capabilities. I was no longer able to watch my 3d blu-rays on my 3d tv, and knowing that projectors are the only way to watch them now, I looked for one that would not break my budget. This N1 projector seemed to be the best one. I read and watched a lot of reviews, but none of them discussed the 3d capability. I decided to take a chance, knowing that I could return it for an Amazon refund, if it did not work for me. And at first, it did not. It was quick and easy to set up and start playing a disc, but I could not get it to play in 3d. I contacted Amazon, and the agent quickly offered a refund, but I told him no, I really wanted to get it to work. I am not adept with (new to me) technology, and the tiny instruction manual provides very little information. The Amazon agent offered to put me in touch with JMGO support, since he did not know the machine well enough to offer advice. Contacting support, I found that the whole team was happy and eager to help me to figure out the problem. They seemed to really enjoy helping customers. I told them I really liked the machine so far, but the 3d component was the sine qua non of my purchase. We went back and forth for a week by email (I spent a few days just trying to get a video of the problem to them), but after they suggested a simple adjustment in my procedure, I finally got the 3d image I was looking for. Then I discovered that my old 3d glasses for viewing on my tv did not work with the projector image. After receiving a pair of the JMGO 3d glasses (which the team sent me gratis), I was in like Flynn and viewing beautiful 3d images on my wall. These new glasses, which you aim at the projector and not at the image, are a fabulous improvement over the ones I used to use with my tv. They are easier to "pair," and instead of the batteries that never lasted very long that powered the old glasses, these are charged via a USB cord that is supplied with the glasses. If I recall correctly, the charge is supposed to last for some 25 hours. I have not tried the projector's other features (as I said, I bought it solely for my 3d discs), but there are plenty of reviews out there for those. The only negative I've found so far, aside from the skimpy instruction manual (a problem neutralized by the support team), is the low sound. I had the sound at 80% in a small room, and it was fine, but in a larger room it was low for some discs even at 100%. Maybe I can correct this via the USB or earphone plug with some kind of sound booster. Anyway, I'm fine for now, especially with captioning, and I'm back in 3d movie wonderland. To reiterate, this is an excellent product, decently priced, with a great support team to back it up. And of course, on Amazon it's a safe purchase (and it arrived in just one or two days after ordering).

Small projector, big screen size
I have the projector for a bit more than a year. The big screen is like an upgrade vs mounting a tv in my bedroom. The only problem that I encounter and this may not be problem with the manufacturer rather is an OS problem. There is now a really bad lag in the navigation. I hope the manufacturer can either update the device with more memory in their next version.

Great projector
Laser speckle can only be seen from up close. Completely invisible from viewing distance. Perfect little projector. Good color, very bright, good enough sound. Its a great value for money.

Not great.
I don’t know anything about projector but I definitely looked around to see what’s the best value and this one came out on top. The picture quality is not good. Not what I expected. I guess I need to spend more to get a better quality picture.

Great and Portable
Works great for films and home cinema, as well as playing video games - we'd never have a 10-12 feet screen otherwise. Small text in games might be a bit tough to see, but that's fine for us. I literally created an Excel spreadsheet with pros and cons for this model vs. competitors, and this one was the best. I especially like that this one is portable, so we use it in both living room and bedroom + sometimes take it with us when we travel.
