Summary

There are three key features of convenience a projector can have to make it ultra-simple.

TheJMGO N1Snails all of those things and more.

The dual-purpose handle makes it easy to carry and is nearly infinitely adjustable for any wall or surface.

Not only on a screen or wall but also on the ceiling.

The N1S is far from the only projector with a built-in stand.

Still, the N1S does a great job too.

Although I like the tilting stand, the triple laser projection system is ultimately the important part.

To that end, the 1080p FHD picture looked good.

The unit was very compact, seemingly without compromising on image quality.

I used the projector on a plain interior wall and with a projector screen.

I was satisfied in both cases with nothing of note to mention.

On the sound front, the two integrated 5W speakers were plenty loud for all my indoor movie-watching.

Youll want to connect an external speaker for those types of uses.

New projectors are starting to include Google TV software and Im loving it.

JMGO NS1

The JMGO N1S mini triple laser projector features 1080p FHD picture quality, built-in speakers, Google TV, and a stand that doubles as a handle.

The inclusion of Google TV on the N1S is a big boon for it.

It needs access to a power source.

But I really wish there was a USB-C port instead of an A variant.

I wish the N1S had a tiny bit more horsepower.

On two occasions, out of many, the Google TV software lagged or stuttered.

Is the JMGO N1S Worth Spending Money On?

It’s a good projector, but a tough sell at full cost.

I would give a shot to wait until it goes on sale, personally.

Once it does, it should prove valuable for the role it serves.

I was smitten with its adjustable gimbal stand that moved freely but didnt shift around.

It made using the projector in different environments a stellar experience.

I was also fully satisfied with the picture quality and mostly happy with having Google TV software.
