Overview
- Reviews published Wednesday found the Iris Ultra Max’s motorized AI‑gimbal reliably searches for a projection surface and aligns the unit by rotating up to 360° horizontally and up to 150° vertically.
- The projector uses three RGB lasers and JMGO’s figures list 6500 ISO‑lumens of peak brightness, up to 10,000:1 native contrast, native 4K processing at 120 Hz, and two HDMI inputs that accept 4K‑120Hz signals.
- Optical flexibility is strong thanks to a 0.88–1.7:1 zoom and large lens‑shift (manufacturer: ±130% vertical, ±53% horizontal), which preserves image quality better than digital trapezoid correction.
- Practical shortcomings noted by testers include a buried memory function that stores multiple positions but needs many remote steps to use, a bulky chassis (about 31×23×27 cm and roughly 7 kg) that is hard to hide in living rooms, and a remote lacking direct shortcuts.
- Built‑in stereo speakers sound unexpectedly good for a projector yet suffer from audio‑localization because sound comes from the device’s location, and the unit’s Google TV plus eARC support mean buyers are likely to pair it with a soundbar or AV system for proper spatial audio.
