JMGO M6 mini DLP projector review - Hollywood in the palm of your hand
Talking about a product like that is quite unusual if you do not belong to the niche of extreme lovers of playful do-it-yourself. But this does not mean that this product can not affect the most common users, and I will address them in the very same review of the JMGO M6 portable mini projector that you can find on the store Gearbest.com, who gave us the sample and I thank him very much.
WE SEE TOGETHER THE JMGO M6 UNBOXING
Very rich and well-kept package, which comes in a black cardboard with company logos on the sides and photos of the product in a beautiful view on the packaging giving a typical appearance of store products. Inside, in addition to our mini projector we find a User Manual in English, a cleaning cloth of the lens and various boxes containing: 1 power supply, 1 small bottle with socket adapter UK, USA but also European, thus making the JMGO M6 usable all over the globe. Finally we find the power cord with Chinese attack and one USB cable with magnetic connection to connect the 3 mini adapters supplied micro USB, Type-C and Lightning.
The idea of a projector brings to mind the use in environments such as schools, offices, theaters, cinemas, etc. it is difficult to think about the use in the common houses, instead, it is possible precisely to the technological development that led to the miniaturization of the basic elements that make up a projector without giving up good hardware and good graphics.
DESIGN AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS JMGO M6
And let's start from the really small dimensions, equal to 194 x 102 x 29 mm and a weight of 500 grams, which overall make ultralight and ultra portable the JMGO M6 projector, so much the same can be inserted into a trouser pocket. Portability is made possible thanks also to the battery integrated with 5400 mAh that allows the use of the mini projector without necessarily the aid of power cables, indeed at the same time you can take advantage of the battery as a powerbank for charging our smartphone or other technological gadget. Naturally, operation is also possible via the 12V / 3A power supply, which is able to recharge our device in about 2 hours allowing one continuous use of about 2.5 / 3 hours, without power supply.
JMGO M6 has one chassis completely made of plastic as well as all the parts that make it up. On the top we find the manufacturer's logo as well as a small room dedicated to the housing of your smartphone, in which we will find 3 magnetic connectors in micro USB, Type-C and Lightning formats. Pay attention only to the size of your smartphone, for example my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 can not be placed inside the compartment if not with the addition of an additional adapter. You wonder why a space dedicated to the smartphone? The answer is that JMGO M6 allows the mirroring of your smartphone thus enjoying the vision of multimedia content but also games, directly on a "display" up to 180 inches. Miracast compatibility for both iOS devices in direct mode and for Android through an application dedicated to this purpose. While on iOS playback is both for video and audio, for Android devices will be able to play only the video and then the sound will be played by the smartphone.
Continuing with the design at the bottom we find 4 anti-slip silicone rubber but also thestandard 1 / 4-type attack for anchoring the projector on a tripod, really comfortable in situations where not bwe enforce an adequate support base for what will be the final dimensions of our screen. Also always on the bottom there is a adhesive with reported the main certifications of the product but there is also one tab that will allow the mini projector to be raised slightly JMGO M6 when resting on a base.
The front profile is dedicated to one snorkel with a central one IR receiver e two stereo speakers whose real power is unknown but it is assumed a dual driver from 2W each. Also on the right profile we find an air intake that overall result poco noisy, in fact it is only 30 the decibels that "pollute" the general sound of work.
On the left profile we find a real one central control unit where you can appreciate one hole that hides the small reset button, HDMI input through which connect, for example, consoles such as PS4 or Nintendo Switch, a USB input with which to connect, for example, an external hard disk, memory stick but also a mouse and keyboard receiver. Above this we find 4 small LEDs indicating the state of charge (active only during the charging process) or powerbank activities (active only when the projector is switched off). Finally we find thecharging input with proprietary type connection and multi-function button which allows the switching on / off of the product but also to switch to the powerbank mode.
JMGO M6 IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWERFUL LAMP
It remains to analyze the rear profile, which apparently looks smooth with the only customization given by the writing SMART PORTABLE THEATER which actually conceals a convenient remote control that at the same time discovers an exit for the air. But the real actor of the JMGO M6 projector is the lamp with power of 22W by well 200 ANSI lumens guaranteed for one duration of 20000 hours (over 10 years with regular daily use of about 5 hours) e 3000 contrast: 1. Next to the light optics we also find one little wheel that will allow us to adjust the image focus because the JMGO M6 projector promises one projection distance up to 4,4 meters getting one screen from 180 inches up to a minimum of 1 meter for a 40 inch screen (3,6m / 150 "- 2.5m / 100" - 2m / 80 "), adopting the DLP technology patented by TexasInstruments to obtain high fidelity images in light and vivid colors. In addition, the electronic focus is comfortable, efficient and precise, translating into the fact that every detail is perfectly reproduced. The native resolution is 854 x 480 pixels 160 dpi but they are also supported 1080p and 4K resolutions in 16: 9 format as well as 3D offering an extraordinary visa experience.
JMGO M6 IS EQUIPPED WITH A REMOTE CONTROL COMFORT
The remote control must be powered by 2 1.5V LR03 AAA batteries (the classic ministyle) not included in the package, which will be placed under the small removable door located in the lower base. On the right profile we find the volume balance as well as the button for operating the laser indicator place on the top of the remote control. The commands are reduced to the essentials and they are all placed on the front and are composed of power button, menu key, directional pad, confirmation key, back key, and Home key.
Before moving on to real operation, let's analyze the hardware that makes up this JMGO M6 mini projector. We find a MediaTek MT5863 quadcore processor 64bit Cortex A53 with maximum clock frequency of 1,5 GHz Supported by 1 GB of RAM DDR3 ed 8 GB of internal storage eMMC for the installation of any applications and Mali-450MP GPU. Not missing a Realtek 802.11 b / g / na dual band WiFi module (2.4 / 5 GHz) e Bluetooth 4.0 allowing for example the use of online content such as YouTube, Netflix but also the connection of a speaker if we do not want to use the sound returned from the two stereo speakers of our projector, which in the case of use in the home environment is more than satisfactory and of good volume.
JMGO is powered by the Android 7.0 operating system which therefore transforms our projector into a common one TV Box that thanks to WiFi connectivity will allow you to take advantage of online content. In summary, our product has multiple functions such as the one related to the powerbank through which we could charge our smartphone while we are watching our favorite series. There is also a Laser Pointer, a very popular tool for conferences and therefore needs to channel users' attention to a certain point. Present the Miracast with which to transmit the display and the contents of our smartphone to a display up to 180 inches.
HOW DOES THE JMGO M6 WORK?
But above all the JMGO M6 is a small pocket cinema with further function of playing content in 3D. You can adjust the zoom of the image in order to perfect the vision of the multimedia content based on the surface on which you are going to project even if it is already basic present the KeyStone function with vertical angle up to 40 degrees, with the possibility of setting in manual or automatic (considering that this function as in all the projectors affects the final quality of the image). In other words, the KeyStone is used to compensate for the trapezoidal effect on the image obtained when the screen plane and the projector's optics are not parallel. Maybe you are in my same condition, in which I have no wall with a white background available (though operation is also guaranteed with surfaces other than white) but above all free walls to be dedicated to the projector. My friends, just one poco ingenuity such as reusing old sheets, hanging them in the desired point and at this point enjoying the innumerable potentials offered by the JMGO M6. Also it is present the reverse and ceiling mode overturning the image and contents in case the JMGO M6 has been placed on a ceiling.
The languages supported by the system are English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Indonesian and Thai. nothing Italian but the menus are really intuitive that this absence was not a problem. Basic we find a launcher without drawer where will be present all the applications that from time to time we will go to install but also the system settings and a convenient File Manager through which you can browse the files of a USB key or Hard Disk connected to the projector. First of all, from the settings free the RAM of the device, operation also usable through the remote control, or set the fan power level or leave it automatically, etc.
The imagination becomes the key element in the use of the JMGO M6, since having an Android 7.0 system we can install the various APK that we find on the net, considering that although the maximum can be supported by the software would become particularly counterproductive to install for example games that require the use of the touch. In any case, the Aptoide TV application is present with which to install applications optimized for the various TV Boxes in circulation, such as YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix but above all the extraordinary Kodi that really gives productivity and efficiency to these types of products, allowing you to watch TV, streaming various and all that imagination and boundaries of legality allow.
The use has never concealed problems and I have never repented any kind of overheating, but in my opinion it becomes It is essential to use, for example, a mini keyboard with an integrated mouse, as writing and navigating the interface of some applications becomes quite difficult e poco satisfying if you use only the supplied remote control.
CONCLUSIONS ON THE MINI JMGO M6 PROJECTOR
That said, the JMGO M6 mini projector is definitely a good quality product and from the interesting features offered but net of a partly competitive price respect models of other brands, it remains a niche product and which is difficult to recommend to the classic user.

But the JMGO M6 becomes a must have for those who want enhance their work during small conferences and do not want to carry the cumbersome equipment of thousands of euros, or to a movie lover who has managed to carve out a corner of space in his tavern or why not a gadget to give to their children to connect their PS4 / Nintendo Switch / XBox allowing you to play with a screen that would envy the most cool of their friends.
