Projector Showdown: Dangbei X5S Plus vs. JMGO N3
In the competitive projector market, the Dangbei X5S Plus and JMGO N3 stand out as top contenders. For consumers deciding between them, which one offers better value? Let’s compare their specs and pricing—spoiler: the Dangbei X5S Plus shines brighter.
Price: Battle of Discounts
- Dangbei X5S Plus: Regular price $760, drops to $550 with government subsidies.
- JMGO N3: Regular price $720, subsidized price $550.
Though both hit the same subsidized price, the Dangbei X5S Plus delivers superior performance at this cost, making it the smarter buy.
Optics: Picture Quality Face-Off
- Dangbei X5S Plus: Uses ALPD laser—stable, accurate colors, no flickering.
- JMGO N3: Relies on tri-laser tech, which can suffer from speckle (grainy visuals).
Brightness & Contrast:
- Dangbei: 2000 CVIA lumens, 10,000:1 contrast—crisp even in bright rooms.
- JMGO: 1700 CVIA lumens, 1600:1 contrast—struggles with washed-out scenes.
Throw Ratio:
- Dangbei (1.27:1) + 360° adjustable stand adapts to any space.
- JMGO (1.0–1.3:1) lacks flexibility.
Display & Performance
Both offer 4K resolution, auto-focus, and correction, but Dangbei is faster and smoother, with better motion handling.
Hardware & Features
OS & Chip:
- Dangbei: Android 13 + MT9669 chip (faster decoding, future-proof).
- JMGO: Older Android 11 + weaker processor.
Storage & Sound:
- Dangbei: 3GB RAM + 64GB storage (vs. JMGO’s 4+32GB) + 12W×2 speakers (louder, richer).
- JMGO: 10W×2 speakers.
Extras:
- Dangbei: Ethernet port, <24dB noise (quieter than JMGO’s ≤26dB), ad-free casting, remote finder, and eye-care mode.
- JMGO: Casting ads, fewer features.
Verdict
At the same subsidized price, the Dangbei X5S Plus dominates in brightness, contrast, speed, sound, and usability. For premium home theater, it’s the clear winner.
