In October 2026, manufacturers began releasing new high-performance 4K projectors targeting the gaming and home cinema markets. 

JMGO initially announced the N5S Turbo, a 4K projector with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3,600 CVIA lumens of brightness. Shortly after, the company expanded its offerings with the Iris Ultra Max, a compact triple-RGB laser projector featuring 6,500 ISO lumens, a 10,000:1 native contrast ratio, and a motorized gimbal stand. 

During the same period, XGIMI introduced the Horizon 30 series, including the Pro, Max, and Ultra Max models. These RGB triple-laser projectors offer brightness levels up to 6,000 ISO lumens and support 4K resolution at 120 Hz.

In November 2026, JMGO expanded its reach into the Japanese market by commencing pre-sales for the IRIS Ultra Max and the IRIS Ultra via the Makuake crowdfunding platform. The IRIS Ultra Max features an AI electric gimbal for 360-degree rotation and 150-degree vertical movement, a triple laser engine producing 6,500 ISO lumens, and an AI spatial image memory function. 

The IRIS Ultra serves as a more affordable option, replacing the electric gimbal with manual lens shift and optical zoom. It provides 4,500 ISO lumens and a 7,000:1 native contrast ratio. Both models include Google TV with Gemini for TV support, HDMI 2.1 for low-latency gaming, and audio compatibility with Dolby Audio and DTS:X.
