The catch
JMGO O2S Ultra
Cabinet height and physical alignment still have to be exact because the UST lens is fixed.
Side by side
XGIMI MIRA vs JMGO O2S Ultra: MIRA stops at 120, O2S reaches 150 inches
Quick verdict
For a brighter 100 to 150-inch UST setup with licensed Google TV, go with the O2S Ultra. The MIRA is the pick if you want an 80 to 120-inch image, Dolby Vision and stronger built-in audio in a compact premium console.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Published ISO brightness: how big the gap is
The published “ISO brightness” figure is 80% higher on JMGO O2S Ultra: 3,600 ISO lumens, against 2,000 ISO lumens on XGIMI MIRA.
Where this comes from
Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. The percentage comes from the lower published figure.

XGIMI MIRA
Larger premium UST models are more flexible than its fixed 80 to 120-inch range.

This one comes down to published iso brightness and image range first, then to the limits of your own setup.

Differences you will notice
Published ISO brightness: how big the gap is
The published “ISO brightness” figure is 80% higher on JMGO O2S Ultra: 3,600 ISO lumens, against 2,000 ISO lumens on XGIMI MIRA.
How we worked this out
Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. The percentage comes from the lower published figure.
Where these two really part ways
JMGO O2S Ultra is the better match for “I will keep some lights on while I watch” and “I want Netflix working from day one”. XGIMI MIRA is the better match for “It will live in a bedroom or small apartment” and “I want sound that needs no extra speakers”.
How we worked this out
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.

Plug in your numbers
Will either projector work in your room?
This checks hard limits only. Personal preferences are left out of the math.
JMGO O2S Ultra
Does not work with your numbersFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.39 ft. You entered 9.50 ft.
XGIMI MIRA
Does not work with your numbersFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.53 ft. You entered 9.50 ft.
Measure distance from the lens to the screen. The math assumes a 16:9 picture and uses the verified throw range for each exact model.
With an ultra-short-throw model, the gap behind the cabinet is a separate measurement. Check the installation diagram for cabinet position, screen height and ventilation.

Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With JMGO O2S Ultra
- Rainbow flashes can appear with its single-chip DLP engine. In a bright room, the high output is no substitute for a proper UST screen.
With XGIMI MIRA
- A compact body doesn't remove the need for precise cabinet height and a flat wall or screen.
Decision guide
How to decide
Settle your target image size and room light first. A flat screen surface and exact furniture height are required for both.
The MIRA stays compact by taking on a smaller job
An 80 to 120-inch range and a 2,000 ISO-lumen rating suit a controlled living room. When the screen doesn't have to grow past 120 inches, this is the better all-in-one movie package.
The JMGO is designed for a bigger screen
Published output is much stronger on the O2S Ultra, which supports 80 to 150 inches. Its alignment demands are worth accepting only if the room calls for that scale.
What this page can’t tell you
- Published ISO brightness says nothing about calibrated output or screen gain.
- The projector body depth and the screen frame are not counted in wall-clearance claims.
