Why It Mattered
The N1S Ultra pushed the “projector that sets itself up like a TV” concept further than its predecessor, with reviewers noting its 3,500-lumen brightness and Netflix-certified Google TV made it a legitimate TV replacement rather than just a novelty gadget.
Who Should Buy It
Buyers who want a projector that can be placed anywhere in a room and auto-corrects its image without manual adjustment — ideal for renters or anyone who repositions their setup often.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Class-leading auto-alignment via gimbal, official Netflix app (rare for Android-based projectors), strong brightness for the category.
Cons: Premium price versus non-gimbal competitors like the Dangbei Atom; gimbal mechanism adds bulk versus flat portable designs.
