Donald Trump is going to get his gilded White House ballroom thanks to the Supreme Court, but not with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr’s blessing.

JMGO’s 4K 120Hz Iris Ultra Max all-in-one Google TV projector is now available outside China. It gets its name from a new dual-iris system that lets it produce an impressive 10,000:1 native contrast, according to JMGO. It boosts the contrast — always an issue with projectors — by placing two separate physical apertures (irises) along different points of the internal optical path to control light scatter and brightness far more aggressively than a single iris can. It also promises to produce a very bright 6,500 ISO lumen image from its triple-laser light engine.Last year at IFA, 6,000 lumens from an…
