Design
Looking from the front view, we can see that the lens module of Jenovox M4000 Pro is located at the left side of the front panel while Jenovox M3000 Pro’s lens module is centered. Jenovox M3000 Pro has a meshed panel at the front panel while Jenovox M4000 Pro is smooth and neat. The two projectors both adopt perforated mesh vents to achieve better heat dissipation.
As for the color, both projectors choose a subdued dark gray color as the main color and a golden color as the embellishment.
In terms of dimensions and weight, the two projectors are portable enough, but Jenovox M4000 Pro is relatively bigger and heavier.
Image
Both projectors use a 0.47 DMD chip to produce native 1080P resolution, but they are different in terms of brightness. The two projectors can decode 4K resolution.
Jenovox M4000 Pro has 2,000 ANSI Lumens while Jenovox M3000 Pro has only 800 ANSI Lumens. In other words, Jenovox M4000 Pro is much brighter than the M3000 Pro model. If you want to use the projector during the daytime, then you need to pick a projector with higher brightness. Though Jenovox M3000 Pro is less bright than the sibling, but it has longer lamp life.
As for color gamut, the two Jenovox projectors have the same 135% color coverage of BT.709. Check our previous post on Projector Color Gamut to know more details about color gamut.
In terms of image adjustment technique, Jenovox M4000 Pro and Jenovox M3000 Pro both have autofocus and 8-point keystone correction, making image adjustment convenient and quick.
HDR is also a helpful image technique for improving image details. The two projectors support HDR10 to enhance image brightness and contrast. We can see that the image with HDR is obviously better in image color and contrast.

System
Jenovox M4000 Pro and Jenovox M3000 Pro are both powered by the Android system, meaning that you can download various apps on the projector and enjoy content directly. It is worth noting that the system is not Android TV, therefore the system has no built-in Google services.
The two projectors are equipped with the same MT9652 chip and built-in 3GB+32G memory. The MTK9652 chipset is widely seen in some high-end TV. The larger the memory, the quicker response, and the bigger the storage.
In terms of the projection system, the two projectors have the same 0.47 DMD chip and DLP display technology. The DLP projector is widely used in smart home projectors because of its low cost and small size.
Audio
Jenovox M4000 Pro and Jenovox M3000 Pro have the same dual 5W speakers. The speakers are not loud and powerful enough compared with some smart projectors, but they can be connected to some high-end speakers. It is a pity that the two projectors don’t support Dolby Audio. Therefore, you need to turn off Dolby Audio when watching movies or shows on some streaming platforms.
A projector with low noise can deliver a pleasant audio experience. Jenovox M4000 Pro produces a typical noise of no more than 25 dB while Jenovox M3000 Pro produces noise of about 30 dB.
Connectivity
The connectivity represents the external possibilities of a projector. In terms of Wi-Fi sync, Jenovox M4000 Pro is better as it supports three mainstream mirroring techniques, including Airplay/Miracast/DLNA.

| Mirroring | Airplay / Miracast / DLNA | Miscast / Airplay |
| Ports | USB2.0×1 HDMI2.0×1 RJ45×1 DC×1 3.5mm Earphone ×1 Optical Fiber Audio×1 | USB2.0×1 RJ45×1 HDMI-compatible (ARC）×1 S/PDIF×1 3.5 Audio output×1 |
As for wireless connectivity, the two projectors both support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. In terms of a wired connection, the two projectors are both equipped with versatile ports, including USB 2.0, HDMI 2.0, RJ45, and earphone interfaces. However, Jenovox M4000 Pro is better in HDMI and audio connectivity, as it has HDMI 2.0 interface and optical Fiber Audio.
