The idea is to provide 4K picture quality from a short distance, so this projector comes with a more space-friendly design in mind.
What’s not to like? I guess it just seems counter-intuitive.
The model name is actually HU915QE, and it projects images ranging from 90 to 120 inches in size (measured diagonally). That’s a 90-inch image when placed 5.6 cm from the wall or a 120-inch picture at a distance of just 18.3 cm.
LG says it displays 3,700 ANSI lumens, with a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and there’s a built-in 2.2 Channel, 40W speaker system. The full spec is below.
It uses LG’s webOS platform to let you watch streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube and Apple TV without an additional device. You can also wirelessly stream content via Screen Mirroring, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth.
CineBeam
LG writes:
“The new CineBeam projector also makes a stylish addition to any room with its eco-friendly ‘Re-wool’ designed by renowned Danish textile company, Kvadrat. Made from 45 percent recycled wool, this material has become a favorite of design- and sustainability-conscious companies worldwide, used in products as diverse as furniture and premium audio solutions. Thanks to its muted, natural color and clean design, the HU915QE blends in well with luxurious home interiors.”
Rather worryingly it warns, for sound, that compatibility is guaranteed with LG Bluetooth speakers only.
