LG - CineBeam 4K UHD Wireless Smart Laser Short Throw Projector with High Dynamic Range - White

Disclaimer: This is the only projector I have owned. I’m building a dedicated theater room and this was perfect for my space. Great picture quality, really bright and looks decent in semi lit room (with UST screen). The picture quality is outstanding in a dark room. Manufacturer claims true: 120” screen when projector is 7” from screen! Seems well built and looks really good. Using external speakers, but internal would be fine for average size living room. My only gripe is the built in fans seem loud but not noticeable during most movies. Also white is a strange choice of color for a theater projector. Assuming that was a fashion over function decision. Review photos show picture quality and color in various lighting scenarios.

This projector is, in my opinion, one of the best currently on the market. What the LG HU85LA provides is a setup that does not require running wires through the ceiling as all it needs is to be a few inches from the wall to project up to a 120" image. And that image is impeccable in its quality and that is coming from someone who owns an OLED TV with perfect blacks and perfect contrast. For the OLED owners worried about missing out on the perfect blacks I can assure you that the blacks are dark. Yes, if you look closely you will notice the imperfections but you can only ask so much from a projector. As for the color accuracy this projector is just as amazing with superb color accuracy minus the few instances where very vibrant reds look slightly orange. And the higher chipset that requires less bit shifts to create a 4K image makes for a very clean and sharp picture. Yes, it is not pure 4K as the image needs to shift to get it there but you will have to spend over $20,000 to get a projector that can do that. Without question I cannot recommend this projector enough and with that I wanted to address some of the issues people have had with this device. The first is obviously the price. No way around it, $6000 is a lot of money and while I was more than happy with the quality of the product it will depend on how much you are willing to pay. I will admit that I wish they had just left the sound bar out and reduced the price as it is only acceptable and you will more than likely have a better sound system anyway. People have also complained about the box being white and distracting during the movie. I'll be blunt, it's not distracting. Unless you have a terrible attention span and cannot focus on the screen it will just fad into the background once the movie starts. Another thing you will not notice once the movie starts is the coil whine. Yes, this projector has it and while it is noticeable when you turn the projector on you will not notice it once the movies starts except for the scenes where literally nothing is happening. Overall, I cannot recommend this projector enough. If you are in the market for an ultra-short throw projector with a superb picture and if you are willing to pay the price of admission do yourself a favor and demo this projector as you will not be disappointed.
