LG has announced a new 4K laser projector with specifications that adds 3700 ANSI lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.
It’s called the LG HU915QE ultra-short range laser projector (not the flashiest call ever) and it’s the sequel to the LG HU715Q that LG announced earlier this year.
Being an ultra-short range projector, the HU915QE is capable of generating 90-inch photographs (larger even than the most productive 4K TVs on the market) just 2 inches from the wall. Take it seven inches from the wall and get a screen length of 120 inches.
In terms of design, the new style looks like an elongated, sturdy box with a fabric mesh covering the speaker grille. Inside, the projector sports a 2. 2-channel, 40W speaker formula, a bit boring compared to more productive soundbars, but LG says that can be advanced by adding more wireless Bluetooth speakers.
For streaming fans, the projector uses LG’s wise WebOS platform that has access to the most productive streaming like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney Plus, and more. LG says the projector also supports screen mirroring and AirPlay 2.
Last but not least, LG has supplied the HU915QE with a number of useful TV technologies, such as HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping that adds an HDR-like look to non-HDR content and LG’s Brightness Optimizer II engine that can automatically adjust the smooth Ambient-based output. Soft situations in the room. These are great benefits for a high-end projector like this and make moviegoers very happy.
So how much is it going to cost? Well, that’s where things get a little murky.
LG hasn’t said exactly how much the new member of the Cinebeam family circle will charge you, but it will definitely be between $5,000 and $6,000. The LG HU85LA, another laser projector with a similar design and specifications, charges $4,999 when it was released in 2019. It is imaginable that the new style is a little cheaper, but not much.
Until we have a company release date, there’s no way to know how much the HU915QE will cost, but if the $3,000 HU715Q is something to do, it’s possibly not cheap.
Looking for a little more affordable? The LG HU85LA has now fallen to less than $3,000. Check out the latest offers below.
