LG Electronics has introduced its 2022 LG CineBeam 4K laser projectors (models HU715Q and HU710P), which it calls the company’s most advanced projectors to date.
The company’s $2,999 HU715Q Ultra Short Throw (UST) features sophisticated technologies including auto brightness and the ability to create a 100-inch image when placed only 21.7 centimeters (about 8.5 inches) from the wall, helpful for bringing the big picture to space-conscious design.
The $2,499 LG HU710P, which LG describes as “a notable upgrade to its predecessor,” delivers brighter images and deeper blacks thanks to its wheel-less hybrid laser.
LG states its new CineBeam projectors enable immersive, large-scale images that can be projected directly onto the wall or a dedicated screen. Compact and easy to set up, both models are suitable for most indoor spaces and also work well in outdoor environments after the sun has set, the company adds.
For consumers seeking a stylish aesthetic for a projector that will sit out in the open, the LG HU715Q has been designed with a premium fabric cover courtesy of Danish textile company, Kvadrat “to harmonize with home furnishings and interiors,” the company says.
