LG released some of its best sized TVs this year, but it also has options to help you get the biggest picture possible — we’re talking about a large 120in, available on the gorgeous 4K projector we’ve seen up close.
The HU915QB CineBeam projector is a short-throw projector powered by 3000 ANSi lumens, which means it produces a bright image when positioned just inches away from the display (7.2 inches, to be exact).
Projectors like the HU915QB provide a large screen theater solution for those looking to elevate their entertainment setup. While it’s not cheap at $6,500, it’s more accessible than, say, a 97-inch LG OLED TV from, say, $25,000. If you have the space to accommodate a 120-inch image, a projector may be a better option for you than a TV.
Especially with the short-throw technology, you don’t need to dedicate an entire theater room to use the LG projector. By placing the HU915QB close to a wall, there is virtually no chance of disrupting the image or dealing with annoying glare.
But LG knows you might not like the big box aesthetic in your living room, so it offers a custom credibility that unobtrusively integrates the HU915QB into a piece of furniture.
When we first saw the HU915QB, we almost couldn’t spot it in the hidden console, but upon closer inspection, a projection light popped up from the bottom of the 120-inch image. As for the picture, it looked excellent for a projector.
The overall contrast and color volume can’t compete with the best OLED TVs, including the LG C2 OLED TV that we recently gave 5/5 stars. Although the depth of the picture looked surprisingly good, the colors held themselves even with some bright ambient lighting seeping into the viewing area.
Can a laser projector replace your TV?
Again, projectors can only offer so much in terms of image performance. But if screen size is your priority, choosing something like the HU915QB presents more possibilities. Another option we liked in our first impressions is the Hisense L9G 4K Laser TV, which comes in a 120-inch configuration for $5,999.
When you consider the costs of the largest configurations of the best LG TVs, the best Samsung TVs, and the top Sony TVs, $6000 or $6,500 doesn’t seem inconsequential for what is essentially a 120-inch TV. An 83-inch LG G2 OLED TV costs $6499, an 85-inch Samsung 4K Neo QLED TV QN90B costs $5,000, and a Samsung 8K Neo QLED QN900B costs $8,500.
A big TV will cost you anyway, so depending on your budget and performance needs, going the projector route might be right for you. We can say that you may also get the largest possible screen for the price.
