when looking for a projector there are kind of two camps you have the high-end cinema style for your home and you have the smaller portable but less high quality that you can take around now usually you have to choose between the two and they serve different purposes but now you don't necessarily have to LG reached out wanting to sponsor our video instant over this the LG UHD Sinha beams projector and it combines the high-end quality of a cinema home theater projector with the flexibility of a portable one hardware-wise this is the most interesting projector I've seen when you look at it you don't instantly think that this is a projector but this design lets it be used in four ways and besides the remote control everything you need is built right in around back are your inputs like HDMI USB Ethernet optical audio there's an antenna input and there's a built-in retractable power cable there's a handle dials for zoom and focus and then the most interesting part the laser light source and the mirror which is what allows for the four convertible modes first let's touch on the actual image is a 4k DLP projector with support for HDR 10 and you can get that image from 40 inches up to 150 inches so it gets bit the laser outputs 2500 lumens which to purchase some other projectors we've tested isn't quite as bright but even still the image is easy to see although for the best picture you'll definitely want to dim the lights it's designed for a dark environment it has motion compensation and estimation for fast-moving video and most importantly it has an eye shaped engine and without mirrors and improve cooling system which not only keeps this quiet but also makes it very compact compared to other projectors of similar quality now one concern we've seen with laser projectors is the laser life since unlike traditional lamps you can't replace them the lifetime here is rated at 20,000 hours so after to that amount of time it won't perform quite as well yes it's a bummer that it can't be changed but it'll has significantly longer than a traditional lamp so it's pretty much maintenance-free and till the end of its life now this is also an LG Smart TV so you can use apps like Netflix and YouTube you can connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for easier navigation it works almost the same as a dedicated TV it's just a projector form I will say the navigation is strange I think it's more a fault of the controller but some of the buttons didn't work exactly as I expected for instance the back button often wouldn't go back it wouldn't do anything besides that though I enjoyed using this UI finding everything was easy and I was able to get to the content quickly now that's all fine and dandy but how does it actually look and one word great the image is sharp the colors are vibrant even when projecting on a wall without a dedicated screen although obviously using a dedicated screen is preferred for normal viewing the images look smooth and not jittery so from a pure visual angle the projector gets a thumbs up but now to the most interesting part about this the for use modes the first two are like a traditional projector you point it or attach it to the wall and you project across the room but you can also stand it vertically and then project them to the ceiling so for me I used it in bed to watch a movie was interesting but if you don't want it across the room where you don't want to attach it to the ceiling you can use the built-in mirror to project onto the wall from a shorter distance this makes the projector much more versatile overall and it's super easy to set up in each configuration I was able to move from projecting on the ceiling to then the wall with really no fuss although it will say the marketing behind this is a little interesting this is a high quality cinema projector best suited for home theaters but at the same time it's portable and meant to be moved around that doesn't really affect the quality of the projector at all but it's a unique take for sure so for the $3,000 the lg UHD cinema projector is kind of the whole package great 4k image quality compact design and it's portable enough to take around with you if you need it but let us know if this is something you would consider picking up yes it's a bit pricey but you're getting a 150 inch screen for that money so it's not a bad deal if you enjoyed this video and you want to see more be sure to hit subscribe and that notification bell to see when new videos are out I don't think you all so much for watching I'm Atkins also TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you next time you
