LG CineBeam UHD 4K Projector HU70LAB - DLP Home Theater Smart Projector, Black

It is quiet enough the fan noise is not noticeable even within few feet of my head. The picture quality is good, but it is not a true 4K. Read the PDF manual which is linked from the web page. I purchased this to use as a PC monitor and needed full resolution, but it turns out the resolution has to be reduced for the best quality. The user interface is easy to use. It has a built-in TV turner which I don't see much use as most people probably use a separate streaming or cable box. The picture is not that bright and cannot be used in daylight. The room does not have to be dark, but it needs a dim room. It can be placed on a table, but ceiling mounting is the best to keep it out of the way. It needs to be horizontally centered at the lens (not the body) for the best focus because it only has vertical adjustment. This was a good starting projector at a reasonable price. I would go for the laser one the next time if I can afford it so that it can be used in daylight.

Well, I'm not a tech guy, just a guy that loves a product with eye pleasing performance. Bought two projectors this week, 1st one ( different brand ) went back and the 2nd, this lg hu70lab I'll be keeping. Photos attached via steaming from Netflix, vudu were right out of the box using firetv 4k and roku ultra. Read a professional review on this lg but it was somewhat negative, surprisingly. I decided to try it anyways because of the sale price and for all that was offered. Setup was easy and seamless with my 2 streaming sticks ( switched to hdr mode flawlessly) , back-lit remote nice, small, lightweight ,easy navigation through lg OS, extremely quiet ( fan noise non issue ), fired up in 6 seconds, shutdown in 2 seconds, auto focus from remote. To my eye what I had seen out of the box on my 120" screen was amazing, beautiful and i was sold. This format for viewing movies, sports, tv shows will replace any furture purchases of 4k televisions. Again, jmho, looking forward to fine tuning this projector even more once I know what I'm doing 😉

Placed the projector in the dedicated movie room. I can control the light in the room very well and the brightness is perfect for that environment. If you wanted to place this in a living room or in a room that has more light it may not work since the brightness is not the best. The picture quality is great and the user interface as well as the menu is very easy to use and the projector was basically set up ready to go immediately. Overall it's a great deal for what you get in my opinion.

The product is a great buy for the price. Be it picture quality, features, OS or remote - all of them are great. I think LG has nailed this one. The only downside is the fact that native OS does not allow you to download multiple apps. However it can be easily overcome if you buy a streaming device like amazon FIRE TV Stick or something.

At this point, I have owned this projector for a few months and can say that it is honestly great! The picture quality is amazing and the screen size is awesome (I have it set up on a 120" widescreen projector screen). I specifically chose to purchase this projector because of 3 major features: 1) Built in 4k Chromecast 2) 4k quality 3) Smart features with smart home hub support Now here is the thing, the built in chromecast and the 4k quality are great, but I mainly wanted to be able to control the projector the same way I control my smart TVs around the home, where I can tell Alexa to turn them on/off. The projector features all mention Alexa support, as well as other smart home hub support. To my surprise, once I received the unit, it turns out that not only is the Alexa smart home features not available, but neither are any other smart home devices. I tried updating the firmware manually, to no avail. I won't lie, the remote control with the pointer features is quite neat, but I was hoping to be able to just control the projector without having to try and find the remote. In any case, if you are looking for an awesome budget projector, this one definitely will fit the bill. Just know that smart home hub services will not work. Built in smart features do work though, like a sort of app store and such.

I purchased this to replace an Optoma UHD-65 with a stuck pixel. I was hesitant due to reviews stating that LED was not as bright as traditional bulbs. I have to say, this is a complete non-issue in my light controlled theater room. It's more than bright enough and I had to dial it back quite a bit to get a well calibrated picture. The reds were still too bright but luckily there's an adjustment for each individual color. The color reproduction is exceptional and the LG picture holds up much better under ambient light than the Optoma did. Casual viewing is quite acceptable with a fair amount of light in the room when watching sporting events, etc. Of course movies, which typically have more dark scenes, will always look better in a darkened room. The backlit remote is quite nice, and the virtual onscreen mouse combined with the built-in smart features is very handy. The ability to watch Netflix, Vudu, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video, etc. without having to fire up the Xbox is something I'll use more than I expected to. If only there was a Hulu app, all my streaming needs would be met. There are ample picture adjustments available, although not all of them are well documented (ie. Dynamic Color, Super Resolution). It may take some experimentation to determine exactly what these do. For now, I've left them turned off. The LG definitely has a shorter throw than my Optoma did, requiring me to move the projector about two feet closed to the screen. But it is much smaller, lighter, and quieter than the Optoma. The decision to separate the power block into a separate unit is unusual. I can understand why they did it (smaller form factor), but for a ceiling mount it's awkward. If you're mounting on a shelf instead, it's probably a net benefit. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase. I watched a number of reviews prior to purchasing, and most of them commented what a good deal this was at $1800. To get it under $1000 was a fantastic bargain.

Took me 8 months before I could finally get this thing installed. I bought it before we started finishing our basement. Anyways- SO worth the wait!!!! Truly an insane projector. We did not even need to buy a screen. We painted an area white with extra ceiling paint, nailed in some black painted trim and made a frame around it!! 10ft 3 inches wide!!!! It’s incredible it’s smart enabled I highly recommend you plug in via Ethernet. Especially if you’re going at 100inches or more.

Guys I have bought 2 projectors prior to this one both were under $300 and some random amazon brands. I honestly enjoyed those they were plug and play grab a level and make sure your mount is zeroed and your ready to go. Yeah they were 1080p but this projector was just a bit over $1K and I love the image quality I can give it that. BUT THE STRUGGLE TO GET THIS TO PROJECT EVENLY AND NOT DISTORTED IS REAL! I have tried everything I flipped it upside down, I adjusted the keystone per the instructions and for whatever reason it has the absolute weirdest angle of projection AND the weirdest most uneven noticeable black background border. I clicked just about every single setting possible to see if it was adjusting issues and nothing solved it. I never knew I suffered from OCD until I bought this projector. My surface was steady and leveled and it just wouldn’t work I’m convinced the product was maybe defective, I’m willing to give this another shot after I return the one I received because there’s just no way this LG projector could actually work this way. The remote didn’t light up as I read in some reviews and some of the buttons didn’t work either such as the button to turn the button lights on, the Amazon assistant or ai assistant , I also I have some serious concerns that the projector I received may have been used and returned already before as it had someone else’s name on the box with another address and the control itself had some signs of use… idk I’m a simple customer. Take my money and give me a product that matches the price I paid. If LG cares to work something out with me I’d be happy to update my review and give this product another shot but I need some assurance here guys!!! Seriously not happy with this product as I have experienced it :/

Excelente image and easy to connect to my jbl sound system by Bluetooth. Despite has Netflix button on the remote control i couldn’t find on the apps to install. Weird because i have a LG TV and have more app options.
