$2,499

       The HU80KA is a revolutionary home cinema 4K UHD projector that delivers high resolution and convenience with its new compact, portable design.

       The LG ProBeam 4K UHD (HU80KA) is equipped with webOS, which is incredibly adept at analyzing user data and providing suggestions for what to watch next, whether it’s on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or another streaming service.  The Magic remote also senses motion so that users can easily use webOS with an Air-mouse-like remote. HU80KA has wireless capabilities so that it can easily connect to laptops, smartphones and tablets to watch home videos using a projector. When it is connected to the devices, the projector can automatically find the adequate frequency (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz) so the connection can be reliable.

The projector can produce 8.3 million pixels to create a 4K UHD picture. It also supports HDR10 to deepen the blacks in dark scenes and make brighter scenes more vibrant, recreating content the way it was intended. The device’s Dynamic Black feature analyzes the video’s data to control the power of the light source and enhance black levels through the combination of HDR10 and Dynamic Black. With LG’s proprietary True-Motion technology, the projector analyzes each frame and inserts new frames to create a 60Hz picture, which is smoother and more natural-looking than most video sources, which operate at 24Hz.

       Users of LG’s ProBeam projector can rest assured that the laser light source has a lifespan of up to 20,000 hours, eliminating any worries about dimming or light source replacement. It is also environmentally friendly since it does not burn through costly lamps compose of mercury and uses only 80% of the energy characteristic of lamp projectors. Most lamps only last up to 3,000 hours and need to be changed every 1-2 years.

LG has listened to consumer demands for high-resolution picture quality, environmental friendliness, long-lasting product lifespan, and a small form-factor in addition to developing a portable 4K UHD product that uses a laser light source to continue leading the growing projector market. In the past, projectors have been thought of as products used by AV experts. Research indicates that many of those who do not use projectors find them too difficult to use, too pricy, and there is a lack of 4K contents. Its compact, light-weight, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing design make this projector a total solution for those who may have had concerns about installation, using a projector, finding content to watch, convenient storage features or security.

The world’s smallest 4K projector, this device makes no compromises in brightness, contrast ratio and accurate colors. Its upright shape was designed to ease consumer use, while its mirror reflector and cord reel were added to enhance user friendliness, all at a price within reach for consumers.

        Traditionally, projectors with a flat design require a tripod and are heavy, making them hard to move or install. The LG HU80KA offers a new design form factor and features for convenient usage. Its mirrorless I-shaped engine allows it to sit upright and its semi-auto cable loader enables users to easily store the power cable while not in use. To automatically produce an accurate picture from a variety of angles, the projector comes with the Mirror Reflector and Auto Keystone features.

The projector’s high-tech, outer space-inspired aesthetic comes in a pearl-based Astro Black and Marine Silver color, adding a touch of modern aesthetic to any décor. The projector is highly portable thanks to its aluminum strap, which was inspired through a Premium Entertainment Bento concept. Collaboration with LG’s home appliance division led to the development of the Cord Reel function, which allows users to pull out a coiled power cable at the base of the projector automatically retracts for storage.
