Model [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]4K[/abc], the LG CineBeam S is based on a triple laser [abc]RGB[/abc] light source, which explains its announced performance, particularly for the coverage of the 154% DCI-P3 gamut. The integration of a laser light source also implies improved ergonomics to avoid replacing the lamps regularly for example.
LG PU615U (CineBeam S), technical specifications specified££££
In terms of the newly known specifications of the LG PU615U, it is worth mentioning the presence of two speakers with a power of 2 x 4 W, the protocols [abc]AirPlay 2[/abc] and [abc]Miracast[/abc], a second USB-C port and HDR HGiG.
LG CineBeam S, a unique design££££
A remarkable aspect of the LG CineBeam S is its design, which is very different from that of conventional video projectors. It has a rectangular shape, a size close to that of a satellite speaker (110 x 160 x 160 mm) and a weight of 2.45 kg.
LG PU615U, 500 lumens peak and Dolby Atmos££££
The creator of the LG CineBeam S indicates that its brightness performance reaches 500 lumens peak. Thus, the LG PU615U is capable of projecting images from 40'' (102 cm) to 100'' (254 cm) for a displayed contrast ratio of 450,000:1. And of course, its projection ratio of 0.25 requires a distance of only a few dozen centimeters.
The specifications of the LG CineBeam S open the doors to the living room, in the absence of those of the Home Cinema room, to enjoy a sports broadcast, a gaming session and even occasionally a film or a series. Moreover, in its presentation of the LG PU615U, the Korean manufacturer mentions its cinematic qualities with deep blacks and rich colors. Finally, [abc]HDR HLG[/abc] and [abc]HDR10[/abc] compatibility are standard, and the onboard stereo sound system is compatible with [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc].
LG CineBeam S, ergonomics and connectivity££££
Like an increasing number of video projectors, the LG CineBeam S has automatic focus and Keystone correction (trapezoidal) that prevents focus and geometry errors. A good point for a portable video projector that may need to move from one projection location to another. Likewise, it adapts the projection to the color of the wall. And it is prepared for almost all eventualities with its Screen Scaling/Shifting features.
The CineBeam S's connectivity is simple, but the essentials are there, with an [abc]HDMI[/abc] input with the [abc]eARC[/abc] function (to retrieve the sound from the projector and send it to a sound bar or a Home Cinema system) and two [abc]USB[/abc] Type-C ports, not to mention wireless support for Android and iOS systems.
LG PU615U, WebOS££££
The LG PU615U is equipped with the WebOS interface allowing full access to the main [abc]streaming[/abc] UHD 4K services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube…
Availability imminent. Approximate price still unknown.
