Those looking for a portable 4K projector may want to check out the CineBeam Qube as LG unveils its retro-looking device set to debut at CES 2024. The CineBeam Qube is a bit on the small side of things at 80 x 135 x 135 mm and LG is quick to point out how inconspicuously it can blend in on a bookshelf looking like a camera from another age. This small footprint also makes it incredibly easy to use its equipped handle for transporting that can rotate 360°. The CineBeam Qube can project media up to 120″ using a laser-based RGB light source and includes auto keystone adjustment and autofocus.
While not incredibly bright at 500 ANSI lumens it could still be fun in dark environments and supports HDR10. Connectivity options include wireless Android/iOS and HDMI, supporting eARC, as well as USB Type-C. As LG unveils its retro-looking projector it has not indicated if the device includes a battery option or MSRP but has said that the CineBeam Qube does run on LG’s webOS 6.0 giving the device access to a huge range of apps for streaming without the need for connecting it to another device. LG has also said that users can project images to enhance their space when not viewing other media.
Press Release (via LG newsroom):
LG Electronics (LG) is introducing its latest lifestyle projector, the unique LG CineBeam Qube (model HU710PB). The new 4K model can quickly transform an indoor space into a movie theater and features a compact and light design with a convenient 360-degree rotatable handle. LG’s projection solution also serves as a stylish interior accessory, its eye-catching minimalist aesthetic adding a touch of modern sophistication to the room.
Although one of the smallest projectors available, LG CineBeam Qube is a powerful performer, capable of projecting 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution images measuring up to 120 inches. Equipped with an RGB laser light source and LG’s cutting-edge image refining technologies, the new model delivers exceptionally clear, sharp pictures boasting a 450,000:1 contrast ratio and 154 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
The color accuracy of the CineBeam Qube means movies and other content are displayed just as their creators intended, with rich colors and deep blacks that add depth and vibrancy to every scene. Additionally, LG’s premium 4K projector comes with Auto Screen Adjustment, which has an auto-focus feature that automatically optimizes image placement and size for a superb viewing experience, every time.
Running on the LG webOS 6.0, the CineBeam Qube provides intuitive control and easy access to a diverse selection of streaming services, such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and YouTube.* When not in use for content consumption, users can turn on the projector’s image-mapping function and enjoy captivating digital images that enhance the ambiance of their space.
“Great for spaces large and small, LG CineBeam Qube is a unique lifestyle projector possessing all the qualities consumers look for when choosing a new projection solution,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “LG’s upgraded projector lineup offers a range of lifestyle-enriching devices that present outstanding spatial integration and versatility as well as immersive, cinematic viewing experiences.”
