LG - HU70LA 4K UHD LED Smart Home Theater CineBeam Projector

I have been all projector since 2020. Slowly went up in quality from a budget $200 projector, then the LG HU70LA, and as of last year I’ve upgraded to the LG UST Cinebeam HW with a fresnel light rejecting screen. All were projecting 110-120”. It’s just such a better viewing experience, both on eyes and size/detail than a tv. I did pickup an LG C1 OLED for competitive gaming due to the 120hz low lag 2.1 HDMI that I use in another room now that I’ve been getting serious about gaming. I think gaming competitively is the only case where projectors fall short.

I love my projector, but it’s an investment. I started off with a $200 1080p Amazon projector. A few years later I upgraded to the $1700 Lg hu70LA 4k short throw projector. Just recently moved to a new place and we finally went all in on an $6000 ultra short throw (UST) projector. If you’re interested in one, start cheap and small and see if you like it. Learn the setup, specialized issues, etc. and see if you find it worth it. If you do then you can start building. The UST is the most like a tv. Easy set up and right up against the wall. However it is also 6x as expensive as a comparable TV in terms of clarity. Mine is set up for 120”, and there is no tv that compares. I don’t miss having a tv. I like the lack of eye fatigue from not staring at light bulbs, and everyone in my house loves the size. I love fiddling with the thing too. However, it is not for everyone, and if you want something easy just get a tv.

Same on an LG HU70LS

I once tried the LG 4k projector(native), the one that comes with a handle and is a tall rectangular box like structure. I didn't see much of a difference between the Epson 5050Ube and the LG projector, when I compared a 4K disc. I am commenting this as a lay person, I did no do much tweaking.
