LG CineBeam UHD 4K Projector HU70LA - DLP Home Theater Smart Projector with Alexa Built-In, White

10/10 recommend

Good projector with very clear picture. Unfortunately there is some lag on certain picture settings. If you’re looking for an all in one 4k projector it is definitely worth the money

Great picture but is difficult to see darker scenes in movies even with all the lights off. Love the smart TV feature. Extremely easy to set up. Spend the money for a higher quality projector screen though. Xfinity stream app does not download onto this device. I had to buy a Roku to use that app. Picture quality is better than my 55inch LG 4K tv in the other room.

Ive had this projector for a couple days now and it has blown me away. I upgraded from an old optima hd20 because I wanted 4k hdr and this LG projector delivers both. As long as this projector gets the rated 30k hours usage, ill be completely satisfied. Setup was quick enough, I used an existing ceiling mount from my old projector. When I first turned HU70LA on, it recognized it was upside down and flipped the image automatically, that was a nice touch. Im projecting from about 15ft away onto a 133in screen and the image is plenty bright, even with some ambient light in the room things are still watchable. Something really noticeable, especially in HDR content is how vivid everything looks. The colors are really vibrant. The throw distance im using is about as far away from my screen as i can while not making the image too large for my screen. If you have a longer throw distance you are going to need a bigger screen. I did have to use the keystone alignment, it only adjusts vertically and not horizontally (but i only needed vertical keystone). LGs webOS is integrated just like their TVs. The magic remote is just that. Magic. I really like the motion control cursor and the smart features of the projector. I didnt think i would use them a lot, but it is just really convenient rather than turning on my xbox or apple tv. It is also really easy to have different image presets and swap between them (for example a gaming preset and then a movie preset) CEC works to turn on my receiver so with the one remote it is all I need if im streaming things from webOS. If you have used webOS on any of their recent tvs, no surprises here. its the same great experience. Normally i dont like the smooth motion image interpolation when watching tv or movies, but on a projector and screen this large ive become a quick fan. Everything about it just feels better. (Not for gaming though, only for video content consumption) Being able to play pc games at 1080p and 120hz is pretty amazing. One of the reason i selected this model was for pc gaming on a big screen and not having to sacrifice high refresh rate is absolutely awesome. The input lag on game mode (while im not sure what it is) was not noticeable to me. My only image complaint is the black levels arent super great. They are decent, but when you go watch something darker like Batman the dark knight or Mr Robot, i found I had to turn up the brightness setting on the projector to actually see details in the dark. Doing this washes out the image a little bit, but it still is a great improvement over my old projector. I just made a preset for darker things and switch to it when needed. It would also be nice if the power supply was internal so it used a normal plug to the projector from the wall rather than using a power brick, but i feel like that is really nitpicky. In my situation i just zip tied it to my ceiling projector mount arm and called it good. It isnt as clean as an install though as just plugging a cable directly from the outlet into the projector. Also wanted to make a quick note, make sure that you get cables rated for 4k@60hz (18Gbps). I first tried with an old high speed cable that was only rated for 4k@24hz (10.2Gbps) and I couldnt push 4k content to the projector. Just keep cabling in mind when getting a projector like this. EDIT: After using this projector for a little over a month I tried to get the Disney+ app on it but it is not supported. This projector is running webos 3 instead of 4 (you need 4 for the more recent channels like disney+). My LG TV bought in 2017 has been updated with webos 4 and can get Disney+ so im hoping that LG updates the projector as well at some point.

For the price its not bad, and Im able to get a 120 screen of HD actions. Ive yet to use it with any other devices like an Xbox or Blu Ray player. But for the HD 4K content Im getting from Amazon Prime, and Netflix Im impressed. It was a bit to get installed since Im using a ceiling mount and walls that arent quite level. So getting the screen to fit just right took quite a bit of time. I think if I had to do it over again I would have just saved all my money and got the ultra short throw projector I had been eyeing for months now. I feel like that would have been a lot less of a headache to deal with. Overall for the price and the size of screen this thing produces I think its a fantastic entry level 4K long throw projector. And it may be worth the extra cash to have a professional company come and mount it up for you if you choose to go ceiling mount with this thing.

Amazing projector great quality, and I wish I tried a mid level projector to be able to truly compare.

I cannot think of a bad thing to say about this projector. The input, picture and setup is really easy and very good. The build in Alexa and Android TV sells itself

Super easy to set up, picture was easy to focus. It’s actually so bright that we usually use it on medium power saver mode which dims it a bit. Picture is very sharp, good contrast. It’s also whisper quiet, where we positioned it is basically right next to where we sit a head level, so any noise at all would be obvious, and there is virtually none.

Pixelation is active 4k. These are not native 4k. Not bright enough for this price. Overpriced

Hi, I am the fan of LG projector. I am always looking for LG projector before other brand. I am current own the LG PF85U . I love this projector . Thru the years I had try many previous model of LG LED projectors . I dont find any issue to complain about. Now come to this 4K I have had try to tune , twisted this projector for my viewing eyes . I find out this projector has issues with TV broadcasting program . It shows blur images not as clear as the LG PF85U . May be because the program isnt in 4K ??? When I watch the movies is OK .
