LG 4K UHD LED Smart Home Theater CineBeam Projector – HU70LAB

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a Home theater system has always been my idea of enjoying a good movie with a family, however splurging over $5000 on a 77" OLED TV is a bit too much and having an 85" LED TV would overtake our living room space, so LG HU70LAB 4K UHD LED Smart Home Theater CineBeam Projector came to our rescue! It is compact, has smart Web OS and produces a beautiful 4K picture! And what is more this LG CineBeam projector can produce up 140" display! Yes, 4K quality , with up to 1500 ANSI Lumens Brightness and HDR10 & TruMotion technology . There is so much more in this small projector, however I wanted to share my experience with it as well. The set up was very easy and straight forward. If you ever owned an LG TV or any similar smart TV, it is pretty much the same set up process. LG Web OS is built in in this projector and it is very intuitive and fluid, and it walked me up through the initial set up. This projector comes with a nice white Magic Remote control I am very familiar with because I already own an LG TV. As I mentioned the Web OS on this projector is extremely fast and intuitive and offers a slew of apps from YouTube, Prime TV to Netflix, and other entertainment content. Here is one amazing feature this projector has that differentiates it from other projectors - TV tuner! Yes, you can connect your antenna and scan for available local HD channels and you got yourself free TV content like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and lots of other channels you may never heard of. I think this is so smart of LG to offer TV Tuner! Now to the viewing experience, my family was simply floored when I projected almost 140" movie on the wall. The 4K picture quality is crisp and vivid! You can see lots of detail, and the darker the room the better the results. I also tried using this projector in the daylight and it worked good, however you may want to have it installed in a room with some curtains. One thing I have to mention that needs to be addressed is the sound. I would highly recommend connecting a soundbar for best results. There is an HDMI input that supports Audio Return Channel and it will be a huge upgrade to your sound stage. The projector itself has a built-in speaker, however it is not very loud. We are very pleased with this home theater projector, it will be definitely used a lot for movies, video games and other entertainment. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to save some money and space to get this LG miracle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me begin by saying this projector is the best projector I have ever owned. When I first recieved this unit I tried it on the bare wall and it looked pretty good. Then I purchased a 120" 4k screen and big difference. I was blown away by the picture quality. The smart features worked flawlessly. The apps load right away. There is quite a few apps to choose from. Movies load with not too much buffer time. The remote is one of my favorite features. Love the way I can just point the remote to the screen and the cursor moves around screen like a computer mouse. With the built in Alexa I was able to just talk to the remote and it responded right away. I was really impressed with the built in speakers but when watching a movie I paired my bluetooth soundbar and it was way better. The 4k video is awesome. I hooked up my video game console to the projector and it handled it very well. Even with a couple of wrinkles on my screen the picture quality of the projector was great. I had movie night with my kids and they loved it. I cant wait to host fight night with this projector. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG HU70LAB CineBeam Projector offers amazing picture quality, features and brightness at a low cost, for a 4K projector. It is packed with features including auto-focus (so you never have to worry about getting the picture perfectly crisp), smart apps (including TV Tuner, Netflix, YouTube, etc. which is great since you don't have to hook anything up to it), zoom feature if you need to make it fit a wall, Google Assistant / alexa (no typing to search for shows!) , and HDR10 with Dynamic Tone Mapping (better, brighter colors that are truer to the original). I was so surprised how vibrant and bright the colors were, even when I was using it in the day light! One of my favorite features is the remote it comes with. It is so intuitive, and the fact that it works like a mouse makes it easy to navigate the various menus and smart TV options. The only downside to the projector is the speakers. While they work if you are sitting by the projector, or if you want to watch a movie somewhere other than your home setup, you won't be happy with them long term. I would definitely recommend having a soundbar or surround sound setup to complement the projector. After having tested the projector inside, and outside for a movie night with friends, I'm confident in recommending the HU70LAB if you're looking for a high quality 4K projector. It delivers amazing picture quality, is packed with features, and has the versatility to fill a wide range of needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's hard to write a detailed review against the competition, but I went with this projector since it is like having a LG TV. The fact that I can go between streaming and actual TV made this choice easy. The picture is amazing even in a slightly lit room. With over head lights on in my basement entertainment area, the picture is still great. I love the apps that are able to be downloaded straight to the projector. I would like to see them get more apps available though. The features and settings are all easy to use. I really like the magic remote. The zooming and focusing is super simple and keystone correction works well also. I was able to get this unit on sale so that took some of the sting away from the sticker price. I also bought this unit because in theory it should be the last projector I need for quite sometime. Highly Recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product. Unboxing it was a breeze and made my day that much easier. Probably my favorite thing about this projector is that it is Bluetooth enabled so I dont have to have a thousand cords running to the projector or have my media center anywhere close to it honestly. I have the power cord and one hdmi cord ran to it and everything else is bluetooth for us. One thing that I wish was an option on this projector was Hulu streaming services. While searching the store for it, its not listed anywhere to be able to add it to this projectors apps . I dont have cable and use only streaming services so that is a downfall for me. I have my projector hooked up to a surround sound receiver which sounds amazing. If it wasn't hooked up to it, I use just the speakers in the projector itself which are of great quality. Very loud and good sound. It doesn't get distorted at all when at maximum volume. The picture quality is breathtaking. The remote is really responsive so long as you are pointing in the direction of the projector itself. There are 2 viewing lenses for it and without the remote being able to see those, it goes a little wonky. The cursor on it is very responsive. I love it. Overall its a 10/10 rating from my family .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost this is an amazing home theater projector. Perfect size as it is not too bulky or too small. With 15000 Lumins this projector gives off an amazing 4K picture. The blacks are true blacks and the colors are very vibrant. This projector is feature packed with LG Contents store that allows you to install various apps. 2x HDMI and 1 USB-C allows for external connects to devices such as gaming consoles and media streaming devices. This CineBeam projector has Google Assistant and Alexa Capabilities which worked wonderfully. The sound quality from the internal speakers are average. I strongly suggest using an external speaker system for larger spaces as the sound could get lost. LG's Content store for the projector is ok. The Magic remote is east to use and very responsive. The remote has dedicated Netflix and Amazon Video buttons which worked well. Built into this system is the ability to recognize external devices such as my Nintendo Switch which is really cool. A litany of mobile apps allow you to use a tablet or mobile device as a remote as well. From 9' away you get an 84" screen and can max out at around 120". The setup for this projector was super easy. My only wish for this device is to have more video streaming apps available or the ability to cast apps from an external device to the projector. The response rate of video and sound is amazing. I give the LG CineBeam HU70LAB projector a 5/5 stars . I only wish for the price that there are more apps available .

This has been by far, the greatest piece of entertainment equipment I've purchased, it does everything my LG tv does but bigger and better. Unfortunately, I ran through a lil' problem, I have to send it out to the manufacturer to fix and I'm still waiting to get it back...kept saying “internal temp is too high” then shut off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in Oct. 2020, love the crisp image and smart functionalities. We ran into an issue with the image and have sent it in for repair. Other than this minor issue almost a year later it's been great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have YouTube TV, Hulu, HBO Max, Fubo TV, ect...don't bother because the LG content store doesn't provide those apps. The HU70LAB is not compatible with those apps. Major negative for me. The quality of picture is pretty good so I gave it 3 stars for that. Don't purchase this product if you're looking for a projector with a good app store. LG dropped the ball on this one.
