LG has stated that the brightness reaches up to at 2,500 lumens, making it the brightest projector from the company until now. Apart from the 4K resolution, LG also provides HDR video support with HDR10. The projector’s portability and upright design have been attributed to the mirrorless L-shaped engine which allows the projector to be positioned on the floor, mounted to the wall, or hung from the ceiling.
The LG HU80KA projector allows you the privilege to play media via a USB drive as well as enabling you to connect an external keyboard and mouse. In terms of sound, LG has placed two 7-watt speakers in the projector but it can be connected to external speakers or soundbars. Other audio output options include optical, HDMI, and Bluetooth.
The LG 4K UHD projector runs webOS which means that most of the big streaming apps will be integrated out of the box. LG has not yet revealed the price and availability details regarding the HU80KA projector. All of LG’s 2018 projector series will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show to be held in Las Vegas. LG is also set to showcase the latest version of its portable MiniBeam Projector (model PF50K), featuring webOS 3.5 and Full HD resolution.
