Product review summary
This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.
The LG CineBeam UHD 4K Projector HU70LAB is an excellent choice for a home theater projector. Users have praised its low price relative to other premium projectors and great color contrast and black levels when paired with a Cinegrey screen. The projector can throw at least a 110” screen from about 10 feet and can likely go a bit bigger. The LG UI makes it feel like using a smart TV, and the backlit remote is a nice touch. Gaming works well, and the input lag is not noticeable for non-competitive games. However, the projector lacks horizontal/vertical lens shift and horizontal keystone adjustment, which can make it challenging to line up perfectly. Also, it does not have HBO MAX with LG UI as of this review, and the black levels are not super great.
