LG CineBeam Q Review - The SMALLEST 4K Laser Projector Ever! 👀 [2024] 

Hey Chaps! Would you switch to a projector?? (Use Code TECHCHAP100 for $100 Off) Correction: It only has 1 speaker, not 2.

Oh technology. Progress a little more slowly. Whatever I buy, a new thing will come tomorrow. I don't have any money anymore, my money is gone.

You can use the handle for controlling the angle of the view instead of the book you used. 😂

It’s so cute! 🥹

This looks awesome!!!

How was your gaming experience regarding the input lag? Specially that GOW ragnarok on 120" looked amazing.

What about Anker Nebula Capsule 3? How would you say that compares to this one?

I'm still use LG projie PW600G, 600 ANSI since 2015. Although still 720p but coming with 1:100.000 contrast ratio still look okay.

Hello, does it have automatic obstacle avoidance?

that holder can also be used as ａstand, so you don’t need that book 😂😂

I wonder what is the power usage comparison for something like this versus a 65 inch flat panel TV.

excited for mobile projector tech!

It's a DC Power port yes? So I could just get a 12V - DC power cable and plug into a 12V kings portable battery?

Hello! I'm about to decide if I buy this nice tiny piece of technology as it fits with what I need (projections from a bed/couch in a dark / dimmed environment). Portability, Auto-Keystone, Resolution and Contrast (0.47'' chip compared to the 0.23'' chip most portable projectors have) are the key decision drivers compared to other portable projectors on the market with better brightness (Halo+, Mars III Air, PicoPix Max TV). No battery is a shame but not a no-go (external bank will do it), more Lumens would have been great but I guess this will be for the next version(s) of this new series. Thankfully I've got a good sound system at home so the small speaker of this projector shouldn't be too much of a problem. The only question mark is about the video game input lag: was it OK when you played? Any measurement? I couldn't find the info regarding this aspect on LG's website or anywhere else. Cheers!

Any recommendations for a 4K for half the price? This is too expensive.

This thing on the ceiling would be insane

One downside of the Halo+ is that you can't correct the keystone in gaming mode, so you have to position/range it pefectly - I wonder if this projector allows for that?

that looks like a neat projector... hope you enjoyed clarkson and the boys😂😂

Hey do you know what projection tech that this projector use? If it's dlp, then what size of chip it's using? I'm disappointed on its brightness, only 500 ansi although it uses 3 laser channels as the light source, which is one of the best tech for enhancing brightness. Anyway, its design is awesome but the quality will be down a bit because of its brightness, also I wonder how good is its sound as with small size comes with less bass.

Your reviews are always interesting, well paced and presented. Ever thought of doing it for a living? 😂

I think it’s unique being so small, 4k and laser. I think it looks great, cost aside. The battery issue can be half tackled by using a PD battery bank via the usb C port. Really like the 120hz 1080p mode, didn’t know it could do that.

Nebula Capsule 3 is reasonably price, if 1080p and 300 lumen is enough. For evening movie and tv serie, not an issue, with battery build-in.

What about upcoming Xgimi Horizon Max vs BenQ W5800 ?

I would have been interested in the size of the power supply as it can affect portability…

looks classic industrial design looks the part only thing as you mentioned if the lumens were better like 1500 to 2000 and had a external battery arrangement along with hdmi ports and better sound this would have rocked.......nice to see👍

What racing game was shown? it looked like a NASCAR race?

Will the handle not flip around and prop it up instead of the book?

I love your videos but can you please include some disclaimer in them to state whether the devices have been sent by the manufacturer and whether or not there has been any sponsorship etc. I think it's very important that you are as transparent as possible. Your channel has awesome quality content so doing the right thing as far as transparency goes will earn you life long subscribers.

do you know you can use the handle to tilt it up instead of that book?

It seems good value to me, reasonable price.

Is there anything more affordable for 4k? I feel like native 4k projectors are always $1500 or more.

Is it good with 3d

Can you make a video of competitor projectors of this form?

One thing that was not included in the video which I think should be included in every projector review is what kind of image technology it uses. Yes, it’s laser, but that’s only the light source. As for the imaging device, I suppose it uses a DLP chip? In that case, is it a single laser light source with a color wheel, or is it a triple laser light source without color wheel? How does the projector actually achieve 4K? Does it use a 1920x1080 0.47” DMD chip combined with XPR pixel shifting to achieve a 3840x2160 resolution? (I suppose it does, since true 4K imaging chips is impossible to manufacture at this price point.) Can it do 120 Hz in 4K mode as well, or is that only in 1080p mode? Most DLP projectors in this price range only do 60 Hz at pixel shifted 4K, and can only achieve refresh rates higher than 60 Hz if they are being fed with a 1080p signal (which disables the XPR). It would have been nice to see some more detailed info regarding these things. Great video otherwise, and thanks for the review.

When you say metallic finish, you mean plastics - right? I got an offer 200 € less and leather case preordering this but I have not found a reason that justifies the expense. Playing games and watching soccer would been, but those are either behind a paywall or streaming limitations … so … guess not for that plastic chassis.

Does the handle not double as a kickstand alternative? Seems like a missed opportunity

good for camping

I'm not sure if i like how it looks like🧐🤔 Functionality seems great. But 500ansi lumens by a 4k projector? This device confuses me😅

Love the look and size .price bit much for avrage user

Since it’s only 1080p @ 120hz, I don’t really get why HDMI 2.1 is part of the marketing. What is it doing to need more than 18 GB bandwidth through HDMI

if they -would limit it to 1080p/full hd (if possible while retaining the HDR support for downscaled 4K HDR sources) -make it a little bit bigger (form factor) and hopefully therefore brighter (lumen) at the same time -make it drastically cheaper 600-700€ … i wouldn‘t think about it and buy it as a secondary/portable projector. Imo I dont see the necessity for 4k/HDR for such a small portable projector (at least not in the next five years), e.g. for watching a movie at friends house who dont have a projector or playing something like mario kart

I would assume that you would save some money on your electricity bill, because people like me with a 75 inch TV. The monthly bill is crazy.

500 lumens.. ouch

No 3.5mm audio out?

No audio out? No threaded mounting hole underneath? Major oversight. This has very limited use

This thing not having an included battery or not being able to be powered by an external battery (I assume since you didn't mention it), is quite an oversight considering the whole design of this thing.

I want something about 10x this size with 10x the performance

How close it can focus? 15 - 26 cm?

does somebody know if its compatible with sonos wifi speakers?

It’d be great to see you review the BenQ HT2060, as it’s widely considered the best bang for your buck projector by experts in the AV field, and it’d provide a benchmark in measuring other projectors like LG’s cinebeam

Looks like the HAL unit had a baby

Not for $2k AUD here in Australia! Perhaps the steep premium is for the 4K, but I would rather spend half the money on either the XGIMI Elfin or Halo+ (or a chinese market Z7X). Only 1080p but I would take the extra brightness over the 4K anyday of the week (Z7X for example is 1200 ANSI lumens vs the Cinebeam 500 ANSI lumens)

I'm still not sure about this, there aren't a lot of people who are reviewing this, websites, blogs or other sources. That kind of unnerves me, surely with a product push with a price tag like this they should be giving this to loads of tech channels and get the hype up?

We have a roof deck. Been considering a halfway decent portable projector for movie nights. This might be too expensive.

Interesting

Want

Hey Tom, how do you feel about basically doing TV shopping?

It would have been great if it had an extra HDMI port.

in home demo is going to sell more of these. i know i would be afraid of making a bad financial decision.

for a beautiful sleak design, the remote is hiddeous....

Nice bit of kit, £1,030 I'm not sure 🤔.

I think for the price you're better off buying 2 Samsung freestyle Gen 2 projectors and using its feature where you can have them overlapping in ultrawide that way it will be brighter and high res. Would work out the same price or cheaper depending where you get it from...

Looks so sleek, but 1300$?? At that price at least include a decent looking remote.

brightness, only 500 ansi. :(

The most good image you can get with 500ls is 65 inch screen..

Paint it green and hold in in front of your head and scream "in the brightest day, in the darkest night.........!!" 😅

Love the design, but not tempted. Now, if it had the UST capability in that box .... That would be a different story.

Should be at least 1.500 ansi lumens.

Good for school teachers on expenses.

Pre order discount code

My prediction is meaningless - but it would be these will not be flying off the shelves. They'll sell a few but likely not enough to recoup their entire cost to bring it to market.

What are the rivals to this?

4k or fake 4k with pixel shift ?

Omg ! It is laser technology but I could see a lot of rainbow effect here ! Too bad LG :(

Cost 2-3 times more than it should.

Nice bit of kit, but too dim and too expensive to be a viable option. An external battery option would be useful, but there's no getting away from that poor light level.

It‘s not native 4K hough… but for the price it‘s still nice.

Anyone hear, "Hey guys! I'm TomaTechChap"? Never found out what he's really saying lol

if this had android i would have considered it but i hate their webOS!

LG doesn't even come clean about which DLP chip they used.

No! Don’t put a battery in it next time. It loses its portability when it gets bigger and heavier. If you’re going camping just use a power bank which is just a sensible piece of kit these days anyways.

This projector needs a built in lens cover.

the price auch..

This year come cheap mini LED TVs

its not native 4K!! its Resolution (native) is only Full HD (1920x1080)!

LOL I got a Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 few years ago for 350 euro. It's just as small and good looking and yeah 4k is nice but how better it is for 4 times what I paid for

1 HDMI isn't enough if you have a Sonos sound bar and need to connect a gaming console!

Looks like it's one for parties and not a home setup.

Does it have 3d support and does it have optical zoom? Without it… Dealbreaker, sorry.

Walle??? More like Hal from the movie 2001

Nice design but not for that price

Not that one not enough lumens

Insane that it is that small. Incredible. Edit: Its only 1200 bucks!? That's honestly cheap for what you're getting.

Definitely not a giveaway 😢

for the price and the 500ansi - don't think it's worth it.

hi baber

I'm sorry Dave....i cant projcect to 130...

Not having a battery is an issue, should at least have enough battery for two hours to watch a movie

Wait it's not an Apple product 😮
