LG 4K HDR projector HU80KA

If you thought LG's biggest screen at CES this year was going to be an 88-inch 8K OLED TV, think again. The company has just revealed its new HU80KA projector capable of producing a 150-inch display.

As The Verge reports, LG is joining the likes of Sony and Dell by introducing a projector capable of outputting 4K as well as supporting HDR using HDR10. That means you can hook up either an Xbox One X or PS4 Pro and take full advantage of the visuals on offer while enjoying that 150-inch output.

Typically, projectors still require a TV cabinet or table of some sort to sit on, but that's not the case for LG's projector. It is tall and thin and designed to sit directly on the floor. Alternatively, you can mount it on a wall or attach it to a ceiling. LG also claims it is half the size of other 4K projectors on the market.

The HU80KA is capable of 2,500 lumens of brightness and includes two 7-watt speakers in its casing. Optical, HDMI, and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to hook up a better audio solution, which I'm sure most owners will want to do to create that movie-theater-at-home experience.

There's also a USB port allowing for media playback from a hard drive or USB stick, as well as Ethernet and HDMI ports. The projector runs webOS 3.5 to allow access to all your favorite streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.

LG isn't revealing pricing just yet, but likely will during CES next week where the projector has already won the CES 2018 Best of Innovation award. For reference, Dell's 100-inch 4K HDR projector costs $5,999, while Sony's 4K projector is $5,000. LG describes the HU80KA as an "affordable yet premium device," so hopefully it is priced well below $5K.
