In this video I’ve got the new XGIMI Horizon Ultra, Hisense C1, and NOMVDIC P1000 and I’ll be comparing them to the JMGO N1 Ultra which was the top performer in my last video based on specs alone, and the Formovie X5, which was my pick for best all-around 4K lifestyle projector. I haven’t made any decisions yet, but when I do, you will be the first to know about it! That’s about it – for more details on the LG HU85LA, visit my full review of the projector.It’s only been four months since my last 4K lifestyle projector showdown, but since then three new projectors have been released that are absolutely redefining the modern projector space. This LG, along with a couple of others, is one I am looking at. I am considering an ultra short throw projector for my living room in Florida, when we move at the end of this month. Casual gamers should be fine with this LG, but it will be less-than-satisfactory for those hardcore competitive gamers. By the way – the input lag of this projector measured at mid-50’s, which is considered right on the edge of “okay” for gaming. With an ultra short throw, you’ll never run the risk of your spouse or child walking in front of the projection mid-shot while playing Call of Duty or Battlefield 5 online. Speaking of ultra short throw, this is a desirable trait in a projectors for gamers. ![]() That it is ultra short throw makes it particularly fitting for a living room type environment, as the projector will sit just inches from the screen, on a low table or credenza, keeping it as out of the way as a TV would be. Nicely bright – enough so to cut through the ambient light coming from your windows or your overhead lights – so you’ll be able to watch your favorite TV shows, sports and movies any time of day, no problem. Overall, the LG HU85LA is a fine projector for the common rooms of your home. The projector automatically switches to HDR when using 4K, but it only supports HDR10 – not HGL for broadcast. Black levels are decent and suitable for a bright room projector in a room that's not pitch black. The LG HU85LA has several modes pumped up for cutting through ambient light – in its brightest mode, it even beat its claim. In 4K, it could not get to P3, but overall, color looks rather good in the best modes this projector. The presumption is that you have all those lumens because you’re in room that is not perfectly dark, or even close – and perhaps you even like to watch sporting events with friends with the light on in the room.Įric calibrated this projector and the color came out rather good. This is a bright room projector that wasn't designed for the dedicated home theater, although it will be perfectly at home in one. Ultimately, though, it is the picture of that counts. Basically, my devices were all talking to each other, and with the smarts they have, things like this happen without any programming on my part. I did not have to do anything special beyond, of course, getting the projector onto my local Wi-Fi, and already having my Apple TV working. ![]() From our experience with a significant number of laser projectors on the commercial side, and on the home theater side, dual lasers done right makes a real difference, and that is an advantage of the HU85LA. I should point out that some of the other ultra short throw laser projectors will be priced lower because they are using single laser engines. Let's explore the LG further: The LG HU85LA is a 2,700 lumen, 4K UHD projector using DLP technology and a dual laser light engine. It is part of a growing trend, and in the coming months, you'll see a number of new ultra short throw projectors hitting the market that are similar to the LG in several ways. ![]() The LG is one of the first of a new generation of projectors designed to bring a large screen experience into the common rooms of your home. ![]() The LG HU85LA is not just a most-impressive projector in terms of picture, but it is almost certainly the smartest and most well thought out serious home entertainment/home theater projector on the planet! That’s high praise, coming from us.
