At least what you loose from this you gain by the increased portability this unit has. Unfortunately there is no lens shifting so placing the projector can be a bit more problematic.
The optical system features a 1.25x zoom with a throw ratio of 1.2 – 1.5 which means you can go for a 100″ screen size at 11.2ft(1.25x) ~ 8.9ft(1.0x) while the screen size limits are between 60″ and 140″. Let’s now talk a bit about the lens that LG used in this model. All ports are positioned at the back and we will analyze them in the appropriate section of our review. Just above the lens we get a lever for adjusting the zoom and below them a single circular power button with four arrows around it with the up and down controlling the channels and the left and right ones managing the sound while these can also be used with the single Focus button that is placed below them. The top side follows the general minimalism design as it features only the absolutely necessary. The unit features an asymmetrical design for it’s lens as it have been placed on the left side as we look the projector from the front.īoth left and right side are completely perforated with the left one acting as an air intake and the right one as the outlet vent. We like designs that follow a strict symmetry and probably this is the reason we loved it’s looks. The strongest point of this LG projector lies on it’s simplicity and the white boxy look with the straight lines and slightly curves corners may not turn heads but had something that really made us like it very much. And this is further supported by the simple boxy design without anything extruding that helps with storage and makes moving it around a piece of cake. Coming with a size of 12.4″ x 3.7″ x 8.3″ (314 x 95 x 210 mm) and weighting just 7.1 lbs (3.2Kg) this projector was created with portability in mind. LG has created a very simple design chassis for the HU70LA that comes with an unusually small form factor for a 4K projector even if we are talking about a pixel shifting variant. Now that we cleared the naming difference let’s talk about the actual design of the unit.

So if you see these and wonder if there is any difference between them keep in mind that the HU70LA comes with a built-in Digital TV tuner while the HU70LS doesn’t have this. As such in the US market this unit comes by the name LG HU70LA while in the UK and other European markets you will see it by the name LG HU70LS. The good thing is that in the case of the LG projector there is only a small difference so you shouldn’t have a problem identifying the same model. It’s been a very usual phenomenon for projector manufacturers to use different namings for different markets only adding to consumer confusion. It sounds too good to be true isn’t it? That’s why we are here to put it on the test and see if LG has really created a small powerhouse or there is a catch hiding between all it’s specs and features. What we have here is in reality a 4K pixel shifting DLP LED projector in an unusually small size that comes with LG’s webOS smart platform along with all the bells and whistles this has like online streaming services and voice recognition controls and has a price tag slapped on it that touches the psychological barrier of $1,500. This really seemed like an impossible feat but LG thinks otherwise with the release of this unit.
#LG PROJECTOR HU70LA SERIES#
In today’s LG HU70LA review we will be testing a projector that belongs in LG’s CineBeam series and it’s goal is to combine all the functionality that we see in today’s smart TVs like online streaming and smart functionality along with good image performance all packed in a small box that is easy enough to carry around and do all this at a price that reaches the lower limit of 4K projectors prices. And although there are a few models out there that combine some of these it was hard to find one that would have the whole package and here is where LG comes in as it seems they also thought of the same thing. You will have to choose between good 4K image quality, portability, smart functionality and features and all these at a very low price. Usually when we talk about projectors there are specific limitations depending on what you are looking for.
