LG has just announced its latest 4K projector, the CineBeam Qube. It will officially unveil the projector at CES 2024 in early January, but the company is offering curious consumers an early look. The CineBeam Qube has plenty of high-tech features, but with a sleek design that LG calls “minimalist.”" There is also a handle that looks like a crank.
Yes, this thing has real control. CineBeam Qube is designed to be portable. It's lightweight, weighing about three pounds, and its square shape makes it easy to place anywhere. The 360-degree rotating handle also helps with placement. LG calls it “one of the smallest projectors available.”
Of course, the most important part of any projector is, well, the projection. The Qube projects 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution images measuring up to 120 inches. There's an RGB laser light source, a 450,000:1 contrast ratio, and 154 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. With these specifications, that episode of Reacher will really explode.
Speaking of streaming content, the projector runs LG webOS 6.0 and offers access to all the big streaming services, including Prime Video, Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube. However, Prime Video is about to force ads on everyone, and nothing ruins a projector-based movie party more than ads.
This projector also includes the company's image mapping feature, which maps your space and displays an image on top of everything. This is to create a unique atmosphere, such as flooding the room with an image of the night sky or deep nature. It even includes LG's automatic brightness adjustment algorithm, found in many of the company's high-end projectors.
CineBeam Qube has no release date and no pricing information is available. However, LG is making the projector a big part of its CES presentation, so maybe we'll know more in January.
