LG's Latest Cinebeam Projector Is Ultra Affordable, But There's A Catch

LG is expanding its range of Cinebeam home theater projectors with the new LG PH30N launching on June 10 for just $399 (about $300, AU$600). The LG PH30N joins the rest of the Cinebeam range, which includes the excellent LG HU70, HU80 and HU85, but it differs from everyone in one key area: resolution. While all other Cinebeam projectors offer 4K at 3840 x 2160 resolution, the PH30N will only have 1280 x 720 HD resolution up to 100 inches with a maximum brightness of less than 250 lumens. That said, knowing that the LG HU80 and LG HU85 cost $2,000 (about $2,400 / AU$3,600) and $6,000 (about $4,860, AU$8,750) respectively, you save a ton of money by buying the newer model. and cheaper. The other silver lining to the LG PH30N is that while it can't quite compete with its 4K brethren in terms of resolution or brightness, it can run on battery power for about two hours before needing to be recharged, and at 1lbs it can be carried around quite a bit. ease.

A projector for all budgets.

The latest LG Cinebeam projector focuses on affordability and creating a product that works for all kinds of customers, things for hardcore moviegoers and things for home entertainment enthusiasts looking to get wet. feet for the first time with projection equipment. The LG PH30N is definitely the latter than the former. We'll have to test the projector in our own homes before we can draw any conclusions about its performance, but for those looking for a cheap portable projector for an outdoor movie night, it might work just fine.
