Ultra-portable projectors are all the rage right now. All sorts of weird and wonderful designs have found their way onto our test benches in recent months – but none has looked quite as darned cute as the gleaming, metal-clad LG CineBeam Q.
The CineBeam Q ships with a glossy white remote control that follows the design of the ‘magic’ remote you get with LG’s TVs, and its carry handle doubles as a stand. The ‘Q’ claims to deliver a huge 450,000:1 contrast ratio from an RGB laser lighting system, and its 500 lumens of brightness are said to deliver a picture up to 120 inches across.
Silver linings…
As we would expect of an ultra-portable projector these days, the CineBeam Q carries built-in wi-fi and a smart system, so you can instantly access content without any external devices. Unlike most projectors, though, the CineBeam Q’s smart system is LG’s excellent webOS (gen 6) platform. There’s support for LG’s ThinQ voice command system, too.
