The carrying case makes it perfect to tote the projector off back home too. A very solid device, the Pico feels great on in hand and this portability does not mean that it compromises durability.
Visual Performance: Crisp 4K Clarity
The LG CineBeam Q certainly lives up to the picture quality. This projector features an impressive 4K UHD resolution, which provides detailed and clear images. Fitted with a 3840×1600 pixel resolution, you get an unparalleled level of detail that really draws you into the scene — whatever your choice of media (movies, gaming and streaming)
The CineBeam Q supports HDR10, which broadens the dynamic range in terms of color and helps improve overall black levels as well as bright whites. This gives even scenes with high contrast so much detail yet well defined. The projector also excels in color accuracy, presenting vivid and true-to-life colors which each viewing experience a feast for the eyes.
Another aspect worth mentioning is the brightness. The CineBeam Q offers up to 1,500 ANSI lumens, which is sufficient for most indoor environments. However, it’s worth noting that in very bright rooms or outdoor settings during the day, the image may not appear as bright. For optimal viewing, we recommend using the projector in a dimly lit room or after sunset if you’re outdoors.
Smart Features: A Projector That Does More
Beyond its good looks and picture quality, the LG CineBeam Q also offers some intelligent features that add to its allure. All running on LG´s webOS platform for a nice easy to understand interface. From the projector itself you can open many streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
Besides streaming, the CineBeam Q offers smartphone or tablet connection mirroring for easy sharing with friends and family. It also works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa so that you can control the projector through voice commands. The hands-free operation also provides an extra layer of convenience that paying or pulling your phone out.
Audio Quality: More Than Meets the Eye
Contrary to the visual experience we most often associate projectors with, one of our biggest surprises regarding audio was from the LG CineBeam Q. The sound of his built-in speakers is clear, balanced slightly and you can play outside without connecting them to the music. It sounds rich and full, with enough volume to fill a medium-sized room.
If you'd like a more cinematic sound, the CineBeam Q is compatible with Bluetooth audio. This way you can also connect the projector wirelessly to a soundbar or Bluetooth speaker for an improved audio experience. And like LG's other audio products, Dolby Atmos--when paired with the right equipment that also supports it--is equally as capable to produce a great sounding movie experience.
Connectivity: Versatile and Convenient
With countless connectivity options, the LG CineBeam Q is designed to enjoy both your favourite shows/movies and other entertainment media. You get HDMI, USB and Ethernet ports for hooking up all manner of peripherals like gaming consoles or Blu-ray players as well as using standard storage devices over USB.
It also features HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) for more convenient connection to a soundbar or AV receiver with just one cable. This reduces the amount of cables you have and makes your setup simpler than most. The CineBeam Q also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing you to easily connect the projector to your other gadgets.
Setup and Usability: Plug-and-Play Simplicity
The LG CineBeam Q is very quick and easy to set up in no small part due to its user-friendly layout. Auto keystone correction of the projector will help to adjust an image horizontally and vertically so that it is in line if, for example, a projector has been installed at some angle. This is important with any projection screen, but it's a nice feature for those who might not have the benefit of projecting onto a perfectly flat surface.
The CineBeam Q comes with a focus ring for manual adjustments, allowing you to increase or decrease the sharpness of the image yourself. And after you have installed the projector, it uses webOS interface to walk through installation processes where viewing programs signing in on ones favorites services is a breeze.
