Verdict

The LG CineBeam AU810PB is a premium 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) smart dual-laser projector designed for high-end home cinemas, delivering up to 2,700 ANSI lumens and a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Key characteristics include a 20,000-hour light source lifespan, coverage of 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, and advanced installation features like ±60% vertical and ±24% horizontal lens shift with a 1.6x manual zoom. Pros include its integration of the webOS 5.0 smart platform, HDMI 2.1 connectivity with eARC and ALLM support, WiSA wireless audio compatibility, and Calman Auto Calibration for precision tuning. Notable cons include its bulky 24-pound chassis, lack of native 3D support, and black level performance that, while strong for DLP, typically falls short of high-end LCoS competitors.
