Verdict

The LG CineBeam HU715Q is a 4K UHD ultra-short throw laser projector capable of projecting a 120-inch image from just 31.7cm away. It features 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness, a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and covers 85% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Main pros include its integrated webOS smart platform with native Netflix support, impressive HDR performance via Dynamic Tone Mapping, and a robust 40W 2.2-channel built-in sound system. However, its main cons are a lack of 3D support, relatively high input lag for serious gaming at 53.9ms, and noticeable fan noise reaching up to 30dB in high-brightness modes.
