Portable projectors provide a large screen for cozy movie nights without committing to a full home theater setup, and they’ve come a long way in the past few years. However, many force you to choose between design and function. This LG CineBeam Q Portable Projector Blends sleek looks with true 4K laser projection, making it perfect for flexible viewing—and right now, it’s $200 off $799.99 (originally $999.99).
This 4K mini projector provides a sharp, detailed picture up to approximately 120 inches, which is unusual for this size. It also has a wide color gamut (up to 154% DCI-P3) and high contrast for a more vibrant image. It uses an RGB laser light engine and a DLP chip to produce a picture with a brightness of up to 500 ANSI lumens, which works best in low light and darkness. And while design shouldn’t be the first thing you consider when shopping for a portable projector, it’s nothing to scoff at, with a retro-industrial aluminum design that looks like decor, made more portable by a carrying handle.
The LG CineBeam Q is also easy to set up thanks to auto-alignment and auto-focus, plus 22-point white balance adjustment, with the same picture calibration controls as LG’s OLED TVs. You can also modify it manually with 4-, 9-, or 15-point warping options. It uses the WebOS streaming platform, which includes popular streaming apps like Netflix and Disney+, and allows you to stream wirelessly to your phone or tablet via AirPlay 2 and Android Screen Share.
What do you think so far?
That said, it doesn’t have a battery-powered option, so it’s better for indoor use, and the audio on the 3-watt mono speaker can be a bit tinny. It supports Bluetooth pairing with dual audio outputs, so you can connect it to a soundbar, headphones or speakers. However, its 4K resolution sets it apart from many competitors, making LG CineBeam Q Portable Projector A strong contender with a crisp picture and refined, all-metal design at 20% off.
