My review of the LG HU915QB / HU915QE 4K Ultra Short Throw Laser Projectors. The HU915QB is my new favorite and might just be the best ultra short throw laser projector of 2022 just barely beating out the Formovie Theater.

Hey Chris, when do you think we will have an update to the Formovie projector in 2023?. The reason why I haven't made the purchase yet. It's because I'm waiting for her 3D capability and perhaps higher lumens. Thanks.

@silentsnake1800 Жыл бұрын

Read many bad things about the RBE at the AVS Forum and good that you point it out too. For me i probably could see it on this video. I think for this price it is a no go especially when you have good triple laser with wider color space, good contrast and no RBE problems for less money.

Hello Chris, thanks for the great video again. But i am little confus about the sharpness topic in you video. The rank list of project sreen tells me a sharp score of 9.2 for the formovie and the LG has only 8.3. I would except the for movie has the better sharpness. In your video i would agree with you the LG has the better sharpness. Are you speakin in you video about the Standard mode and not about the HDR Mode?

Thanks Chris, big fan of the channel! Video suggestion for the future - I see in some UST user reviews that if you are heavy into live sports, the UST projectors can have a fair amount of pixel shifting and jitter - so much so that its better to go long throw projector. For those of us hoping to buy a projector almost entirely for live sports - where would you land for a UST? Or is it a class to avoid and just go long throw?

Hi Chris, what’s the quietest short throw projector you’ve come across noise wise? Noise is very important to me as I’m in a small room sitting about 4-5 feet away. I’m also using as a computer monitor so sitting in silence quite often, so any whine is quite distracting. Recently got a jmgo u2 after researching and thought it’d be quiet, but my unit’s not quiet enough. (Rear projection recommendations welcomed)

Based in part on your review, I bought the LG. Two questions: (1) fan is louder than I had expected and there is a high-pitched sound that is a little annoying. Is this a unit-specific issue? Or is it part of the package? (2) how do I get access to menus that allow me to enable ip control? BTW, really enjoy all your reviews.

Hey Chris. Thank you for reviewing. What is the point of a laser TV, if I can buy it for 6000$ 100 inches very good TV, especially new on CES 2023 (This UST + Screen 8000$) ? There is a ton of TVs coming this year. Laser UST much more money and some inconveniences like daylight which reduces the quality of the picture. Waiting for a good price.

@ChrisMajestic Жыл бұрын

There are a few benefits to laser TVs over a regular tv. The first benefit being that you can go way bigger than 100 inches if you want. The biggest benefit for me is viewing angle. Most modern TVs have a horrible viewing angle. This is a non issue with a projector. You can also move it around to different rooms or even s friends house.

If you prefer the px1 pro then that’s what you should go with you’re buying it for your viewing experience, so shop with your eyes and what looks best to you. I was going the px1 pro route myself but Hisense and their customer service is atrocious. So I’d rather go with the formovie for that price

@@cruxiphy1708 thanks. I like any of the PJs that have a very accurate colour pallet without too much calibration and thats what you get with BenQs and Hisense. they also somehow manage to maintain excellent peak brightness even when tweaked for daylight viewing which is why I asked for a comparison opinion between the LG and the PX1. I currently have an LSP9T and cannot tame the reds for all modes. I would like to upgrade to something better but dont want to make the same mistake again.

@Chris Majestic LG G3 is in Europe available in 97 inch, and 3 inch from 100 inch makes no difference. (it's barely 7.62 cm) I think the competition between laser projectors and OLED tvs going to be fierce if OLED tv's continue to grow in sizes and prizes keep going down. The only advantage that Lazerprojectors will have is the power consumption, how bigger the screen for an OLED tv how higher the power consumption, a laser projector will consume the same power if the screen size is 80 or 150 inch.
