UST laser TV~$2,999

LG CineBeam HU715QW

LG's mainstream laser TV, running the same webOS as its televisions with all the streaming apps built in. 2,500 ANSI lumens at a 0.22 throw ratio and a 40 W 2.2-channel system; the standout feature is the software rather than the light engine.

What it does well

webOS is a mature, licensed television platform with every major app, not a projector-maker's launcher
2,500 ANSI lumens with a 0.22 throw ratio
40 W of 2.2-channel audio built into the cabinet
30 dB is quiet for a laser TV

What it gives up

54 ms input lag is the slowest measured figure in this catalog — this is not a gaming projector
Single-laser phosphor with no Dolby Vision and no published contrast figure
Released in 2022 and unchanged since
60 Hz only
LG's model numbering makes research harder than it should be: nearby model numbers differ only by a suffix letter and describe very different projectors

The two lists above are read off manufacturer specifications and published measurements, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been collected it appears separately below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

Throw calculator

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 0.22:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.

Throw at a glance

16:9 diagonals, estimated from the published throw ratio: image width = distance ÷ throw ratio, diagonal = width ÷ 0.8716. The maths.
