LG CineBeam Q (HU710PB)

A 3lb RGB laser cube with superb colour — but LG has flagged it discontinued.

$999.00

Overall score 6.4/10

Pros

  • + RGB laser gives far better colour than any LED projector at this size — up to 154% DCI-P3
  • + Genuinely beautiful 3lb aluminium design with a handle that works as a stand
  • + 20,000-hour laser life
  • + webOS is a full smart TV platform, not a stripped-down launcher

Cons

  • LG's own US product page now flags this model as discontinued with a newer model available, and does not name the successor
  • 3W mono speaker is the weakest here — you will want external audio
  • 500 lumens is thin for HDR content
  • No battery, unlike the cheaper portables
  • No Dolby Vision or HDR10+

LG CineBeam Q (HU710PB) review: what the specs say

A 3lb RGB laser cube with superb colour — but LG has flagged it discontinued. At $999, LG's 2024 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the projectors we compare run from $499 to $7,999. It scores 6.4/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Color at 8.5/10 — colour gamut coverage and accuracy out of the box. The weakest is Built-in Sound at 3.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: LG's own US product page now flags this model as discontinued with a newer model available, and does not name the successor; and 3W mono speaker is the weakest here — you will want external audio. Every specification on this page comes from LG's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
