Expert Pick #04
LG CineBeam S.
Ultra-short-throw 4K that sits 3.2 inches from the wall yet delivers 100-inch images.
The Verdict.
9.3/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The projector that makes big-screen viewing possible in spaces where it previously wasn't. The ultra-short-throw lens is the selling point — if you need a projector that sits inches from the wall, very few alternatives exist at this price. Just manage brightness expectations: this is a dark-room projector disguised as a lifestyle product.”

Global Critique
“Feature and performance-wise, the PU615U is similar to the award-winning CineBeam Q except with an ultra-short-throw lens — a significant distinction for small spaces.”
Projector Reviews
“Sets new picture standards for ultra-portable projectors but is let down by its sound quality.”
What Hi-Fi?
“A full-on 4K projector in a pint-sized package. The RGB laser delivers colors that belie the compact form factor.”
