This is great for customers who are looking to replace their Flat panel TV with a projector. There are dozens of available commands and you can get more examples of those commands by just holding down the HU70LA remote’s microphone button.Īs mentioned earlier the LG HU70LA is designed to be a viable alternate to a flat panel TV so unlike most competitive projectors, LG units have an onboard TV tuner. In addition to the projector, Google Assistant allows voice control for several 3 rd party items like a set-top box, lights, door locks, curtains, etc. For example, you can ask the projector to “Play the Videos in USB” or “Change Mode to Vivid.” You can use your voice to operate the HU70LA. You just press and hold the mic button in the center of the remote control to activate Google Assistant. It is equipped with voice control you can use to operate the Smart remote, which has a built-in microphone to control a wide variety of compatible Smart devices via Google Assistant. Below are a few notable features that make the HU70LA a viable solution for a Smart TV. It would take a dozen pages to cover all the Smart TV features found in the HU70LA. The LG CineBeam lineup of projectors are some of the most capable projectors on the market when it comes to Smart TV and voice control capabilities. A version of ThinQ AI webOS is utilized in all LG consumer projectors including the HU85LA 4K Short Throw projector that Art reviewed a few months ago. The HU70LA uses LG's UI, which was developed over several years and is utilized in millions of LG TVs worldwide and is seamless, easy to navigate, and well laid out. LG simply has incorporated everything they have learned over the years building Smart TV elements into this projector. LG is way ahead of most manufacturers when it comes to building Smart projectors. It’s a Smart projector made by a Smart TV manufacturer. The HU70LA utilizes the same ThinQ AI webOS that is found in LG’s current flat panel lineup. The projector can also accept signals up to via a 18Gbps HDMI/HDCP 2.2 Compatible Input (HDMI #1).Īlso like all other DLP projectors, the HU70LA has a sealed light path to protect the optics from the dreaded “dust blob.” Having a sealed light path prevents particles of dust from settling inside the light path and obstructing the projected image. Since the HU70LA is a single-chip DLP projector, you will never have any convergence issues could occur with a 3LCD projector, so the image will remain sharp throughout the life of the projector without periodical adjustment. This approach works very well because it is very difficult to see a difference in sharpness when comparing a 4K DLP projector to a native 4K LCD/LCoS model. I use the term “perceived” because a 4K DLP chip does not actually have 8.3 million mirrors, so the projector utilizes pixel (mirror) shifting to deliver the perceived sharpness of native 4K. The HU70LA utilizes a Texas Instruments 2 nd generation DLP (0.47” DMD) chip to reproduce perceived 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution. Maximum: Reduces lamp power by approximately 50%.Medium: Reduces lamp power by approximately 25%.The lamp power adjustment is called Energy Saving and the other options are as follows : There are three modes to adjust the brightness output of the LED light source. Since the HU70LA has a 4ch LED illumination system it does not utilize a traditional spinning phosphor wheel which reportedly helps reduce visible “rainbowing” that is an issue with many DLP projectors.Ī 4K DLP projector cannot match the color saturation and native contrast of a 3-chip LCoS projector but the HU70LA LED illumination also appears to visibly improve those elements. While I am not overly sensitive to the rainbow effect, I have seen the issue before on other DLP projectors. Most Laser/LED projectors rely on phosphors to create green color elements and sometimes red (if it only has a blue lasers) but the LG HU70LA uses four LEDs to generate red, green, and blue, with an addition of a fourth blue LED to boost brightness, contrast, and generate more vivid colors. LG rates the HU70LA's LED light engine at 1,500 lumens for 30,000 hours which equal years of worry-free operation.
