LG Electronics Launches 2015 LED Projector Lineup
LG Electronics today launched its 2015 lineup of LED projectors, designed with portability and connectivity in mind. The four compact new projectors are available in the United States beginning this month at suggested prices ranging from $349 to $999.
Leading its 2015 lineup is LG's Portable LED Projector with Smart TV (Model PF1500), which delivers high-definition picture quality with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 1400 lumen brightness. Designed for home theater set ups, the LG PF1500 provides up to 120-inch picture (which equals four 60-inch TVs). Its Bluetooth sound output allows wireless streaming of audio directly from the LED projector to any Bluetooth-enabled speaker, soundbar or other device. This "Smart TV" model lets users access entertainment options from premium content providers, including Netflix, VuDu, Hulu Plus, MLBTV.com, YouTube, Spotify, Vtuner, Google MAP, Facebook, Twitter and Picasa.
Key models joining the PF1500 in the lineup include three new "Minibeam" LED Projectors (Models PW800, PH300 and PV150G) that can project up to a 100-inch screen and are equipped with digital TV tuners, allowing users to receive over-the-air TV signals.
The PW800 and PV150G feature a wireless mirroring function, allowing users to beam their preferred content from a smartphone or tablet to the big screen, while the PH300 offers this capability via HDMI cable with MHL capability. All of these projectors can play movies, photos, music and even office documents directly from a portable USB drive and through a wired connection to a computer.
Each projector boasts a 30,000-hour lifespan, equivalent to 10 years of eight hours of daily use.
