Imagine a world where tech doubles as high-end decor. LG certainly did, with a device that blurs the line between projector and contemporary art.
It didn’t just think outside the box; it made the box look like something you’d find in a contemporary art museum (and now they charge you to look at it).
The CineBeam Qube is a minimalist’s dream projector turned reality. With its “art objet” monicker (yes, LG actually went and called it that, which is a tad pretentious), it boasts clean modern lines and a handle that rotates 360 degrees. It’s a device that screams for a spot on your Instagram feed, and not tucked away in a cupboard. It’s a neat little package – just 135mm tall – which LG claims makes it ‘portable’ but at 1.5kg you wouldn’t want to carry it around all day.
Looking past the aesthetics, the CineBeam Qube boasts a 4K resolution, outshining many of its Full HD portable projector counterparts. Its 120-inch max screen size, RGB laser tech, and a 450,000:1 contrast ratio, it’s more than capable of lighting up your living room. Brightness and color gamut are impressive too, so this isn’t just a pretty face.
The brains behind all that beauty? LG’s webOS 6.0 platform, which boasts a slate of streaming services including the usual suspects like Netflix and Disney Plus. The Qube also throws in some convenient connectivity options – HDR10 support and a full-sized HDMI eARC port.
Basically, it’s a smart TV without the TV bit.
