      They could have done so much with it, instead they made an ammo box with a lens on it

    Saw the ads for this one and then saw it’s only 500 lumens. Hope you like watching your crazy expensive projector in a perfectly dark room where no one else will see its “style”.

    Is this an ad for a subpar, dim, normal throw projector in a shiny box?

            Hard to converse with a ball gag in my mouth and she charges by the minute. I can’t afford the luxury of a sentence more than the 2 minutes I need of her company.

              Ill tell her to think of bringing in a loyalty card system so you get a freebie occasionally, probably everly 13th free, a traditional wankers dozen.

                That’s be great! My Iphone 4s isn’t compatible with her app, so I have really been missing out on promotions.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    LG announced the CineBeam Qube (model HU710PB) laser projector yesterday: It’s got a minimalist look and stature, weighing 3.28 pounds and measuring 135mm square on one side and just 80mm wide at the front.

    It also has an unspecified number of HDMI eARC and USB-C ports, and a 3W built-in mono speaker.

    Impressively, LG says it can project an up-to-120-inch image at full 4K resolution with a pretty standard 1.2 throw ratio.

    The Qube uses the company’s webOS, which is fine taken on its own as an OS, but lacks the diversity of Google TV or Apple’s tvOS.

    It looks a little like a cross between the Binomes from the 90s CGI cartoon ReBoot and the hand-cranked Bell & Howell 8mm camera that floated around my house growing up.

    And while I usually recoil at companies describing their devices with terms like “stylish interior accessory, I have to admit the Qube calls to me, as a person who is willing to forgive the flaws of quirky, boxy tech that has a handle — like the GameCube, for instance.

    When I was in uni I bought a projector for my room. Best thing I ever bought.

    Just put it on my bedside table and used it to watch movies on the white wall either alone or with the FB. Even took it downstairs and on the old console played split screen COD with the housemates. It was awesome.

    But that was 10 years ago now and TV tech has moved on. Most people have a huge TV that gives pretty much the same size as what screen I was protecting but much clearer, and they also don’t live in a shitty uni room with no space for a TV stand and no walls mounts.

    The projector had its short window of being the right solution but I think a lot of people missed it and now a TV is almost always the right option.

      Yes. This projector is one of the worst things to happen to humanity.
