Throw 4K UHD Laser Projector

The LG ProBeam BU53RG is a new short-throw DLP projector that delivers native 3840 x 2160 resolution for home-theater enthusiasts who want a large image from a short distance. Its 0.94 to 1.14 throw ratio lets installers place the unit close to the screen without sacrificing picture size.

5000-Lumen Brightness and 3000000:1 Contrast

Rated at 5000 lumens, the laser light source provides ample output for rooms with some ambient light while maintaining a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks. The light engine is rated for 15000 hours in normal mode, giving years of virtually maintenance-free operation before brightness drops noticeably.

webOS Signage 6.0 Platform

The built-in LG webOS-Signage 6.0 platform adds streaming apps and network management without an external media player. HDMI, USB, RJ-45, wireless LAN and Bluetooth interfaces allow wired or wireless content sources, while lens shift of H ±20%, V ±50% and 1.2x zoom simplify alignment in challenging rooms.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.94–1.14 short-throw ratio and lens shift of ±20 % horizontal and ±50 % vertical let me keep my existing ceiling mount?

The 0.94–1.14 throw ratio and lens shift range of H ±20 % and V ±50 % give wide placement flexibility, so most existing ceiling mounts can be reused without moving the bracket.

How can I verify the 3 840 × 2 160 native resolution and 3 000 000 : 1 contrast are active after installation?

Open the on-screen information menu; it reports the detected input resolution and current contrast setting, confirming 3 840 × 2 160 and 3 000 000 : 1 are engaged.

Does the box include the laser light source, webOS Signage 6.0 licence and all cables, or must I buy anything extra?

The projector ships with the mercury-free laser engine, webOS Signage 6.0 pre-installed, power cord, remote control and basic documentation; HDMI or network cables are not included.
