See the complete review for the LG HU70LAB 4K UHD LED Projector.
It boasts Ultra HD resolution with XPR technology, extended color, HDR and a full suite of streaming apps from LG’s tried-and-true webOS interface. Oh, and there’s one more thing – a DTV tuner; that’s a first in my experience.
There are plenty of compact DLP projectors in the under $2000 price segment, so LG sets itself apart by including the full functionality of a flat panel TV in a seven-pound chassis. Available in white or black, this diminutive box has a pair of speakers, two HDMI 2.0 inputs (one with ARC), two USB inputs, USB-C and a coax input for its internal DTV tuner. You can connect either a roof antenna for over-the-air HD or a cable drop from your local provider. The HU70LA can scan your channels while it also connects to your home network via hardwire or Wi-Fi to offer content from just about anywhere.

Videophiles will enjoy its calibration suite with 2, 11 and 20-point grayscale, and full-color management. Independent adjustments are available for HDR signals which are supported by the HDR10 spec. To improve the dynamic range, the HU70LA features dynamic tone mapping on a frame-by-frame basis. This is a new feature in projectors that goes a long way toward equalizing their quality with premium flat panels.

My first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. The image looks great with razor-sharp detail and saturated color. Much of that is due to the light source which is four-channel LED rather than a traditional UHP lamp. That means a 30,000-hour maintenance-free lifespan and no color wheel.
