LG's New Laser Projector Only Requires 2-Inch Wall Clearance
Sitting the second-generation CineBeam Laser 4K project two inches away from a wall allows for a 90-inch display to be projected. However, increasing the wall distance to seven inches allows the screen size to grow to 120-inches. Expect to see it on display at CES 2019.

Televisions may be a lot lighter since we moved from CRT to LCD and OLED, but their increased display size still makes them quite difficult to transport around. There is an alternative, though, in the form of a home projector, and LG just unveiled its latest short throw CineBeam Laser 4K projector which can be positioned very close to a wall.
LG unveiled its first ultra short throw (UST) laser projector at CES 2018 and it was capable of producing a 150-inch display at 4K resolution. The HU80KA was like a mini tower you could leave on the floor and it cost around $3,000. The second-generation HU85L looks much more like a smart speaker and is clearly meant to sit on a cabinet.
A major selling point of the HU85L will surely be how close you can position it to a wall. With just two inches of clearance it can project a 90-inch display with a 4K resolution. However, if you increase the wall distance to seven inches, the display size increases to 120-inches which is going to be more than big enough for most homes. Brightness matches that of last year's model and is rated at 2,500 ANSI lumens.
There's no detailed spec for this projector just yet as LG is saving the big reveal for CES 2019 in January. We do know that it will offer USB, Ethernet, and HDMI connectivity to allow easy access to media, be it streamed, downloaded, or played off Blu-ray discs. LG is claiming to have eliminated the image distortion usually associated with UST projectors by using a "12-point keystone adjustment feature." It will be interesting to see how that impacts visual accuracy when we get a first glimpse of it in action next year.
