Pros and cons

According to our projector expert

You can see even the smallest detail, thanks to the 4K UHD resolution.
Thanks to the high light output, you still get a clear projection in a large and lighter room.
On the WebOS smart platform, you can easily stream movies and series from Netflix, YouTube, and Videoland, for example.
With its 9.7kg weight, the projector is relatively heavy, which makes it less easy to move.

Description

With the LG ProBeam BU50NST, you're sure to get an impressive movie experience. Thanks to the 4K UHD resolution, every single detail is relayed clearly. For example, the grains of sand at a beach. This way, you don't have to miss anything from your favorite movies or series. With the light output of 5000 ANSI lumens, you also enjoy a detailed projection in rooms that aren't darkened. Because of the high contrast ratio, the bright image also has deep black levels. Your projection will look realistic. You connect the projector to the internet via WiFi or a network cable so you can get access to the webOS smart platform. Here, you can find apps like Netflix.

The LG ProBeam BU50NST has a throw ratio of 1.3 - 2.08:1, which means that you can put the projector between 1.3 and 2.08m from the screen for a 1m wide projection. For a 2m wide projection, you can double that distance to 2.6 and 4.16m. Be sure to check where you want to put the projector and if there's space

Brightest, best laser projector to date

Very clear, a really good step above the optoma
Low noise, less than the optima UHZ65LV
Start up quickly
What less black level,

Excellent very bright projector, which is unparalleled in its class. Compared to the Optoma UHZ65LV, which had better film colors and blacklevel in standard mode, but was less bright. The LG in movie mode comes very close. What you buy this projector for, however, is the presentation mode, which gives a splash-clear image that you can use on a white wall even during the day. Visually a big step brighter than the optoma UHZ65LV. The black level is somewhat less in presentation mode, but with the iris closed (film mode) very similar to the optoma. Rainbowing, another to DLP effect, is very minimal with this projector. The Optoma is really significantly worse in this regard. Easy to test by placing something with high contrast (white and black next to each other, a mouse cursor on black for example) and moving your eyes from left to right. Not really noticeable with this projector. Of course I would have preferred a better black level, but the next step up in that (SXRD, D-ILA) you do not get in this 5000 lumen category for a price under a new tesla and under 50 kg with water cooling. So do you want a projector that works fine during the day and can project a really large area, does not have to change a lamp and can also be used as a film projector? Then this one. A downside is that if you increase the projection to the maximum, the far corners will not be completely sharp. You only see it with computer text, not with film. However, if you take watching movies very seriously then buy an OLED or a D-ILA/SXRP.. And when you project you should also paint your ceiling black and calibrate your projector and align your LCD panels and turn off all the lights because if you If you get light reflection on your screen, your expensive black levels are no longer useful. OLED is actually always easier.

Excellent very bright projector, which is the top in its class. Compared to our current beamer, this 1000 steps forward is really an incredibly clear image. The LG in movie mode comes very close. What you buy this projector for, however, is the presentation mode, which gives a splash-clear image that you can use on a white wall even during the day.

A downside is that if you increase the projection to the maximum, the far corners will not be completely sharp. You only see text with computer, not with the film. However, if you take watching movies very seriously, buy an OLED. And when you project, you also have to paint your ceiling black and calibrate your projector and turn off all the lights because if you get light reflection on your screen, your expensive black levels are no longer useful. OLED is actually always easier.

The price is a bit on the high side for home, garden and kitchen use, it is also very large, so you can't hang it easily.

great thing

wifi
screen image
sound
he is a bit on the big side

I recently got the LG ProBeam BU50NST, I am very pleased with it, the image is really very sharp, the beamer does not get hot, unlike other models. In addition, a remote control is included. 1 disadvantage of the beamer is that it cannot be operated with a smartphone. However, there is wifi. The beamer is very easy to connect to your home. Normally I have the idea with a beamer that it has to be played in very dark rooms. I have now found out that this is not necessary at all. even in daylight the image is very visible.
