LG HU85LA Review - The Best 4K Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector

[@jaz4280]

No messing about, full on without wasting times like some KZbinrs. Thank you

[@PatrickdaStarr]

Most underrated KZbin channel. Great video. Keep up the good work

[@ab10222]

You are 100 percent correct

[@ryancurrie8161]

I’m a fan as well. Thanks, Chris!

[@robertsamson4610]

Chris your presentations are very professional and informative. Thank you for not trying to be a comedian or playing distracting background music. ^^

[@rodericktownsend5387]

Background music can be soooooo obnoxious

[@vfr492]

”Because i don’t RTFM” ... haha brilliant! :)

[@Youthman]

Great review as always Chris. I too thoroughly enjoyed the HU85LA paired with the EluneVision 8K ALR SCREEN. Hated to return it. Take care.

[@ChrisMajestic]

Hey bro. Nice! I'll have to look that one up. I really wish I had another screen to test with in my basement.

[@Youthman]

Chris Majestic shoot me an email [e-mail]. I have a contact I can give you.

[@Zmap6191]

@youthman can you comment on this UST projector vs. the JVC you recently reviewed on your channel. I have a batcave theater room and I want to pick the best projector.

[@knowledge5106_]

Another good review! LG is definitely one of my favorite brands and I still enjoy my 60 LG Plasma TV from 8 years ago! Really am considering this unit for my over the fireplace living room tv.

[@kmyymk2]

I gotta apologize I've watched enough of your content in the past I just assumed I was subscribed but I got ya now subbed

[@killianoshaughnessy1174]

Straight-to-the-point without being bland. I may have found a new favorite tech reviewer 🤔

[@theglaok]

Great video this has to be the only channel to get an informative review where you want to actually go out an purchase a projector great work Chris that LG was on the radar and I feel confident that will be a future purchase when funds are there.

[@stevemorrison5227]

I would absolutely have purchased this projector, but I wanted 3D capability. I went with the Optoma instead and it rocks! While the picture might be a tick off of the LG, It is still really, really good and I now get to watch the final battle in “End Game” in 3D on a 120” screen. Short Throw manufacturers might want to consider the benefits of making this feature standard on their products as people who tend to buy this stuff usually want all of the bells and whistles.

[@VinodKumar-wk1rn]

Indian mony

[@VinodKumar-wk1rn]

Ok

[@stevethea5250]

Optoma GT5600 ?

[@jtbrown739]

Another great review, Chris. All I have to do know is convince my wife that a $6k projector is a sound investment in these uncertain times, what do ya think my chances are? ( Not bloody likely is my guess.) Keep up the good work.

[@guppeeh]

Had to pause this amazing review to thank you, Chris. Your presentation is exactly the right balance of pace, information, and advisement. Bravo and please keep it up. You got a fanboy subscriber! Like like like

[@johnf517]

You’re an excellent communicator... I look forward to every video you put out... waiting for when you review JTR sub...

[@MohitJouhari]

Yes this channel is underrated. I've seen his some earlier videos about Harman speakers but after that I forgot his channel name and now I got it back.

[@TriMuXx]

Did the Optoma Cinemax P1 give the same whine noise as the LG did? I was really hoping the P1 would get “best UST” but if the input lag was lower on the LG, then it deserves the title. Another great projector review! Keep it goin’! Thanks!!

[@TheMcDannells]

Chris, GREAT review, you covered every aspect I was looking for, especially the use of an ALR screen. Given this came out in 2019, any thoughts on an updated model and price drop on this one? I agree, LG has a great interface and I'd love to get this or the VAVA but the price is just...ouch :)

[@Calmdown1354]

Hi great channel. Best information I've found 👍 would you say this is better than the new Optoma P2?

[@s.e.productions6882]

Thanks for this advice. I'm going to subscribe. Do you bluetooth your audio or are you using the audio out port?

[@gmonnig]

Your reviews are always top notch! I’ve just finished my dedicated theater and have my speakers behind the screen so Ultra short throws are out of the question but still a great review! I’m between the TK850 and the Optoma UHD51ALV/UHD52ALV.

[@ChrisMajestic]

Uhd51a is nice and has slightly better color than the tk850. Close matchup though

[@jadan2000]

Great video Chris. I have to ask, how do you feel about watching 2.35.1 movies on this projector? were the black bars bothersome?

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Can you review the Optoma CinemaX Pro and talk about the differences between it and the Optoma P1?

[@motorcopT2]

Okay man because your information is always so solid I’m going to take your word for it and go all in. What 100” - 120” screen would you pair it with.

[@reliev33]

any specific brands of the screen that you recommend with this unit over the others? a great review like always been eyeing this for a while.

[@ChrisMajestic]

Screen Innovations makes some pretty awesome UST screens. They are pricey though.

[@dannymurro9215]

Hey awesome channel buddy. I’m about to purchase a laser projector and the vivid storm motorized screen.in your opinion which would you prefer to buy .the LG or the Hisense px1 ?i will need a good picture it’s going on my living room ,i have a lot of windows so light is kinda an issue. What are your thoughts??

[@Darkn3ssF4ll]

@Chris Majestic do you have a video where you compare your newer reviews to this ?

[@johnmcclainiii6171]

Awesome Review !!!...this is officially on my radar

[@Icelandlover]

Always smart and to the point. No BS. Thanks again!

[@jamesrob26]

Very good editing I subscribed after 1 video 😤😬💪

[@YT_enjoyer7]

Great video! Your level of detail is unmatched. Can you tell me which is better? HT2050A or TH685?

[@ChrisMajestic]

The ht2050a is a great projector and will have more vibrant and accurate color than the th685

[@sarahprice1314]

Hey Chris, love your vids dude, with the LG now down in price to just over £4K do you think this is still the best UST projector to buy now end of 2020? I see Optoma has just released the P2, will you be reviewing that? Thanks

[@1ohsanam]

Hey Chris tahnk u for this awesome insight ..its a best complete review ...but main question after 20,000 hrs of viewing do u throw this away or the laser lamp is replaceable?

[@deesr.6641]

How is the 3d on this projector, is there a black option coming out. Great review btw.

[@14DimensionEnterprise]

You bought all projectors so far reviewed? and actually using them? which one is your top 1 and using now?

[@yahyaadada9688]

Thanks Chris for your always simple straight to the point reviews. I am using the Optoma UHZ 65 in my theater room and happy with it. Looking for short throw projector in family living room. Since u've reviewd both, would u recommend this LG or the Optoma P1?

[@elipolancojr3219]

Great video bro. Can you fill a 2:35.1 screen? Keep the videos coming bro 👊

[@kamalakrsna]

tnx 4 telling us the price right @ the begining ... that important information sets the context 4 all other info.

[@jaimerios1378]

Best review video. Seriously, I love your content 😁

[@ncrstudios8192]

Hey Chris. How do you think this projector will hold up with the next gen of consoles? I just ordered a ps5 and wanted to get this projector. Wanted to get your professional opinion first though

[@virtualinfluencer]

What a find. Pure majestic! Got yourself a sub here.

[@ankursadhoo]

Hey Chris, now that we have two top flagship USTs from Samsung and Epson, I'm really looking forward to your reviews and how they compare to the LG! Keep up the good work!!

[@angelosonly]

Hi!! Can the LG 4k or Samsung 4k be installed on the ceiling??

[@trendyprojectors4743]

Yes, but you have to face certain difficulties...according to a Reddit user, ....... I think it will look awful unless you have a tension screen but, because the laser source will be upside down, so would the screen since these types of screens are ALR blocking light from above. .........

[@IncredibleJim]

Is this still the best? I am looking into getting a short throw projector

[@eldotjay]

*When are you going to review the Hisense 100L5FT??? The Hisense Laser TV. It would be good to compare it vs this LG Cinebeam*

[@lout3921]

I was wondering if you could here your opinion on portable screens. I'm planning a diy one using decent materials, are there better purchase options? I'm planning outdoor movie nights for family and friends in the near future. Your videos are fantastic and of course informative. Keep up the great work.

[@blakkboxx4246]

Hi Chris? I was wondering if that specific remote is compatible with the lg Oled TV and if you can purchase it separately to operate my Oled. Thanks.

[@dayadam16]

I instantly laughed when i noticed you wearing my favorite shirt.

[@kevinlaboissonniere898]

Hey Chris, I am ready to buy a short throw projector. As of right now, I am thinking of getting the LG 85. I am still waiting for you to review the Samsung Premiere. I need your advice on which is the best sounding Short Throw Projector? I will add a home system eventually, but in the meantime, I need to know which Short Throw has the best sound, and is the LG 85 still your best pick? I do game at home, not online. Like God of War! As of now, my budget is flexible. I need a smart Short Throw projector. What do you recommend? Kevin Ontario Canada

[@iyona14granturismogt6gtspo7]

SAYS THE DAMN PRICE IN THE FIRST SENTENCE THANK YOU!!! LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED...SO SICK OF THE AV reviewers acting like saying the price of Equipment is so damn horrifying 😪!! Car reviewers don't do this nonsense! Things cost what they cost!! We are adults say the price to play!!! Thank you Majestechs!

[@snakeshit05]

So Chris is you just bought a house what projector would you put in the movie room that's not crazy over priced?

[@romanvyatkov8935]

What screen did you use for short throw projector?

[@carlstein3753]

Can I get your opinion on using the LG HU85LA for either a 130" or 140" screen. How much pucture quality would I be loosing and far back would the projector have to move back ?

[@Millz1101]

Great review! When will we see the UHD30/50X one!?

[@ChrisMajestic]

50x coming very soon

[@itsjustmyusername312]

Great review, thanks for being up front about the price.

[@MadOrange644]

Lools nice and clean. This'll be perfect for a home theater if you got the cash.

[@davehan241]

RTF...AAhhh yeah. Read the f'n manual. Yeah I usually like winging it too since it's also a test of how intuitive the set-up is. Can you offset the image to the left or right much and if so, is the image quality significantly impacted? Awesome review, has all the things I look for: Unboxing (helpful for reboxing), clear product detail shots, specs written out all in one go, gaming mode effectiveness.

[@a.rahmannoor3311]

Hello chris I'm a big fan I wanted to ask your opinion on the best projector in the market.. I'm planning to get one for my home theater, even through the space is not that big.. And regarding the budget it is around $1,600..

[@cymonophori9998]

Great video man! I watched yoru videos on the Optoma P1 and LG HU85LA. Is there any way that you can compare the LG to optoma P1 please. I'm in the middle right now.

[@coolkid9422]

This is like, the best projector but... It is Fricking awesome EXPENSIVE!

[@moronasswipe5605]

Yeah that shit is too freaking awesomely expensive for nothing.It is not as bright as its competitors.Just because it has the best input lag and the shortest throw ratio of them all.But not bright enough to handle ambient lights and very poor audio.Don't know why it is so overpriced.

[@coolkid9422]

@@moronasswipe5605 Yea. I beter buy the VIVA one than this shit. Its not even 4k HDR10

[@sameralhanbaly6877]

Thank you for very informative video. Can LG HU85LA be connected to notebook by wireless connection to make screen mirroring?

[@cgavin1]

Great to see tech is progressing away from LEDs and colour wheels.. 5-10 years these will be both affordable and probably in the majority of homes instead of big screen TV's.

[@softsounds3531]

That a super cool projector I’ve been thinking about buy one until I saw that price tag at $6000 lol

[@l21n18]

To be fair an actual tv near that size would cost way more

[@mynuko]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you for this video ;)

[@mbaxter22]

What's the general consensus on ALR screens? I'm talking about the ones that actually attenuate the reflected light from off axis, not the screens that simply deal with this issue by being gray. Are the true ALR screens worth it?

[@ЕвгенийВахрушев-ш3к]

Dear Chris, please help to decide between this LG85 and new Samsung LSP9T ? If Samsung better in general ( because its a new one ) or its the same like LG ? Please help!

[@jorihaar]

I have the LG hu80kls (the "portable" tower one). Would this short throw be a good upgrade for my tower, or is the difference in projecting not worth it and should I just keep my tower, I sometimes don't like the vague and washed out blacks.

[@juansantiago5979]

Just wish LG would make a black exterior instead of the white. I just didn't want it to stick out from my other equipment. Hope they make that change in our option in 2021.

[@xandermerlin]

Mr.Majestic just ran into ur reviews on UTube n i immediately had 2 subcribe 2 ur channel👍 Quick question, do u plan on reviewin the new Samsung LSP7T Projector?

[@ChrisMajestic]

I've reached out to Samsung and I'm waiting to receive it

[@xandermerlin]

@@ChrisMajestic great to hear buddy...im really itching to get it, but ill wait for your reviews before i do...if its not too much trouble, can you also recommend in your video an affordable UST screen to view on? thanks buddy & be safe🙏

[@ryancurrie8161]

Thanks for putting out great content like this one.

[@Salty.Peasants]

Waiting for the HDMI 2.1 version of this. VRR and ALLM should easily reduce the lag by half and double the motion resolution. That will be my next projector.

[@Chewie576]

When do you think they will upgrade it?

[@mrinternational9]

Did you hook up your surroundsound with the ARC input or just a sub to it?

[@anthonyverduzco7953]

Would you say this projector is as good as their lg uh80 ? Is there a big difference

[@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697]

this is incredible setup

[@Shane101A]

I play on a 100" screen from a $150 Vankyo 620 projector and I love it.

[@whoyoulookingatabs1028]

Never been happier for a Notification

[@07GSXR1G]

Thanks great content. I am one of those 3D guys who needs a projector that supports 3d content. so thanks for looking that feature as well. I really want a dual purpose projector that can be used daily.

[@ChrisMajestic]

The epson 5050ub is a great everyday projector

[@balachanderraidu]

I am planning to design a small mechanical pullout for the projector, when the pull out is completely out the projection should be 120 inch, and when it is pushed in towards the screen the projection size should be 90 inch (or whatever it's minimum size is). Main reason to do this is, I am assuming when the size is 90 inch the picture will be more bright and that much better in Ambient light. And I want a 120 inch screen for when I want to use it at 120inch without any ambient light. How feasible is this idea?

[@microhard4997]

Great video!! Keep it up bro!

[@arknarath]

What is the largest wall / screen you would recommend using this on? Would it work on a 200 inch wall?

[@Cleric996]

What about rainbow effect? Is it noticable, even by a little?

[@wozzaclk7798]

Hi Chris, will you be reviewing the new BENQ V6050 short throw anytime soon? Liking the LG but specs on both units the Benq seemed to be better! And Cheaper.

[@koobs4549]

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a giant mockup of an old iPod dock. 😂

[@kyndi2]

Have you had a chance to view the Samsung LSP9T. Trying to decide between the two.

[@wollabille]

Hey Chris What gain and cloth are you using as your projector screen?

[@yesno9895]

Can you compare it to Optoma P1?

[@fromulaon]

I was waiting for this! Pretty cool.

[@fordtrucklover90280]

great video, thank you! It looks like I will build a custom furniture so the projector sits lower under the screen to get the best view

[@Hito343]

Would you upgrade to this from 5050UB ? I am thinking if I am stepping the game i would buy native 4K either JVC or Sony. But all those smart functions and everything is really nice compared to mine getting old 5050, sharpness is not that good compared to native 4Ks and Sony from what I heard also handles motion better, JVC also good. But the price... the price

[@sonicchill1]

Another great review! Thanks Chris!!

[@UBAYBE]

How quiet is it? I find most projectors are noisey in quiet screens. Can you control it with Alexa? Are there any laser projectors that can be mounted on the ceiling? What is the response rate for gaming xbox one x? MS response wise?

[@danfrankel8014]

Hey Chris, you mentioned Hulu install was painless but how do you install Hulu onto any of these LG projectors? I've got this unit n can’t find how 🤔 Can’t find app and can’t get past recaptcha on login through LG browser. Their tech support wasn't very helpful. Any suggestions or leads are appreciated. Thanks Chris, I really dig your videos!

[@newElon]

QUESTION: Please tell me, Chris. What do to when my projector's lamp lifetime is exceeded? if i do not replace the lamp immediately what worst can happen?

[@webstercompanyms]

Does this UST projector still hold up as one of the better ones on the market? Is there a newer "comparable"?

[@trendyprojectors4743]

I see, this is in trend according to today's demand.... at the end, we need better clarity, better picture and sound...

[@hittori]

have you being able to download Disney+ in here? Price apart which one will you get, the Optoma or the LG? if you have to pay for it, then which one, the Optoma or the LG? Thanks in advance

[@lxchie8137]

Thanks chris you're the best

[@markkaupas8921]

No matte black option and coil whine for $6,000. Appreciate the excellent review but no buyer here. I always like listening to your reviews as you are straight to the point and don't waste our time.

[@andrew4837]

Hi Chris not sure if you check your comments but I’m looking for a sub $1,000 projector for use in my room (I’ve got blackout curtains) and dorm room / apartment AND maybe outside at night for movie nights w friends. I’m stuck between the GT1080HDR and BenQ HT2150ST. I need a short throw. Which would you reccomend? Thanks!

[@shadowb195]

Is it possible that it will soon release a version that will support 10 bit and HDMI 2.1

[@FF-FAN9999]

Still the best 4k projector out there currently? Thanks for the video Chris

[@hewix700]

You need to do a review on the Sony UST projector VPLVZ1000ES which I think is the best UST projector. It has a $15,000 price tag for a reason. Also, it has been out for more than 2 years.

[@jayilango276]

If neither cost or projecting in the ceiling vs being ust is a factor, is this LG short throw projector preferable over Sony - VPL-VW295ES 4K SXRD ceiling projector? I understand sony is native 4k and LG is an upscale projector. Need your help deciding one over the other.
