Can't lie, It's the remote that brought me here. I thought I could get that remote I saw in a commercial for my LG OLED. Turns out it was for their projector. I still want it though.
I found turning the hdmi black level to high to fix the tone mapping in dark scenes. You can clean up the HDR with some setting tweeks. Also turn your power savings to max also helps not blow out highlights and reduce noise considerably! I find it plenty bright in a dark room.
The only thing missing is a comparison on different screen types. You started by mentioning a 0.9 screen, but what does that mean when compared with something other than 0.9? That for the review though. It was informative.
The category of short throws with high-resolution is definitely an interesting one. While the projector category as a whole is slowly shrinking this category within the entire projector market has emerged as an easy to integrate front projector solution. This particular model is more upscale in fit and finish but is what I'd call prohibitively expensive for the average consumer. So if it is aimed at the well-heeled and informed A/V consumer I still think it's a bit of a fail overall at this price. Good review I think because I think I can read my own beliefs into it somewhat. Still it packs a lot of impressive tech but doesn't redefine the short throw laser/led category in a consummate leap of image quality that the price should be delivering. Just an opinion and certanly not technical or definitive in any way.
@@Odessey878 yes it works perfect for all of our entertainment needs including gaming. It all really comes down to what your personal expectations are. If your looking for a solid picture and to have fun then you'll love it. If you're overly picky about every single frame detail and absolute clear edges then you may not like UST projectors no matter how much definition they claim to have
I liked your nice detailled review! I have a Xiaomi Full HD, and I am happy with the image, but when I compare it with the Oled TVs, I immediately notice I would need a 4k Projector. I am very attracted by the low price from Xiaomi 4k Projector, but the Optoma Ultrashort 4k and this LG HU85 4k seem to have a better wuality of the image. Since I am very sensitive to noises, I think I would choose the optoma ultrashort 4k! Thank you again!
Picture quality is better then optoma just a tad... I don’t think 2500$ better. Optoma wins or ties in all the other category’s and optoma has 3D. You have the best reviews. Very informative keep up the amazing work
While I adore my LG OLED sets (both with 3D - the last models to have it) I knew I was going to pass on this projector because of no 3D. My Optoma P1 delivers an amazing picture at 120” and the 3D (“Rogue One” final scenes blew my mind) is exactly what I want. If LG manages to lose the noise and brings in a 3D component, I might revisit down the road.
Blue Six : I noticed the coil whine also on mine. I can hear it from 7 feet away with no audio playing. When playing movies at my preferred sound setting (loud), not noticeable. When I'm watching TV, TH-cam, or anything at normal listening level, it's subtle but noticeable. I can't imagine how annoying it would be watching a movie like A Quiet Place...
SpareChange : I know I'm very sensitive because I hate hearing people chew food and move in movie theaters which is why I prefer my media room 😂. I even give my wife side eyes when she snacks during our movie time.
Yeah, every tv manufacture dumping 3D is a mistake in the TV industry. China is big on 3D and the rest of the international community. Soon, you won't wear glasses will be the norm. I still have a LG 65" 4K 3D (2014 model) and will buy a 3D projector soon enough. Sorry LG know your tech end user and the greatness of 3D blu rays. CRAZY they all abandoned 3D..... The biggest tech blunder of the CENTURY.
@@marcozolo3536 You're gna be waiting a long time for that 8K laser UST projector. 3D maybe "old" but it is still very nice tech. I enjoy 3D and I know I ain't the only one. I guess u can say the lack of 3D was a deciding factor for me because I just picked up Optomas CinemaX Pro with a Grandview Dynamique 120". Guess LG missed out on this sale smh. I started putting the screen together last night and I can't wait to watch a 3D movie on a 120" screen
I have this projector. It has way less rainbows than the Hisense but it still somehow has them in high contrast scenes. Otherwise it's a great projector. I have mine paired with a 120" si alr screen
“The LG doesn’t use a color wheel which will eliminate the rainbow effect” “If you’re sensitive to the rainbow effect, you’re gonna see it here.” Ok what gives?
@@therealshanelee The rainbow effect is the result of a lens distorting the light beam and splitting it, no? Therefore even with single color lasers, it will creep up. Just a little bit less maybe.
My picture (contrast, brightness, etc.) settings changes on its own with every different app (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) using Apple TV as the hub. Anyone know what setting is causing this issue on this hu85la unit?

Great content you are putting out. I bought the P2 and the LG HU85LA for my own comparison purposes. I will be returning one of them. P2 out the box is blowing the LG away for some reason as far as picture quality. LG looks over saturated or greyed out in comparison without tweaking expert level picture options which I dont want to mess with. Any idea on what may be the issue? Testing in a dark basement with light control?
@@therealshanelee Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. Ill try to finesse it as best I can. Also dont want to be changing presets between movie scenes like you described in the Star wars clip. Don't know if you've tested the P2 out yet, if you have, all prices being equal, would you still take the LG?
I'm so sold on it Not having a color wheel..I hated color wheels for Christmas and I still hate them now. Thus will be my go to ust!! Thanks for the show..waiting for the black version! Also..what is the difference between 4k and native 4k???
It means that the chip is only 1080p but the projector is doing some interesting trick in order to multiply those pixels. You will have 8.3 millions pixels on screen if you count them but they are basically obtained by multiplying 1080p pixels 4 times. Don't worry, the image will be much sharper than on a 1080p projector, if you don't have a native 4k projector side by side with a shift 4k, you won't notice the difference and even than only if you look carefully and you don't sit very far. Sharpness isn't a problem at all for those DLP projectors, other things are bad: native contrast, black levels, color luminance. They are ok if you don't pay more than 1500$. Don't be fooled by marketing, DLP projectors don't worth 4000-5000$ at all, none of them! If you can spend that much, buy a Sony 4k or better a JVC.
Thank you for your coverage of the very interesting UST projectors segment , have you got the Epson EH-LS500 UST projector for review yet? it seems very promising specially as the only one available with the 3LCD projecting technology , I would love your review & opinion about it , also a comparison of it against the Optoma P1 & this LG would be simply wonderful, thank you again for these excellent & informative videos .
i was about to buy this projector but not so sure now as the noise level would be annoying. does anyone no the throw distance of the optoma p1 for a 110 inch screen
the manual focus option is weird, its placement so that your hand is too close not to interfere with the laser source, and you need the picture to keep playing while adjusting, so it can't be equipped with object detect auto shutoff safety feature like on the other USTs. Seems like more engineering compromise than benefit, unless I'm missing something.
There is an auto shut-off. It kept shutting off when I was adjusting it so I turned it off. You have to try and not get in the way of the laser when focusing.
Even thinking about it longer and longer, i cannot find a good reason to buy this projector with that noise level and a black level of approx. 1 lumen for the same money as a JVC DLA N5... if it would be half loud and half price, then it could perhaps work out for people who insist to have an ultra short throw solution... The optoma might be closer to be a real option... My opinion of course :)
@@therealshanelee Thanks much. So I guess that means there is no excess burden or "wear" on one part of the projection system, say with a steady small part of the screen image being the same over time (???).
You want to know the problem with this UST projector? Hmm...uh..huh...It's 6000 DOLLARS!!!! The point of a UST is to try to replace a TV with big size. I'd rather have four 65 inch LG C9 OLEDS. A 77" C9 LG and save thousands. Almost an LG W9 77" wallpaper TV. I'd rather have a LG 86" LCD or a Sony 85" LCD TV for 2000 dollars. You can buy FOUR LG 86" TVs for the price of this. Oh, did I leave out: That's without the cost of a 100 inch screen? (A decent one = forget it) Did I also leave out that the 100-150 inch screen is permanently on the wall? So much for portability and 6 inches from the wall. A TV is on the wall. How cool USTs look. Still have multiple cables and a huge screen. This LG UST is also huge. Defeating the purpose. As a great projector yes. Not as a TV replacement. You can buy a 720P or a 1080P UST and save 5000 plus dollars. Then it's cost effective. You should be comparing this to another long throw or regular short through projectors. As in other projectors. Their are maybe two projectors on the market that have decent sound. That's like buying a flat screen TV and complaining about sound. This LG rivals most onboard TV speakers. The image also has to do with your inexpensive screen and I'm still trying to figure out what you are comparing this too. Black levels aren't great. Compared to what?? Interesting. It's a projector, projecting through light to a screen. -This is a decent overview
Did you have any trouble aligning the image to your screen? I can not get the bottom right corner or to right corner to be square with my screen. Bottom right is too far in to the left and to right is too far out the left. Tried adjusting the feet for hours.
lol, those specs are very far from reality, those are white lumens, not color. After calibration you will probably have around 1500 lumens or even less.
What are your suggestions for a screen for these UST projector's? My living room has no overhead lights but the ceiling and walls are white. Retractable screens might be considered depending on price. Looking for 120" or 135" if possible.
Hi Shane got a serious question i was going to buy a sony X9500G however i going to spend a bit more and get a UST Projector am looking at the Optoma P1, is this LG HU85 2200 dollars better in quality? all im after is vivid colors and good contrast to have blacks deep and HDR bright. The P1 sounds like my cup of tea however the true question is the LG85 worth 2200 over the P1? Cheers Bud keep up the reviews especially hte movie ones, im always buying the ones you mention.
I have Sony's VZ1000ES, LG's HU85LA and Optoma's CinemaX P1. Yes, Sony's native 4K HDR VZ1000ES UST projector does deliver the best overall picture quality. Specifically, Sony's VZ1000ES delivers deeper blacks, a moderately sharper image and the best color accuracy. Sony just dropped the MSRP to $14,999. I nick named them the Good, Better, & Best choices in the UST category.
I think the right question is which interface is better? Limited android interface or LG Webos. All devices have some features, but main difference is this. Such as Netflix does not work with xiaomi laser project or etc. It works with LG projectors.
SpareChange Yes I do. Don’t use cable and I don’t use TH-cam TV or Sling for Local Channels since OTA is free. Primarily I use local channels during football and basketball season.
@@klaymoon1 How can one make such brash statements when they don't even know the basics of these projectors? All of these 4k UST do 120 inch and some even 150 inch. I myself am in the market for the 85 Q7d, but only because it will work out better over my fireplace than an UST, otherwise, I would get the Optoma... and I am still having second thoughts. I have a 150 inch outdoor screen being fed by a 1080p Optoma projector and it's a better experience than my friends 75 4K LG (not OLED). It's hard to beat the immersion experience of a massive screen.
@@arturb5152 I think it comes down to preference. People are blown away by the Cinemax p1 picture quality and price wise. Shane likes the LG. Of course if you want a TV like experience you go with the LG because of webOS. Speaking for myself I would go with the Optoma. Both are nice. Before you buy you should check them out in person. You will be happy with either one.
Hello thanks fo the review, but i noticed that in your optoma short throw review the image of the lion king seem to have more color and pops more. any particular reason why ?
Yes, but where's the comparison to the OLED/LED? Title implies comparison, you even hint at it by mounting a TV behind the screen - yet.... no comparison. You mentioned it's coming soon, but I looked at all the video's since this one was published and nothing. I think a lot of people are interested in a head to head. Obviously the Sony you hung behind the LG/VividStorm combo will be better, but the question is how much better and does it matter, when you get such insane size? Etc... C'mon, get us some "vs" content :)
Its too big . it reminds me of when the VCR first came out , super big and clunky . In a few years or less it will be way smaller and less pricey . This is like buying a used car . NO CONTRACT !!
As convenient as it may be, a short throw DLP should not cost above $2.500... or any DLP for that matter. The blacks are never deep and the rainbow effect makes the picture unstable even for people like me that don't see it. The brain knows. The laser source is a good thing though but not $6.000 good.

@@valueelectronics9390 that's strange, it is already available here in Europe
i was about to buy this projector but not so sure now as the noise level would be annoying. does anyone no the throw distance of the optoma p1 for a 110 inch screen
Disney and Vudu are definitely available on my LG TV - strange.
I have Vudu and Disney+ on my 2016 LG OLED.
the manual focus option is weird, its placement so that your hand is too close not to interfere with the laser source, and you need the picture to keep playing while adjusting, so it can't be equipped with object detect auto shutoff safety feature like on the other USTs. Seems like more engineering compromise than benefit, unless I'm missing something.
There is an auto shut-off. It kept shutting off when I was adjusting it so I turned it off. You have to try and not get in the way of the laser when focusing.
@@therealshanelee thanks for clarifying!
Even thinking about it longer and longer, i cannot find a good reason to buy this projector with that noise level and a black level of approx. 1 lumen for the same money as a JVC DLA N5... if it would be half loud and half price, then it could perhaps work out for people who insist to have an ultra short throw solution... The optoma might be closer to be a real option... My opinion of course :)
Sometimes there's no space for a long throw. These would be the easiest option.
Does this have the burn in problems LG's other TV products are known for? Might still be interested, just very curious.
No it's not an oled.
@@therealshanelee Thanks much. So I guess that means there is no excess burden or "wear" on one part of the projection system, say with a steady small part of the screen image being the same over time (???).
You want to know the problem with this UST projector? Hmm...uh..huh...It's 6000 DOLLARS!!!! The point of a UST is to try to replace a TV with big size. I'd rather have four 65 inch LG C9 OLEDS. A 77" C9 LG and save thousands. Almost an LG W9 77" wallpaper TV. I'd rather have a LG 86" LCD or a Sony 85" LCD TV for 2000 dollars. You can buy FOUR LG 86" TVs for the price of this. Oh, did I leave out: That's without the cost of a 100 inch screen? (A decent one = forget it) Did I also leave out that the 100-150 inch screen is permanently on the wall? So much for portability and 6 inches from the wall. A TV is on the wall. How cool USTs look. Still have multiple cables and a huge screen. This LG UST is also huge. Defeating the purpose. As a great projector yes. Not as a TV replacement. You can buy a 720P or a 1080P UST and save 5000 plus dollars. Then it's cost effective. You should be comparing this to another long throw or regular short through projectors. As in other projectors. Their are maybe two projectors on the market that have decent sound. That's like buying a flat screen TV and complaining about sound. This LG rivals most onboard TV speakers. The image also has to do with your inexpensive screen and I'm still trying to figure out what you are comparing this too. Black levels aren't great. Compared to what?? Interesting. It's a projector, projecting through light to a screen. -This is a decent overview
Did you have any trouble aligning the image to your screen? I can not get the bottom right corner or to right corner to be square with my screen. Bottom right is too far in to the left and to right is too far out the left. Tried adjusting the feet for hours.
Took me about 5 minutes if your level.
How does this compare to Wemax One Pro? Does it match the Wemax's 7000 lumens brightness?
lol, those specs are very far from reality, those are white lumens, not color. After calibration you will probably have around 1500 lumens or even less.
Would you say it's worth it to switch a 77C9 OLED to this projector? If you could only get one or the other
I would.
What are your suggestions for a screen for these UST projector's? My living room has no overhead lights but the ceiling and walls are white. Retractable screens might be considered depending on price. Looking for 120" or 135" if possible.
look at vivdstorm screen for ust projectors...
Can anybody compare this projector against Del s718ql?
Hi Shane got a serious question i was going to buy a sony X9500G however i going to spend a bit more and get a UST Projector am looking at the Optoma P1, is this LG HU85 2200 dollars better in quality?
all im after is vivid colors and good contrast to have blacks deep and HDR bright.
The P1 sounds like my cup of tea however the true question is the LG85 worth 2200 over the P1?
Cheers Bud keep up the reviews especially hte movie ones, im always buying the ones you mention.
Get the P1.
Does this support 3D movies?
Sony vlz1000 is the best short throw in the market and has a 3d option.
A lot more money though.
I have Sony's VZ1000ES, LG's HU85LA and Optoma's CinemaX P1. Yes, Sony's native 4K HDR VZ1000ES UST projector does deliver the best overall picture quality. Specifically, Sony's VZ1000ES delivers deeper blacks, a moderately sharper image and the best color accuracy. Sony just dropped the MSRP to $14,999. I nick named them the Good, Better, & Best choices in the UST category.
Just bought a b grade model for half the price! Thank you for your review. I probably buy a black crystal screen to pop the colours more.
I am awaiting more on the epson ls500 and rationalizing between it and the Optoma P1. Have you seen the ls500 yet?
th-cam.com/video/lgWdA6ncvtQ/w-d-xo.html
@@therealshanelee thank you...love the work by the way. Do you mind sharing your honest opinion between the ls500 and the P1?
P1
I think the right question is which interface is better? Limited android interface or LG Webos. All devices have some features, but main difference is this. Such as Netflix does not work with xiaomi laser project or etc. It works with LG projectors.
Webos functions exactly the same as their TV's. It's the clear winner.
Could you do a review on Epson EH-LS500?
Possibly
Price
6k??? no way.........
Does it support Dolby vision ?
Bruh watch the video.
How does the absence of HLG affect future proof of this projector for ASTC 3.0? Big deal?
Do you use an antenna?
SpareChange Yes I do. Don’t use cable and I don’t use TH-cam TV or Sling for Local Channels since OTA is free. Primarily I use local channels during football and basketball season.
Are you getting 4k where your located? We don't here in CT.
SpareChange TX is suppose to be part of first wave this year but nothing yet.
I been hearing about it forever and have yet to hear of HLG being a thing. Here in the US anyways.
For this price i would buy it 4000 Lumen + Black finish + Cailing option
So I say $3800 85 inch Q7D from Costco is better value than this?
Not if your need a big screen.
SpareChange would this go above 100 inch? I remember the first gen was maxed around 100 inch.
@@klaymoon1 you'll have to pull it further away from the wall to get it bigger.
@@klaymoon1 How can one make such brash statements when they don't even know the basics of these projectors? All of these 4k UST do 120 inch and some even 150 inch. I myself am in the market for the 85 Q7d, but only because it will work out better over my fireplace than an UST, otherwise, I would get the Optoma... and I am still having second thoughts. I have a 150 inch outdoor screen being fed by a 1080p Optoma projector and it's a better experience than my friends 75 4K LG (not OLED). It's hard to beat the immersion experience of a massive screen.
@@goliathonscave9834 What do you mean brash statements? As I had stated, the 1st gen USTs were maxed around 100 inches.
what is the name of those hooks to hang that 92inch screen pretty handy?
@17:36
DIY solution with some sanus speaker stand parts.
Is it better than Optoma CinemaX P1 ?
🤔
I thinks it's hard to tell.
@@JayCham_JC even if you see side by side ?
@@arturb5152 I think it comes down to preference. People are blown away by the Cinemax p1 picture quality and price wise. Shane likes the LG. Of course if you want a TV like experience you go with the LG because of webOS. Speaking for myself I would go with the Optoma.
Both are nice. Before you buy you should check them out in person. You will be happy with either one.
I think still better optoma P1... you are not showing the stength of this product Which is more expense.. just show the menu...what for?
Maybe watch all the way through.
$6000 and only 2 HDMI ports??
Will it support 3d movies plz plz reply
nope
That box has been through hell.
Good thing I got 2.
Background music is too loud man. Tough to focus on what you are saying
Wtf
Hello thanks fo the review, but i noticed that in your optoma short throw review the image of the lion king seem to have more color and pops more. any particular reason why ?
My guess is it's the Apple TV helping.
Why do you sound almost exactly like the youtuber LGR?
We are one and the same. Whoever they are.
let's be honest, this is a great setup clip, but really bad review clip
🥱
Not bad, but i wait until sony bring something like this with real android on it. Maybe next year i hope.
Yes, but where's the comparison to the OLED/LED? Title implies comparison, you even hint at it by mounting a TV behind the screen - yet.... no comparison. You mentioned it's coming soon, but I looked at all the video's since this one was published and nothing. I think a lot of people are interested in a head to head. Obviously the Sony you hung behind the LG/VividStorm combo will be better, but the question is how much better and does it matter, when you get such insane size? Etc... C'mon, get us some "vs" content :)
Better than LED yes but not OLED
You did not point out that this projector has no 3D. In conclusion, $6k, white case, no 3D, no buy.
wow
Six grand? damn. I don't know man...
diablo escarlata don't worry, by this time next year you will be seeing sub 2000s
DTM needs work. Like my JVC 4K 2000 DTM better
awesome ..I love it
Oled is future and the future is only LG...
I watched all the way through to get your opinion on the value and you didn’’t say if you felt it was worth the money or not. Disappointing.
th-cam.com/video/dirQ_scUI3s/w-d-xo.html
Its too big . it reminds me of when the VCR first came out , super big and clunky . In a few years or less it will be way smaller and less pricey . This is like buying a used car . NO CONTRACT !!
So it’s priced at native 4K but isn’t native 4K, if I thought the p1 was overpriced this is overly priced
Why the f** they added thinQ every where it feels LG will become ThinQ one day
Pixel shifting crap. They aren’t 4K.
I’ll be furious if I pay $6000 and I receive a box looking like that in the mail😤
As convenient as it may be, a short throw DLP should not cost above $2.500... or any DLP for that matter. The blacks are never deep and the rainbow effect makes the picture unstable even for people like me that don't see it. The brain knows. The laser source is a good thing though but not $6.000 good.
I hate webos by lg! Nothing but useless apps!!!!! I wish I cld uninstalled the webos interface n instead android interface!!!
Hi! Nice review! Is this better than optoma uhz65ust?
Bout the same.
Does ultra short throw gives good black contrast or you may need very dark ALR?
It's good enough.
Always love your reviews!
Please do a review on the new sclx-904 pioneer flagship.
Is Netflex and Amazon Prime available in the content store? What about Hulu?
Just Netflix.
I have all the major streaming apps on my LG TV from the LG store. It's really strange that they are not available for the projector.
