Technical specifications

The simple LG HU915QE is your perfect TV replacement with its large 4K HDR picture in every living room and shows how easy modern television can be. Numerous streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube or DAZN make every streaming and film heart beat faster at the touch of a button and with the excellent, integrated multi-channel soundbar the 4K home cinema starts at home.

Sharp 4K picture

The combination of single DLP projection with the large 0.66" 4K chip (native 2,716 x 1,528) harmonizes perfectly and shows a sharp 4K image without any convergence. Existing Blu-Rays, DVDs or TV programs are automatically converted to 4K and its 8th generation .3 million pixels upscaled so that all content can benefit from enhanced 4K Ultra HD picture quality from a seat distance of 2.5m.

 

Dynamic HDR Tone Mapping

The white LG HU915QE supports all common HDR (High Dynamic Range) image formats such as HDR10, HLG and HGiG: The LG HDR tone mapping is worth its weight in gold in 4K HDR playback, as the maximum contrast range of the 4K Laser TV is available. Your HU915QE image processor scans the played 4K image scene by scene in real time and then automatically corrects the maximum nit output (peak brightness) for an ideal display of bright content such as clear differentiation of the dark image areas. The LG HDR picture convinces in practice.

The black value of the LG HU915QE is visibly improved by fast and effective real-time laser control (adaptive contrast). The dynamic contrast benefits from the elaborate light path optimization, so that the laser TV image is very vivid and realistic at the same time.

 

Extended cinema color space

The triple laser technology is particularly pure in color with high color saturation, which is particularly evident in the color space display in practice. The LG HU915QE color space almost completely covers the DCI P3 (professional cinema) color space without light-absorbing color filters at full image brightness. With its color performance, your LG Laser TV exploits the potential of 4K streams, 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays and 4K games.

The interframe calculation

The TruMotion interframe calculation guarantees more sharpness of movement and smooth 24p film playback thanks to interframes calculated in real time. At least 30 frames per second are required for realistic movements and continuous camera pans, which the new LG HU915QE image processor calculates without artifacts using frame interpolation. With the TruMotion interframe calculation, LG is one of the few laser TV manufacturers that allows individual adjustment and prevents the "soap effect".

 

Low input lag and ALLM

A big advantage for all gamers is the HDMI 2.1 connection for ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) support, which automatically switches to gaming mode with reduced input lag when the game console is started. The effective LG optimization of video processing enables a particularly low input lag of 42.6ms in 4K at 60Hz and 21.3ms in Full HD at 120Hz for faster action/shooter games.

Advantage of triple laser technology

The LG HU915QE is based on the specially developed RBB Triple Laser light source for a particularly large color space with high image brightness without the disadvantages of a DLP color wheel. The LG HU915QE Laser TV has other advantages over a laser TV with a conventional UHP projector lamp:

1.     Very high light output: Depending on the laser diode cluster, very high light outputs can be projected
2.     Best color stability: Laser diodes keep their color performance stable for a long time without drifts and color brightness loss
3.     Low projector on/off times: Laser TVs are ready to start displaying images within seconds
4.     No follow-up costs: A projector lamp replacement with additional costs is not necessary with the LG HU915QE
5.     Continuous use: Like classic televisions, Laser TVs are approved for long-term continuous use

Streaming apps and media players

Your LG HU915QE has an integrated media player with a large selection of streaming apps, which can be called up via WLAN at the touch of a button via the LG MagicRemote remote control, just like on a television. Additional apps can be installed from the WebOS 6.0 Appstore:

1.     Video streaming apps: Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Disney+, Sky Ticket, DAZN, RakutenTV, Maxdome, SMART IPTV
2.     Music streaming apps: Spotify, RadioPlayer, Deezer
3.     Browser: Google Chrome

You can use the integrated media player to play additional videos, audio and photos in the following formats via USB, Android or iOS:

1.     Video formats: AVI, MKV, MPEG1/2.4, MOV, MP4, H.263, H.264
2.     Audio formats: PCM, LPCM, AAC, WMA, AVI, MP3, MP4, DTS, Dolby Digital (Plus)
3.     Image formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP

Fully integrated soundbar

Hidden behind the dark gray acoustic fabric is the invisibly integrated soundbar: the fully separated loudspeakers along with bass reproduction create a very harmonious surround experience that a classic television could hardly achieve. The loudspeaker equalizer allows the sound reproduction to be adjusted to the room at a later date. If you want real multi-channel sound without an additional AV receiver, you can combine two optional, wireless LG Bluetooth speakers into a 4.2 speaker setup controlled by the LG HU915QE.

The Laser TV setup is simple and the wireless connection of additional LG Bluetooth speakers results in precise surround sound without cable clutter in the living room.The Samsung LSP9T could also be equipped with a triple laser as a 4K laser TV alternative with integrated TV tuners and streaming apps for your home cinema.

 

Setup and Image Width Calculator

The LG HU915QE has high-performance ultra-short-throw optics: at a steep 45° angle, the laser TV image is projected onto the screen from the shortest possible distance. With auto focus and keystone correction (professional image warping), the final image alignment succeeds.
