[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this projector about a month or so ago and I was amazed with how the projector performed. LG had done an awesome jobs. this projector works great with well lite rooms.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first projector investment and i wanted to future proof it with a laser. While others have mentioned the lack in contrast, I've enjoyed it and am very impressed with the color, which was honestly my primary consideration because i was worried about going from a tv and excited about hdr.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG HU810PW 4K UHD Smart Dual Laser CineBeam Projector is truly amazing and a perfect one for having the best movies and watching experience at home. It has superb colors and contrast. Connecting a Bluetooth device is very easy and quick. Controlling the lens shift and screen size is also very easy. The downside is the weight of the projector at 25 Lbs. Other than that, it is the perfect projector you need for your home. I received this product at a discount for my honest opinion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this projector for nearly 1 month now and it is incredible. Like watching a 120 inch OLED tv (that's right there is no 120 inch OLED screen). You and your friends will be totally in awe.

Constant DTM/HDR issues, an immense amount of blue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Many have commented in the avsforum owners thread here https://www.avsforum.com/threads/official-lg-cinebeam-hu810pw-au810pb-projector-owners-thread.3193461/page-29#post-60840484
The unit looks great with SDR, once calibrated, but pushes a massive amount of blue that is almost impossible to calibrate out (-50 on blue and +50 on green for many IREs). Iris settings below 6 are basically unusable as the blue goes crazy and can't be calibrated out.
Furthermore, a ton of challenges with HDR content looking very dark with crushed blacks and grey backgrounds on many titles, implying the Dynamic Tone Mapping algorithm needs a ton of work.
Netflix does not work as a built in app. 24p handling is poor (incorporates 3:2 pulldown and fails 24p tests). Terrible lip sync issues.
I'm really hoping LG can fix/address these in a firmware update, as otherwise this was an expensive mistake.
Also, the vertical shift is no where near what LG claims, especially when ceiling mounted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 6-weeks of use and fine tuning, I can confidently say this is an amazing projector and a significant upgrade from projectors twice the price just 5-years ago. I replaced a high-end Panasonic bulb projector that was an excellent projector, but the overall improvement with the LG unit is night and day. I highly recommend this projector whether you have a dedicated dark room or a light room that normally would suffer the consequences of a faded picture.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this projector to replace an excellent Epson HD LCD projector. I was attracted to the laser light source and liked that this LG model had two separate colors which I thought would reduce the likelihood of rainbow patterns and indeed I haven't noticed these at all so far. The 4K is crisp and the picture is bright. HDR mode is very noticeable and I like the range of picture options. I use an Apple 4K TV and Xbox Series X so wasn't too interested in the onboard WebOS but its generally pretty responsive and intuitive so probably useful to have. The projected image does have a small thin light border and in super-widescreen 2.35:1 mode there are of course lighter bars at top and bottom; I'm not sure why with all the adaptive dimming technology they couldn't make it go really dark in those areas too, but projecting onto a wall with custom sprayed paint using MissisipiMan's formula in the AVSforum works really well with this projector and still looks better than the movie theater and is a big improvement over the Epson because of the 4K and laser technology, and is now useable in a brighter room. My advice is save your money on the expensive screen and splurge on this projector if you are thinking about it. I do think this technology is a generation ahead of the last and what's nice is it's also LG quality (I knew they made the best LCD IPS panels for computer displays as we have 6 of them, but now find they make really good projectors too) and really nice design and aesthetics. Switching on and off is fast and reliable and ambient noise seems quieter than anything else we have in the media room. We run a 30ft HDMI cable originally intended for 18Gbps through the ceiling and I was glad it didn't have to be replaced and meets all the XBox and Apple diagnostic tests at 4K/60Hz and 1080p/120Hz and works well with ARC sound too, even with a 3 year old receiver.
