LG’s compact CineBeam S is rolling out to more European markets, bringing an ultra-short-throw 4K laser experience to small spaces. In Germany, the projector is available to order for €1,299, with shipping slated to begin on September 15. The smarter buy, though, is the promotional bundle that adds the LG xboom Bounce by will.i.am speaker—typically around €200—at no extra cost as a free preorder bonus.
Designed for tight setups, this UST model can sit just inches from the wall. It projects a 40-inch image from only 3.2 inches away, thanks to a 0.25:1 throw ratio, making it easy to park on a desk or media console. LG touts a razor-sharp 4K picture achieved via pixel shifting, an established technique that still delivers crisp detail.
Despite its small footprint, color performance is a standout. LG claims coverage of 154% of the DCI-P3 color space, so movies and games should look richly saturated. Brightness is rated at 500 ANSI lumens, which is best suited for darker rooms or controlled lighting rather than sunlit spaces.
The CineBeam S is built for portability. It measures 6.3 x 4.3 x 6.3 inches and weighs under 4.4 lbs, so moving it between rooms or taking it to a friend’s place is easy. A remote is included, and connectivity is straightforward with HDMI and USB-C on board.
