Ultra Short Throw (UST) projectors have transformed the home entertainment industry by letting you enjoy large, sharp images from just inches away. Unlike a few years ago, today’s UST projectors offer impressive quality in both 4K and 1080p, and now manufacturers are competing to miniaturize the UST technology. LG embraced this trend with its CineBeam S (PU615U) model, launched a few months back during CES 2025. Touted as LG’s smallest UST projector to date, the CineBeam S is now being made available for purchase worldwide.
LG has made a name with its CineBeam ultra short throw (UST) 4K projector, which is now being strengthened with the CineBeam S (PU615U). This brand-new model is designed to maximize space efficiency and blend into any home setting. The projector looks like a small box, measuring 110 x 160 x 160mm and weighing 4.1 lbs (about 1.9kg). Featuring a minimalistic metallic finish, it will be like a premium appliance in the home.
Despite the compact size, the projector with 3-ch RGB laser delivers 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution with 500 ANSI lumens of brightness and 450,000:1 contrast ratio for vivid, lifelike visuals. It reaches 154 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and supports HDR 10 and HLG formats.
With a throw ratio of 0.25, it can project a 100-inch image from just 15.7 inches (approx. 40cm) away from the wall. The projector also has a built-in stereo sound system with Dolby Atmos support to provide spatial sound. There is an HDMI and two USB Type-C ports onboard to connect the projector to your laptop, soundbar, and other compatible devices. It supports a 4K 30Hz by connecting the external device with a USB Type-C port.

Other highlighting features are LG ThinQ, AirPlay 2, and Screen Share support, Auto Screen Adjustment, Wall Color Adjustment, and Screen Scaling/Shifting that ensure stress-free setup as per different room configurations and types of wall surfaces.
The LG CineBeam UST 4K projector is gradually appearing on various regional websites. It is now available for pre-order on the LG Canada website and listed at around $2,500 on LG Australia’s site.
