Since Apple opened the door for other manufacturers to use AirPlay technology, the number of products that we can find in the market compatible with this technology is increasing, which undoubtedly always benefits users and it does not harm the Cupertino-based company in any way, if you thought that might be the reason for not offering its technology to third parties.
The latest manufacturer to take advantage of the audio and video streaming capabilities that AirPlay 2 offers is the Korean manufacturer LG. It has announced the launch date of a new projector with 4K resolution and that is capable of reaching 300 inches. Supports HDR10, will hit the market on January 18 And, unsurprisingly, it won't be cheap.
Starting January 18, LG's AirPlay 810-compatible project HU2P will be available for sale for $ 2.999 (At the moment the price that it will have in Europe is not known). According to LG, the HU810P project is capable of creating an image of up to 300 inches, it is compatible with HDR10 and HLG HDR technology. In addition, it is capable of adjusting the image automatically depending on the lighting conditions in the room. The laser light source lasts for 20.000 hours of use (equivalent to 15 years of use).
Inside this projector, you will find WebOS 5 (the same operating system that we can find in the televisions of this manufacturer). It includes the usual applications of streaming video services such as HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus and Youtube.
Like AirPlay 2 is supported also offers support for Miracast. It has three HDMI connections in total, one of them being HDMI 2.1. It is compatible with eARC to improve sound quality, audio content can be sent via bluetooth and inside we find both Google Assistant and Alexa. If you were thinking of buying a projector and you have a budget of about 3.000 euros, the option that LG offers us with the HU81oP does not look bad at all.
