SEOUL -- LG Electronics, one of the world's top LED beam project makers, started receiving pre-orders Monday for an ultra-high-definition laser projector, scheduled for release next month, that allows viewers to enjoy a clear image in daylight.
LG said in a statement that its new product, CineBeam Laser 4K, can create an image in 4K (3,840 X 2,160 pixels) resolution, the highest among commercial displays and projectors.
LG said the new projector is 165 millimeters wide (6.5 inches) and long. It is 470mm tall and similar to a large Thermos flask and its upper part has a built-in mirror that allows viewers to change the angle of projection. According to PMA, a London-based market analyst group, the 4K beam projector market would rise to 1.8 million units in 2020 from 90,000 last year.
