Can play HDR video!

While TV screens are continually getting bigger, LG hasn’t given up on the projector market. At CES 2018, the company is bringing a new 4K projector that breaks barriers without breaking wallets.

The LG HU80K is the company’s first 4K UHD projector. It promises ultra-sharp and vibrant images that rival those in the UHD TV segment. The tech’s promise has already garnered it a Best of Innovation award at CES.

The home-ready system can deliver up to a 150-inch screen at a blazing 2,500 lumens. At its size, the projector can easily playback videos at Blu-ray resolution. In addition, it’s compatible with HDR 10, allowing for images that will make you reconsider your TV purchases.

Despite its power, the HU80K is designed to be smaller than its competitors. The reduced size allows for a more conservative price that shouldn’t break the bank. Concept images also hint that the projector is capable of short-throw usage.

Its upright design makes the projector compatible with both portable and mounted use. Those who prefer the projector on a stand will enjoy the included carrying handle and Auto Cord feature. The Mirror Reflector may also act as a cover for the lens when the projector isn’t in use. A pair of built-in 7W speakers negates the need for an external sound bar or speaker system.

As for content, the HU80K comes with LG’s webOS 3.5 interface. The system enables access to the standard array of streaming services. The device is also compatible with USB, Ethernet, and HDMI cables. It also includes wireless support for keyboards and mice.

The LG HU80K projector joins LG’s new audio options and smart kitchen appliances on display at CES 2018.

Inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume

GameSir has officially launched a special edition G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition controller.

This high-performance multi-platform controller works with Xbox, PC, and Android, and features a striking new design that ties in with 505 Games’ latest title.

The controller is now available on the GameSir website for US$ 99.99 / £ 109.99 / PhP 5,900. It will be available on Amazon as well by October.

The G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume.

It has a distinct blue green appearance, with both sides draped in golden dragon scales that have been enhanced with layered UV resin textures.

The smart charging station features the Soulslike title’s logo, while the A, Y, X, and B buttons also have the game’s font.

Beyond aesthetics, the controller retains key features from the original G7 Pro. It features tri-mode connectivity so users can connect via 2.4GHz wireless, wired, or Bluetooth. It also supports one-press wake-up for Xbox consoles.

At the core of the controller’s precision is GameSir Mag-Res TMR stick technology. This combines the low power consumption of traditional potentiometers and the longevity and stability of Hall Effect sticks.

The result is faster response times, as well as consistent in-game control. This is further supported by a 1000Hz polling rate when connected to PC or 2.4GHz.

In addition, the G7 Pro introduces four customizable macro buttons: two mini bumpers and two lockable back buttons. This gives gamers a flexible configuration. A built-in gyroscope (for PC only) also enables intuitive motion input mapping.

Furthermore, the optical micro switch ABXY buttons and mechanical micro D-pad ensure crisp, esports-level feedback. The four independent rumble motors (one in each grip and trigger) deliver immersive, localized haptic feedback.

Accessories include:

  • 3m Type-C cable
  • 2.4GHz wireless dongle
  • cable retainer
  • two extra D-pads
  • smart charging station
