I've been waiting for this ultra-portable 4K projector – now it's here, you'll want it too
Portable projectors can provide you with a mini home cinema wherever you might go. Since January this year, I've been excited for LG's newest ultra short throw projector since it was announced at CES in January this year. Now that it's finally here, I'm convinced that you'll want it too. Measuring just 110x160x160mm and barely tipping the scales at 1.9kg, the CineBeam S still manages to cram in 4K resolution, Dolby Atmos, built-in stereo speakers, and LG's webOS platform.

Plus, it can scale all the way up to 100 inches at just under 40cm away from the wall. No ceiling mounts, no 12-metre HDMI cables snaking across the living room, and no need to rearrange furniture like you're staging a property listing. Just plonk it down, and you're off. LG's included auto screen alignment and colour adjustment mean you don't need to be an expert to get things looking spot-on. There's also Screen Scaling & Shifting to dial things in without physically moving the projector. Plus, Wall Colour Adjustment lets you use the projector even if you don't have white walls. As for the image quality, it's no slouch. With 154 percent DCI-P3 coverage and a 450000:1 contrast ratio, it's built to handle vibrant colours and deep blacks. The 500 ANSI lumens brightness may not blow the roof off, but it's perfectly serviceable for most real-world lighting conditions – especially considering the ultra-portable form factor. Connectivity is spot-on for what you'd expect in 2025. USB-C, HDMI, AirPlay 2, and wireless screen sharing mean your phone, tablet, or laptop is always can be your source. LG's ThinQ app lets you control the whole thing from your phone without frantically hunting for the remote. The CineBeam S is officially launching at £1099, with UK pre-orders and release expected in September. US pricing and availability are still under wraps.

LG RELEASES SECOND-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced consolidated revenue of USD 14.77 billion and operating profit of USD 455.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. Both revenue and operating profit declined year-over-year, primarily due to continued global market softness, increased tariff burdens driven by changes in U.S. trade policy, and intensified competition. Rising costs, including logistics expenses, also weighed on overall profitability compared to the same period last year. Despite these challenges, the Home Appliance Solution (HS), Vehicle Solution (VS) and Eco Solution (ES) Companies delivered strong performance, each posting year-over-year increases in both revenue and operating profit. All three Companies achieved their highest-ever second-quarter results. In particular, the VS Company recorded its best quarterly revenue and operating profit in history. Meanwhile, the Media Entertainment Solution (MS) Company reported an operating loss, primarily due to lower TV sales and increased marketing spend. However, its webOS platform-based advertising and content business continued to generate stable profits, increasingly contributing to the Company's overall performance. Building Stronger Foundation for Qualitative Growth LG continues to strengthen its business fundamentals by focusing on B2B segments such as vehicle components and HVAC systems, non-hardware businesses including subscription services and the webOS platform, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) operations via its online platform, In Q2 2025, B2B revenue – including vehicle, component and smart factory solutions, as well as HVAC – rose 3 percent year-over-year to USD 4.42 billion. Revenue from the home appliance subscription business increased 18 percent, reaching USD 448.7 million. These segments remain central to the company's ongoing portfolio transformation. The B2B business is less susceptible to demand volatility and benefits from strong entry barriers due to solution-based customer relationships. Non-hardware businesses offer recurring revenue and high margins, while the D2C channel enhances profitability and brand equity. Q2 2025 Results & Outlook by Company LG Home Appliance Solution (HS) Company The HS Company posted second-quarter revenue of USD 4.69 billion and operating profit of USD 313.2 million, achieving its highest-ever second-quarter performance. Despite soft consumer demand, tariff pressures and rising freight costs, the Company maintained strong global competitiveness. Its dual-track strategy – targeting both premium and mass-market segments – continued to drive solid results. The subscription model business continued its rapid expansion. Operational efficiencies and production optimization helped offset increased costs and support profitability. Looking ahead, market recovery is expected to remain gradual amid heightened competition. The Company will focus on expanding its subscription and D2C businesses and pursue additional cost improvements to help mitigate U.S. tariff impacts. While logistics cost pressures are projected to ease slightly compared to late 2024 and early 2025, the Company plans to carefully manage marketing expenditures to sustain or exceed last year's level of operating profit. LG Media Entertainment Solution (MS) Company The MS Company posted second-quarter revenue of USD 3.13 billion and an operating loss of USD 136.5 million, primarily due to softened demand leading to lower TV sales and increased marketing expenses in response. Going forward, the Company will focus on enhancing operational efficiency across all business segments. It plans to expand its presence in Global South markets such as India, where demand remains relatively strong. Continued growth is also expected in the webOS platform business, with new content offerings in areas such as gaming and digital art. LG Vehicle Solution (VS) Company The VS Company generated record second-quarter revenue of USD 2.03 billion and operating profit of USD 89.9 million – the highest in its history. Performance was supported by a robust order backlog and increased OEM vehicle sales, particularly in Europe. A strategic shift toward premium in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems significantly enhanced profitability, while operational efficiency improvements in electric vehicle components and lighting systems further bolstered results. Moving forward, the Company will focus on strengthening relationships with key customers and maintaining profitability through ongoing efficiency gains. LG Eco Solution (ES) Company The ES Company achieved second-quarter revenue of USD 1.88 billion and operating profit of USD 178.4 million, marking a record for second-quarter performance. This growth was driven by strong demand for residential air conditioners in Korea and continued expansion in the commercial and industrial HVAC segments. Higher sales volumes boosted operating leverage, leading to improved profitability. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the Company aims to capture replacement demand for high-efficiency products while expanding its product portfolio to support long-term growth. It also plans to explore new opportunities in emerging sectors such as AI data centers by enhancing its commercial HVAC and industrial chiller capabilities – including systems for power generation – and scaling up its liquid-cooling solutions business.
