The projector carries a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with WiFi and Miracast compatibility. LG claims the laser system will run for up to 25,000 hours without replacement.

According to an LG South Africa executive the projector and the 100-inch’ specialised screen is set to cost around R110,000. The projector alone is set to cost around R55,000, he said.
