This Nostalgic Find Is the Perfect Family Movie Night Upgrade

Nothing beats having the whole crew snuggled up together watching a movie. Whether you’re introducing the little ones to your childhood favorites or watching the latest animated hit, movie nights are one of those family activities that are low on effort and big on memory-making. And we’ve got a way to make them even more memorable.

Projectors — the once-bulky devices that parents remember from classroom presentations and vacation slideshows — have grown up and slimmed down. The LG CineBeam Q 4K UHD Smart Portable Laser Projector is a sleek, modernist cube that’s small enough to fit on your bookshelf yet powerful enough to turn a weeknight watch into an unforgettable, theater-quality event.

A Projector That Meets All the Needs of Modern Life

The LG CineBeam Q has a compact design and clocks in at just three pounds, making it no harder to find a spot for than a picture frame. Just point it at a blank wall or other flat surface and enjoy everything from cartoons to movies in crisp 4K. With superior resolution, color accuracy, contrast ratio, and brightness, the kids will be wowed — even by the episodes they’ve watched 100 times.

The Perfect Projector for Movie Night and Beyond

And thanks to its small size and 360-degree rotating handle that doubles as a kickstand, the LG CineBeam Q isn’t limited to movie night. The auto-screen adjustment technology creates a clean-cut rectangular screen of up to 120 inches on any blank wall — even the ceiling! Take it to the backyard or the kids’ room for instant entertainment anywhere. Use it to project photos at your child’s next birthday party or cast a starry night sky on the ceiling for a living room campout.
