Stepping up to the HU915QB adds the larger DLP chip (0.66” DMD), the brighter multi-channel laser light source, and adjustable optics. The result is better color reproduction, more brightness, higher native contrast, and a sharper image for about $2500 more.
The 3700 lumen LG HU915QE ($5999 SRP) is another option for those who desire additional brightness to overcome ambient light. This unit also retails for $500 less and it offers many of the same features as the HU915QB.
Overall, I was very pleased with the overall performance of the HU915QB. Due to its good picture quality, extensive feature set, and beautiful design, the HU915QB has been given a Projector Reviews Highly Recommended Award.
