LG projectors are still on sale post-Memorial Day — save $300

Add as a preferred source on Google

Memorial Day is over but the sales remain. Well, at least in some places. Today, you can get some of LG’s best projectors for hundreds of dollars off. Here, we’ll look at just a couple of them. One, a budget projector that will keep you happy if you want to explore projectors for the first time in a long time (they’ve come a long way since your middle school math class) and another one of higher quality that still has an approachable price. These are the LG projector deals that we still keep thinking about.

LG CineBeam PF510Q — $500, was $600

The LG CineBeam PF510Q is one of LG’s simpler projectors, and a great way to get immersed into the hobby. It throws light at 1080p to make a “screen” of light equivalent to that of a 30 to 120 inch TV, take your pick. It has an auto vertical keystone, helping you get your picture into alignment and keeping the edges of the frame straight and tall even when aiming at a slight angle. Despite the budget pricing this is a full, app-based projector with LG’s webOS, making it easy to access Netflix and Disney+ and more, natively. At this price, this can easily become one of the best projectors under $500.

If you want one of the best 4K projectors that is currently on sale, consider the LG CineBeam HU70LAB, one of LG’s smart home theater projectors. It projects up to 140 inches at 1,500 lumens of brightness, giving a clear, crisp picture. It comes with the standards we think of for modern TVs, too, with HDR10 and TruMotion as well as voice assistant control. One nicety of the LG CineBeam HU70LAB is its ability to be ceiling mounted. Not only does that free up space for you down on the ground, it also helps you avoid the awkwardness of having your shadow being projected onto the wall every time you go to the restroom and makes it so once you get your setup just right you never have to do it again. The LG CineBeam HU70LAB has HDMI, USB-A, and USB-C ports.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
