Lumio has announced the launch of two new smart projectors, the Arc 5 and Arc 7, as part of its entry into India’s growing but underdeveloped home projector segment. The company aims to address a clear gap in the market, where most options are either low-end devices under Rs. 12,000 ($140) or expensive models priced above Rs. 50,000 ($584).
Lumio Arc 5 and Arc 7 Specifications
The Arc series targets the midrange segment between Rs. 20,000 ($234) and Rs. 50,000 ($584), which remains largely unserved in India. Lumio has built these projectors to solve common consumer frustrations, including poor app compatibility, weak audio performance, clunky setup processes, and lack of reliable service support.
Both models run Google TV and come with Netflix certification, providing users access to over 10,000 apps and 400,000+ movies and shows. Lumio has backed the launch with a service network of over 200 centers across India and includes a 1-year warranty.
The Arc 5 is a compact projector designed for bedrooms, dorm rooms, or travel. It features 200 ANSI lumens of brightness, supports Full HD 1080p resolution with HDR10, and projects up to a 100-inch screen. The Arc 5 weighs just 1.33 kg and includes 5W speakers with Dolby Audio and dual passive radiators for improved bass.
The more powerful Arc 7 targets larger living rooms. It offers 400 ANSI lumens of brightness and includes 2x8W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio and a larger passive radiator. It also supports a 100-inch screen and uses the same sealed ArcLight Engine as the Arc 5 to prevent dust buildup and maintain long-term image quality.
Both projectors feature auto-keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and instant autofocus using a built-in Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. Lumio calls this system STR8 (Smooth Trapezoidal Recalibration), which simplifies the setup experience for users. Internally, they run on the MediaTek 9630 chip with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.
Lumio also introduced the new Minion Noir remote, which includes dedicated buttons for Google Assistant, Netflix, YouTube, and TLDR, Lumio’s proprietary dashboard for live sports updates and curated music content.
