Following the Amazon Prime Day sale discount on the Lumio Arc 7, the company has just started rolling out the more affordable Arc 5 model in the Indian market. Like the higher end variant, the new projector also comes with special launch offers, so here are all the details.

Lumio Arc 5 Projector Drops in India

The new Indian tech brand just released the Arc 5 in the Indian market via Amazon India. The Arc 5 model is a portable projector thanks to its light 1.33 kilogram weight. Despite its compact form factor, the Lumio Arc 5 can project a screen size of up to 100 inches. This screen has a resolution of 1080p, while also supporting the HDR10 standard and Google TV.

The Lumio Arc 5 arrives with the brand’s proprietary ArcLight Engine, TL;DR, 200 ANSI lumens of brightness, and an Under Stand that helps tilt the projector. Lumio also brings native support for apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek 9630 SoC with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. This projector was built with a sealed and dust proof body that was designed in Bangalore.

Other notable features include Google TV, Bluetooth Speaker Mode, two 5W speakers with dual passive radiators, Dolby Atmos support, obstacle avoidance, and even a TOF sensor for autofocus. Lumio pairs the Arc 5 with the Minion remote, which supports Google Assistant voice control and dedicated shortcut buttons. The Arc 5 was announced for 19,999 INR, with an introductory price tag of 17,499 INR.

The post Lumio Arc 5 finally on sale: Up to 100 inches FHD projection on a budget appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you’re considering a new projector, the newly launched Lumio Arc 7 and Arc 5 models are two strong contenders worth looking at. Both offer solid specs for home entertainment, but they have slightly different specs and arrive at distinct price points. So here’s a comparison that breaks down the key differences to help you decide which projector best suits your needs.

Lumio Arc 7 or Arc 5: Portability

Between the two Arc models, Lumio’s Arc 5 is positioned as a portable option (112 x 142.5 x 185mm). Weighing just 1.33 kilograms, this smart projector can easily be carried around since it has a heft similar to that of a thin-and-light laptop. On the other hand, the Lumio Arc 7 is the larger projector (127.6 x 197.2 x 214.8mm), which has a heavier 2.36 kilograms weight.

So if you’re looking for a smart projector that you can carry around or take out every once in a while, the Arc 5 might be the better fit for you. Although, the Arc 7 isn’t a lot heavier and can still be taken out as well. Both models also offer the “Under-Stand” that lets users achieve elevated projection in various home settings.

Projection Size, Brightness, and More

Out of the box, the Lumio Arc 5 can output 200 ANSI Lumens of screen projection. It can display images ranging from a size of 40 inches to 100 inches, with a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Meanwhile, the Lumio Arc 7 has a more powerful projection output that doubles the brightness with 400 ANSI Lumens. This projector has a higher 1500:1 contrast ratio and can even project a larger picture, ranging from 45 inches to 120 inches.

Audio

Under the hood, the larger Lumio Arc 7 packs two 8W stereo speakers with a large passive radiator unit. This is louder than the single 5W driver with dual passive radiator found on the Arc 5. While you’re probably using a dedicated speaker with the projectors, the audio experience is clearly better on the Arc 7. Notably, both variants have Dolby Audio support.

Pricing

Lumio announced its brand new projectors at different prices to target a larger audience. The Arc 5 has a more affordable 19,999 INR price tag, while the Arc 7 is priced at 34,999 INR. But it is worth noting that Arc 7 has an effective price tag of 29,999 INR for customers who purchase this model between July 12 and July 14.

So the preference here clearly depends on your budget. Projectors are handy for a home theatre experience, but not everyone aims to spend a lot. The Arc 7 is clearly a better model overall, but the Arc 5 gets the job done for a more affordable price.

The post Lumio Arc 7 or Arc 5: Which Projector Should You Buy? appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.
