Lumio announces Google TV-Powered Arc 7, Arc 5 projectors With 100-inch display and Dolby Audio
Lumio has launched two smart projectors targeting India's underdeveloped home projector market. The Lumio Arc 5 , priced at Rs 19,999, and Arc 7 for Rs 34,999, address key barriers that have limited projector adoption in India, including poor app compatibility, substandard audio quality, and unreliable after-sales support. Both models feature Google TV certification with Netflix compatibility and access to over 400,000 movies and shows across 10,000+ apps. "We see projectors as the next frontier in home entertainment," said Raghu Reddy, CEO of Circuit House Technologies. The company identified that India's midrange projector segment (Rs 20,000-50,000) lacked quality options, forcing consumers to choose between inadequate sub-Rs 12,000 models or expensive high-end alternatives. The Arc 5 offers 200 ANSI lumens brightness with up to 100-inch projection, weighing just 1.33 kg for portability. The Arc 7 delivers 400 ANSI lumens for brighter rooms and features 2x8W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio support. Both projectors use Lumio's proprietary Arclight Engine , featuring dust-proof sealing and Full HD 1080p resolution with HDR10 support. Smart setup features include auto-keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and instant autofocus using Time-of-Flight sensors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¿Tienes $105?

Lumio launches Arc 5 and Arc 7 smart projectors in India, starting at Rs 19,999

The Lumio Arc 5 and Arc 7 bring the polish of our TVs— Google TV, stunning visuals, and room-filling audio—into a portable, easy-to-use package that requires no installation. We're making projectors accessible, reliable, and joyful, backed by the same nationwide support that made our TVs a success,' said Raghu Reddy, the CEO of Lumio parent company Circuit House Technologies. Weighing over 1.33 kg, the Lumio Arc 5 boasts of 200 ANSI lumens with up to 100-inch projection. It also packs 5W speakers with Dolby Audio support and can be used to project visuals in bedrooms, hostels, or during travel. Meanwhile, the Lumio Arc 7 is a projector of 400 ANSI lumens with up to 100-inch projection and two 8W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio support, which makes it ideal for larger spaces like living rooms, etc. Both projectors are compatible with Google TV OS and provide access to over 10,000 OTT apps including Netflix. Some of the smart features of the Lumio Arc 5 and Arc 7 are Smooth Trapezoidal Recalibration or STR8 that enables auto-keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and instant autofocus using a Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor. Both models come with HDMI 2.0 (HDMI ARC-enabled), USB 2.0 ports and 3.5mm audio jack as well as Bluetooth 5.1 version. The remote includes Google Assistant and dedicated buttons for Netflix, YouTube, and TLDR, which is a dashboard app for sports and music content.
