Indian consumer electronics brand Lumio is entering the home projector market with the launch of two mid-range projectors, the Arc 5 and Arc 7, that are capable of delivering Full HD 1080p visuals with HDR10 support.
Both projectors come with Lumio’s Arclight Engine to ensure vibrant colours and sharp details, the company said in a press release on Monday, July 7. They are powered by a MTK 9630 processor, and offer 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. The projectors also feature an Under-Stand that helps to elevate them in a bedroom or living room setup.
The Arc 5 is priced at Rs 19,999 and the Arc 7 comes with a price tag of Rs 34,999. The company said that the Arc 7 will be available at a discounted price of Rs 29,999 during Amazon Prime Day, which is slated to be held from July 12 to July 14.
The home projector market is just one per cent of India’s TV market compared to 15 to 20 per cent in developed markets, said Lumio. The company is looking to fill in the gap with mid-range options in a market that only has low-end models and high-end alternatives.
“While India’s projector market is small, its potential is massive. 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.
