Lumio is bringing its latest budget-friendly projector, the Arc 5, to Indian consumers via Amazon.in, positioning it as a more accessible alternative to the premium Arc 7 model that sold out during its launch phase.
Compact Design with Big-Screen Projection
The Arc 5 is small enough to carry around yet powerful enough to project an image up to 100 inches. At just 1.33 kg, it’s lighter than most laptops.
Its display supports Full HD 1080p resolution along with HDR10, making it suitable for movie nights, gaming sessions, or binge-watching series. The company’s proprietary ArcLight Engine is sealed against dust, an issue that often plagues budget projectors in Indian households.
For sound, the Arc 5 packs two 5W speakers with dual passive radiators and Dolby Audio support, offering a theater-like feel without external speakers.
Smarter Setup and Google TV Support
Setting up a projector can sometimes feel like a chore. Lumio tries to ease that with STR8 auto-keystone correction, autofocus powered by a TOF sensor, and obstacle avoidance.
Unlike many budget projectors that rely on sideloaded apps, the Arc 5 is officially Google TV certified. That means Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and other streaming apps run natively, without workarounds.
Inside, it runs on the MTK 9630 processor paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. The new remote includes Google Assistant voice support and shortcut buttons for quick access to apps.
Performance and Entertainment Features
Brightness is rated at 200 ANSI lumens, which is fine for dimly lit rooms but not ideal for bright daylight use. Still, for an evening movie or sports event, it should hold up well.
A unique addition is Lumio’s TLDR app. It serves as a content dashboard split into sports and music. The sports section delivers live scores, schedules, and analysis across cricket, football, and more. The music side curates playlists and ties into YouTube Music, giving users more than just video playback.
Built for Indian Homes
Lumio emphasizes that every Arc projector is tested for local conditions, from dust to voltage fluctuations, before launch. The company says this “Built for India” approach ensures reliability in diverse home environments.
The Arc 5 also comes with a nationwide service network and a standard one-year warranty, something many lesser-known projector brands don’t offer.
That service promise could be a deciding factor for buyers who want peace of mind beyond the initial purchase.
Pricing and Availability
The Lumio Arc 5 is being launched at an introductory price of ₹17,499 on Amazon.in, compared to its listed price of ₹19,999.
For those wanting more power, the Arc 7 remains on sale at ₹34,999, almost double the Arc 5 but aimed at consumers who want higher brightness and advanced features.
So, in simple terms: Arc 5 is for budget-conscious buyers, Arc 7 is for enthusiasts.
