Lumio Arc 5 and Arc 7 Specifications and Features
The Lumio Arc 5 and the Arc 7 are aimed to offer a balanced price-to-specification ratio in the subcontinent. Lumio claims that the smart projectors can output up to "97% more pixels than a standard 32-inch TV" in the same price bracket. This is because both projectors can project in Full HD+ (1080p) resolution along with HDR10 support.
Both models can project up to 120-inches while toggling between three different projection sizes (40 to 100-inches for Arc 5 and 45 to 120-inches for Arc 7). Both projectors have a throw ratio of 1.2:1 and can project images in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The Arc 7 can go up to 400 ANSI lumens of brightness, while the Arc 5 can only offer up to 200 ANSI lumens.
Additionally, there is also support for premium features like auto Keystone correction (±30° vertical and ±25° horizontal), smart obstacle detection and auto focus capabilities via a dedicated Time of Flight (TOF) sensor.
Now, coming to the projection module, Lumio is using a closed and sealed enclosure design, which it calls the "ArcLight". This allows the brand to keep the internal components dust and debris-free.
Both projectors have a tall, cubic plastic shell that comes with an integrated UnderStand feature to prop the projectors at an angle. It comes with a built-in airflow system with a mesh design front and back for better air circulation. The Arc 5 weighs 1.33 kilograms, while the Arc 7 is heavier at 2.36 kilograms.
The Arc 5 and the Arc 7 also come with built-in speakers with Dolby Atmos and DGS Audio support. The Arc 7 has a dual 8W stereo speaker setup. Meanwhile, the Arc 5 comes with a single 5W speaker.
In terms of connectivity, the smart projectors get an HDMI port, a USB Type-A port, an Infrared port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a dedicated power on/off button. There is also Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band Wi-Fi and HDCP 1.4, 2.3 support.
Lumio has also bundled in a smart remote to control the projectors. It offers a selection of buttons like a dedicated YouTube, Prime Video and Netflix button, a Google Assistant button, a TLDR button, and the usual set of power and volume buttons.
In terms of performance, both projectors are powered by the MediaTek MT9630 processor with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.
