    Background 

    The home projector category has seen rapid growth, driven by demand for large-screen entertainment, flexible placement, and streaming-first consumption. However, much of the market has been held back by underpowered hardware, uncertified software stacks, and inconsistent real-world performance. Consumers frequently encounter slow navigation, laggy app switching, unreliable streaming, and poor long-term software support — issues that erode trust in the category.

    Founded in 2025 by Circuit House Technologies, Lumio is a next-generation consumer technology brand focused on re-imagining home entertainment for modern Indian households. From Smart TVs to projectors, Lumio builds products designed to deliver smooth, reliable, and joyful experiences — not just impressive spec sheets. Lumio products are sold across India via major online platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart, as well as directly through the Lumio Store.

    For Lumio, the goal with Arc Projectors was clear: build a smart projector that feels genuinely fast, fluid, and dependable in everyday use, while educating consumers on why platform choice matters.

    Challenge

    Real‐World Performance Gaps_icon

    Real-World Performance Gaps

    Many competing projectors ship with low-end chipsets and limited memory, resulting in sluggish navigation, delayed inputs, and inconsistent playback.

    Software Authenticity_icon

    Software Authenticity

    A large portion of the market advertises “Google TV” while actually running Android Open Source Project (AOSP), leading to missing certifications, unreliable app behavior, and limited long-term support.

    Core differentiators such as certified operating systems, processing headroom, and platform longevity are not visible on a typical spec sheet.

    Brand Credibility_icon

    Brand Credibility

    As a new consumer brand, Lumio needed to anchor its performance claims to a trusted global.

    MediaTek Solution

    • Lumio addressed these challenges at the platform level by building the Arc smart projectors on the MediaTek MT9630 platform. 

    • Rather than optimizing for headline specifications alone, Lumio prioritized the factors that directly impact everyday experience — system responsiveness, UI smoothness, streaming reliability, and long-term software stability. The MT9630 provides the processing headroom and platform maturity required to deliver a true smart-TV-class experience in a projector form factor.

    • By pairing certified smart-TV software with MediaTek’s proven home-entertainment silicon, Lumio ensured the Arc Projectors behaves like a complete entertainment device, not a projector with a bolted-on interface.
