Lumio also states that the devices are compatible with all major OTT platforms. Backing the hardware is a network of over 200 offline service centres across India, offering a carry-in service model. Both Arc 5 and Arc 7 use LED tech and are capable of delivering Full HD (1080p) visuals.

The Lumio Arc 5 and Arc 7 projectors feature a native 16:9 aspect ratio, cover 41.9% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and include support for HDR10. Under the hood, both models run on the MediaTek MT9630 chipset, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

The Lumio Arc 5 offers 200 ANSI lumens of brightness and supports projection sizes up to 100 inches. Plus, it includes built-in 5W speakers with Dolby Audio. Stepping up, the Lumio Arc 7 doubles the brightness with 400 ANSI lumens and retains the 100-inch projection capability. It features dual 8W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio.
