LG PF50KA 100” Portable Full HD (1920 x 1080) LED Smart TV Home Theater CineBeam Projector with Built-in Battery (2.5 Hours) - White

Overall we have thoroughly enjoyed this projector. There are only a few things keeping this from being a five star projector in my opinion. At this price point you would like to see an autofocus and some sort of zoom capability. The focus lever works fine, but other models at this price point have that autofocus. Also the remote basically has to be within 3 ft of the projector to work. Still not a deal breaker. The quality of the image is what makes it all worth it though. The picture is excellent and still clear when there is some light which is great at this price point.

You cannot adjusts the side angle. So unless you mount this perfectly straight, it will be distorted.

After using computer projectors for years, the LG CINEBEAM DLP Projector Model PF50KA is a great choice for either home / portable theater scenarios or for computer projection. It’s lightweight, portable, AND can run on the built-in battery for up to three hours. I can see a potential for temporary outdoor movie screenings in the summer, for office projection, and even home theater with a crisp white, flat screen. Note that I tested this in a semi-dark room on an empty bedroom wall. I don’t have a theater set up (yet). However, my main use for this device is as a portable computer projector to replace my old, broken Dell projector. The Good: - Easy to set up and use right out of the box - MANY input options—Ethernet, USB and USB-C, 2 HDMI inputs, and even an antenna input - Crisp, clear picture. My powerpoint presentation was crisp, and my Satellite TV picture was clean with no jitter or lag. - Good picture even in a light room The somewhat mediocre - There was a wizard to utilze the ‘magic’ remote that came with the box to control my DirecTV set-top box. The set-up options were less than stellar. It didn’t work. - Moving from input to input is cumbersome. It would be nice to be able to easily change inputs. - For an LED projector, this got HOT. I didn’t expect that. - The fan is at the top of the box, and the plastic isn’t rigid. Be careful when you pick it up—don’t do so with one hand or you may press on the fan. - Adjusting the screen size—there is NO way to adjust the screen projection size EXCEPT by placing the box closer/farther away from the screen. - Keystone adjustment is awkward. In general, I think this is a pretty sold choice for a projection device. I like the crisp, clear projection of my computer screen (my primary use case) and will also enjoy the TV/video options here.

Decent picture and features. Brightness is barely adequate. The two real issues I have are: 1. Sketchy focus control. If you go a bit too far you cant just come back a bit. This makes it difficult to get right and indicates lack of precision in the mechanism. 2. The lens or its cover seems to be made of plastic or plain glass and is far too easily scratched. I have collected binoculars for decades and know how to safely clean optics. In 3 months I cleaned the lens as many times, blowing dust off the lens then wiping with a damp soapy cloth then wiping dry with a lint free clean lens cloth. Nobody had access to the projector but me. The lens has permanent scratches on it nonetheless. This is not expected of optical glass in a unit in this price range. I have found no information about replacement lenses being available. Customers reading this review will decide for themselves whether thats an issue they need to be concerned about or not, but I have owned close to 200 pairs of binoculars and telescopes, often received used in filthy condition from ebay, and never encountered optical glass so easily damaged. As this is such a critical part, dont know why they cut corners here. Edit: dropping from two stars to one. After 8 months of infrequent use, maybe 100 hrs. Never dropped, its been mounted to a ceiling mount in my minivan- it failed. Power brick is good but shows no charge light on unit which will not power up. 2nd edit: sent in for warranty service. Appears LG sent a new or refurb unit back in its place. Ok with me. 3rd edit. The projector they sent is locked to Korean language, location, and services, and cannot be set to US use. Been back and forth with tech dept, now they are going to RA it for return again. LG seems responsive so Im not mad but this is kinda silly. 4th edit. After the last edit I noticed it suffers from color shifting or instability in imagin

does what i expected, affordable 1080p projector with decent image and lumens for a darker room smart features didnt matter to me, i have an nvidia shield that does everything into hdmi 1 fan noise and bluetooth range didnt matter to me, i use WF-1000XM3 headphones via bluetooth to the shield keystone left to right would be nice, this only does vertical so you need to be centered on your projection angle some reviews/questions seem a bit confused on the zoom...this projector does zoom, but it also doesnt...that is to say, the projected image size is solely dependent on how close or far away you are from the surface youre projecting onto...that cant be altered...there IS a zoom setting in the menus, but its for zooming in/out on the image itself...imagine looking at the camera view on a phone, where the phone size stays the same but takes up more or less of your field of view depending on how closely you hold it to your eyes...but you can also pinch to zoom in/out on the image displayed on the screen and THAT is the only zoom capability you have on this projector

Compré 3 maquinas de estas LG 1500 ansi, todas son con la misma electrónica y mismo tipo (un poco mas o menos de potencia, son iguales) Las 3 fallaron en promedio luego de 700 horas de uso. Pierden un color, les fue pasando una a una. Cuando la primera cumplió aproximados las 700 hrs, fallo un color, comenzamos a utilizar más la segunda maquina, cumplido mas menos el mismo periodo de tiempo: Mismo Fallo. Así con las 3. Las compré por su bajo consumo eléctrico y por su vida útil aproximada a las 20.000 hrs. Las utilizo para laboratorio de visuales y electronica, para realizar laboratorio probar gráficas y afines al mundo audio-visual. Fue una inversión para que el equipo de desarrollo trabajara de mejor manera .. pero HA sido la mas MALA de las inversiones. NO los compren, busqué información al respecto y encontré muchas publicaciones con el mismo fallo. Una maquina con un color menos simplemente NO sirve. Saludos!

The product is excellent and it is enough from an old company from LG Lighting 600 lumens The room needs some opacity to be seen The device withstands more than two hours without recharging The device is excellent for small, light mobility Fit for teachers and anyone who wants to show anything anywhere Movies programs presentations Flash Memory But the people who buy it in Saudi Arabia have to pay attention - Arabic is not available - The electrical socket is not compatible with the system in Saudi Arabia A triple socket is required in accordance with the Saudi system (I provided it from the laptop socket)

I ordered this unit and it worked they way it was supposed to, but I did return it for a different projector that better fit my need. Unfortunately after I returned it the seller did not issue me my credit after having had it back in their possession. I had to hunt down through Amazon a credit return.

It does not work with PAL TV system!!! Please let us know how to fix it!!!

This is the best LED projector I was able to find on the market right now, and the only one that displays 1080p. Being LED, it turns on and off much quicker than most other projectors and is quieter than others in this price range. Overall, it is a solid, high quality product that is a joy to use for gaming and movies. I use mine for a 120 inch screen (despite the 100 inch limit) on an off-white wall and it still looks great. Pros: Full 1080p resolution Very low input lag for gaming Auto vertical keystone with no blur Good brightness for a dark room Very small and portable Responsive remote Quick to turn on and off Low fan noise (on medium energy saving mode) Low heat produced Con: No zoom feature (if you are mounting it, find out where it needs to go before screwing the mount in place) Wireless display has heavy delay (better to just use an HDMI for movies) Other features: It can play movies and photos directly from a USB stick. It does have built in smart features, but since I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a Nintendo Switch, I havent used them so I cant comment on those.
