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

La verdad que muy bueno

This is my third LG projector and this one doesnt disappoint. Stepping up from a LG PW800 800 Lumens 720p projector, the first thing you notice is the true HD detail. Colors are beautiful, text is crisp and even though this one is listed at 600 lumens, it is brighter. It also has a shorter throw, which is an added bonus. Bluetooth connected to my 5.1 surround sound system indoors, and to my outside speaker on the patio, both with excellent sound and no lag. The LG WebOS is nice, but the apps are limited. You get the basic ones, or can download, like Hulu, Netflix and Youtube, but dont expect much more....like VLC player. This is instantly fixed by adding my Amazon firestick. Fine tuning is done on top of the projector. The slider does have some give making it a little harder to focus where my last projector had a nice stiff slider making it easier to fine tune. It is nothing major, just wanted to point it out. Other things to note; the projector is light (great for portability) and the remote works great. There is lots of fine tuning options (color, contrast, sound input options, connecting phones, computers, etc.) Address some of the previous reviews, this projector does have fine tuning for color/contrast/brightness options, or you can just use the presets. I swear, people dont read their manuals before posting reviews. It also has a zoom option....right on the remote. It is watchable with lit windows on either side of the screen, but works best in darkened rooms. Not for full-on sunny rooms. The added TV Tuner is why I always choose LG....highly recommend this projector. No regrets.

Loved the thing at first, 6 months later the battery doesnt hold a charge and the remote control rarely works.

I have a love/hate relationship with this projector. The picture quality is amazing for its super portable size. Its really the only one of its kind that I know of (full 1080p battery powered with smart features). The battery life however is just ok. You might be able to get through a movie if you have it set to the highest power saving setting but its definitely under 2 hours in the normal power mode. It can charge via USB which is great, but it uses the battery faster than it can charge on USB so that can only extend your time another hour or so. There is no zoom function so the screen size is based on how far the projector is from the wall/screen. It does have auto keystone adjustment which is nice. The interface could definitely use some improvement and it has some bugs that can make it very frustrating to use. For one, I primarily use the USB input for playing files offline from a USB flash drive. The projector will often have trouble reading files/folders on the flash drive. It will work fine at first, play a video, then you go back to play another video and it says the file/folder doesnt exist. You then have to eject and reinsert the USB flash drive (sometimes a few times) for it to work again. Ive had this same issue with several flash drives including a brand new one so I know its not the drive itself. Also, it always wanted to default to the TV tuner input when I dont have a USB flash or HDMI cable plugged in. This is super annoying because you just get a screen of white noise and loud static when it selects the TV tuner as input. It would be nice if you could disable the TV tuner for this reason but you cant. This last weekend I forgot the remote for the projector. but you should be able to still control it using the navigation buttons on top of the projector, but I found another bug. If you select the USB flash drive with the onboard navigation, it wont let you select any of the files. For some reason the left/right navigation buttons (the only way to select files) controls the volume instead of letting you navigate through the files. In other words, you cant play any files on a USB flash drive without the remote. I was able to find a workaround by using the LG TV plus app on my android phone as a remote control, but this brings up another annoyance. The LG TV Plus app only works if you have both the phone and the projector connected to the same wifi network. This can be a problem if you are somewhere without wifi. Also, the projector doesnt seem to save the password for wifi so you have to tell it to connect each time. It seems like you should be able to control it over bluetooth with the app instead of wifi when you are on the road. Anyway, it definitely could use a firmware update to resolve some of these bugs. I would up my rating to 5 stars if they fixed these issues.

Terrible product and cherry on top, didnt come with a remote

The LG PF50KA is the best portable projector today as its the only lightweight real 1080p projector with a built in OS (Web OS) from LG. The battery life may not be that long but using a jackery battery pack makes all sense. Plug in a 4tb portable drive on its USB port and it will pay almost everything (including those complex mkv movie files). I currently own an LG HU80KA and while its not Laser, this native 1080p LG PF50KA provides almost the exact quality sans the high lumens output of its big brother. To me, the portability it offers is its best quality. I bring this projector 100% of the time at work for presentations and for my kids supply of 100 inch netflix anywhere. Paired this with a bose soundlink revolve+ and/or B&O Beoplay A1 and this one rocks!

First impression: It’s compact, built well, and excellent packing I already have a projector, the JMGO N7, what is not perfect, but have good picture quality and brightness, but it’s not portable I was looking for something that have decent Brightness and full HD. I have got the AAXA P7, what actually a really well built and Small projector with excellent quality image The only think I had a problem with is the Contrast, and color accuracy, so I send it back. I decided to get the LG PF50KA. The contrast Is just WOW. 100000:1 . In my opinion contrast just as important as high brightness The colors are nice, The image sharp and the brightness is more than enough in a dark room. I did try with daylight, and the image is enjoyable. 600 lumIs perfect with the high contrast. I don’t know How long the battery will last, I be back in a few days..... the operating system is LG’s own system, If you like Amazon, unfortunately you will need a Fire Tv stick or any plugin to HDMI That support Amazon streaming, because LG don’t. Everything else is there like YouTube, or Netflix. Second day : The image Controll is awesome. Individual brightness, contrast, color, gamma Give incredible control over the image. I was able to match the color really close Between my laptop and the projector. The battery is about 1 hour and 20 min in High, 2 hour in mid and 2 hours and 30 min In low settings. The resolution is full HD Not interpolation. Meaning: the DLP is True 1920 x 1080. I’m really happy with This projector. Thank you for reading.... Back after two years, (March 2021) the projector is still the same and still goin. I’m using it 5-6 hours per day 7 says per week. LOVE IT EVERY DAY.!!!

I just received the unit today so these are my first impressions. Most projectors around 3000 lumens are 300 Watts or more, and I do not want to burn $40 a month just for electricity on my projector. So I wanted a 1080p projector good enough for a semi-lit room, semi-portable, not more than 1000 lumens or 100 watts. This is possibly the only projector on the market that fits the bill. Pros -Great 1080p resolution on a portable projector -Decent software, can watch Hulu, Netlfix, Youtube etc without needing to connect it to a PC. 600 lumens is good enough for a semi-lit room, and only consumes 65 Watts max, unlike other bright projectors that need 300-400 Watts. -I did not have the problem or forgetting the wifi password that others mentioned. -I did not have any difficulty with the remote or the menus. They are not the best, but they are quite useable. -Autokeystone works when the projector is pointing up. Cons -The major issue is with zoom. If you zoom to have clear picture in the center, it will be blurry near the edges. And vice-versa. What is the point of 1080p if poor zooming is going to ruin it? Unacceptable for a $650 projector. Sony projectors do not have that issue. Even a cheap Vankyo V600 projector does not have that issue. -Also, you cannot adjust the throw, you have to move the projector closer or farther from the screen to change the screen size. At this price point this is forgiveable, you usually have to pay more for adjustable throw. -There is a HORRIBLE bug, which makes keystone work incorrectly when projecting to wall at a level lower than the projector. (Or when projecting forward to the ceiling). Then, keystone distorts the image in the wrong direction, making it even more distorted (i.e. a parallelpiped, instead of an orthogon). LG, if you are listening, you HAVE TO FIX THIS BUG, it is totally unacceptable. Conclusion: If you want to show a powerpoint presentation, text may be blurry in the middle or edges of the screen. In movies, it is not as noticeable. If you want to lie in bed and project to the ceiling, a bit forward from the bed, auto-keystone will distort your image in the wrong direction, making the projector unusable.

I was looking for a high end portable projector and this met all the expectations I had except one. The 1 star detraction is due to only minimal battery life, although that also kept the weight down.

So far the best image quality I have found in its class. I’ve tested around 5 top projectors including the Kodak Luma and more ranging from $129-$600. I’m also a photographer and the image quality in this is great. Contrast could be better but I honestly haven’t adjusted the settings to see if that can be better. It doesn’t do Airplay or any decent screen sharing with ALL Apple devices so that sucks. Also no Netflix app and the UI is overly complex. The screen is very bright even in a well lit room. (Well enough to cook.) Screen is smaller than most. Smallest of all I’ve tested. Still large but 2/3rds of the average screen size. It’s about the size of a box of granola bars (best I could do, hey). Nice that it has USB power share. Auto Keystone is decent. Not the most responsive I’ve seen. If you want super small portable with great picture and sufficient light in dark settings get the Kodak Luma 350 or even better the 450. This is the most intuitive, convenient projector I’ve seen also with a great image. The 200 lumens is more than sufficient in dark settings but very inadequate in any other setting with ambient light. For a muchhh brighter and better image at the cost of user interface (no Airplay), size and convenience get the LG. Rather pricey and basically you’re just paying for a brighter image. Do you really watch the projector during the day. Curious about the WeMax but so far these off-brands have had subpar image quality all around.
