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

It works best in low light but works in daylight also.

The pocture quality is excellent and this product deserves better review but my review of 4 is because its smart capability with Lg webos is a little complicated compared to Android tv..the remote makes it further complicated but with a very good image quality for a dark room makes it an excellent projector..i brought XGIMI mogo pro but compared to this LG product the XGIMi image quality is no way closer to LG.. please dont fall for false marketing from XGIMI

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!

This projector should be great. It is a small portable size, has a built in battery and low fan noise. It has a few good apps from LG WebOS and has full HD native resolution. On paper this should be incredible, but sadly its not in my experience. LG must have cut costs by adding a very low powered processor inside. Everything runs very slowly, from changing settings to selecting apps, its very sluggish. Movie playback is smooth though and it plays most file formats. The killer for me is the audio. Its absolute garbage. A cheap portable $10 speaker from a corner store would sound better! When connected to a bluetooth speaker the sound is out of sync. You can calibrate it in the settings but doesnt make a big difference. The battery gets me only around 75 minutes which is also disappointing so I have it connected to a socket. Maybe I have a defective unit?

I would give this a ZERO if possible. Very frustrating interface. The instructions are worthless. Does not give you any guidance on how to connect/stream from a device. I simply wanted to use this for presentations and maybe some movies. The picture may be okay but I cannot tell you because all I have seen is the menu. It does not recognize Apple products even when connected to the USB. I understand you need to get an app for iOS, but it has horrible reviews. The PowerPoint only gives you an option to play presentation. You cannot control when to advance a slide. It just advances the slides at its own pace. There is nothing simple about this. When I connected my iPad it would only give you an option to view picture files and it was VERY slow to even do this. You cannot simply connect your iPhone or iPad and play a movie or mirror you screen. This is absolutely horrible and would not recommend to anyone. Also, I have an LG TV and I realized the remote was controlling both the projector and the TV at the same time. I cannot express how frustrating this thing is!!!!!

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.

I did a lot of research on portable projectors and this one definitely is the best brightness, best quality for the price range. For everyone getting this projector you need to know two things: 1. Get a usb battery pack to extend battery life of this projector the built in battery is good but not great. 2. Pair with a bluetooth speaker, the built in speaker is crap - I paired mine with bose portable bluetooth speaker and its an amazing combo. I plugged my roku stick into the projector and can play literally anything I want in my backyard on the projector. Highly recommend

If you want to show movies outside and not have to be tethered to power outlets, power cords, network, this is the projector to get! Starting with it diminutive size, true 1080p video, ample brightness in dark settings, included battery with up to 2.5 hours of runtime (can attach power bank for even longer runtime), bluetooth audio out and USB drive input (supports most video file formats and codecs) and tripod mounting hole, this projector checks off all the boxes! There is a USB port on the back of the projector, load some movies onto a USB flash drive, insert into projector, then bring up the included file browser from main menu, choose the movie to watch and that is it! Also, there is a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port on the back of the projector, so if you have a power bank that support USB-C PD, simply connect it to the PD port on the projector, it will continue to charge the onboard battery to give even longer runtime. I found a 26,800 USB-C power bank on sale for $40 at a local big box electronics store and it works perfectly. Pair this projector with a good, easy to set up portable screen and a powerful bluetooth speaker, you have your dream desert island movie theater! I recommend spending a bit more to get a quality screen, and one that is super easy to set up and break down. Remember, portability and ease is the key here. I found a great portable screen that has a square tubular aluminum frame that is cleverly hinged, the sturdy screen snaps onto the frame, then simply insert foldable legs Into screen and you are done. With 2 people the screen goes up in about 10 minutes or less and comes down and stowed away even quicker. Also, pair it with a powerful bluetooth speaker and you truly will have a full theater experience outside under the stars. I have an Aiwa Exos-9 bluetooth speaker, it pumps out theater quality sound to go along with the vivid image from the projector. And, once paired with the LG projector, I can control the volume from the included LG projector remote, great for upping quiet parts and lowering extremely loud parts of the movie, especially if playing outside close to other homes. There are other features like built in wi-fi support, Netflix, Youtube apps, but none of that concerns me as they will not be available where I will be playing my movies, on my private desert island! So, if you want a truly portable projector that checks off all the boxes, get this, you wont be sorry!

Projectors have come a long way since the old days with hot, slow (expensive!) light bulbs. The LED projector era has come about slowly, with a lot of weak, small and power0hungry devices in the last half-decade or so, but this device signals (for me at least) that the technology is maturing into something useful and convenient, and the price is finally coming down a little. The built-in LG smart TV functionality is very useful, and easy on the eyes. Im a big fan of smart TV tech being built into devices like this, as it eliminates a lot of the need for connecting devices and navigating around webpages and third-party apps. While I used to use my Xbox One as my main media portal, I found the Roku functionality built into my TCL TV to be even easier, and LGs functionality looks pretty similar. Especially since this projector has wifi and a battery, having that convenience makes it truly mobile. The hardware feels pretty nice, and the picture is very clear and crisp, which indicates a good lens. There is a physical lever for focusing the picture on top of the device. Others have noted that it is a little laggy, but this isnt due to any issues with the physical lever, its because the lens is what is called focus-by-wire, which means that it is controlled electronically, not by any physical connection from lever to lens. The lever is nothing more than a button and input from the user takes the device a little time to digest and move the lens. I recommend just taking it slow, as the lens will definitely respond to any input from the user, but it is not 1 to 1. So far I have only been able to focus on small wall spaces, so I havent displayed at over about 32 approximate. At this level the picture is quite bright, easy to see during daylight (without direct sunlight of course). Given my small wall space, I will need to add a projector screen to be able to take full advantage of potential display size. Im a little doubtful about a 100 size, given that I havent seen anything that large out of an LED projector, but I will update when I am able to test the device under a greater range of sizes. All in all, Im quite pleased with the hardware quality, the ease of use with the smart TV functionality, and the picture. Its a great option if a projector is the direction you want to go.

If they made this projector with at least 1000 lumens it would be a heck of a lot better. The LG store is pretty outdated as well. They dont even offer Disney + or Movies Anywhere. Could be a great and fantastic projector but sadly they kept it conservative when it comes to those things.
