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

Decent projector. Bright enough in low light and perfect for outdoor use. If using inside as primary viewing device you might want to consider a higher end projector if wanting a big screen level of clarity and brightness. Also will need a quality sound bar to pair with it for sound.

Great little projector for the price! Comparable to more expensive models.

First, I tried multiple lower priced portable projectors and was very, very unhappy with those other choices. This unit I had working in minutes and its menu and setup was very good. Acted just like my LG TV and because LG has licensing rights, you arent redirected to some China site to install very questionable apps to make the unit work. The other units I tried had menus partially in Chinese, required questionable apps that didnt work or they displayed text in Chinese for some of the menus or apps (no English with English selected) and I know a couple loaded tracking software because I ran Wireshark and it was sending data to China. This unit works as I expected. I am giving 4 stars because it works well and the programming is professional, not Chinese junk. I gave it 3 stars for brightness, because I just wont give a higher rating when its not enough for bright rooms. However, they are honest about its brightness and it works in moderate light conditions, and very well in low light. I bought it to project on to canvas for painting and it works great for that can move the unit to the right distance and get just want I want to trace with the image. I found it works so well, I bought a portable big screen and use it in the back yard. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JTXLBQM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also intend to take it to the beach to setup music videos while enjoying a campfire on the beach. The Bluetooth to my battery powered speakers works perfect and stays in-sync. Overall, I think this unit is much better than every other similarly priced or lower priced options. Plan to use it for football games this weekend. Didnt buy it for that, but its GREAT. Love the battery option. I also bought a battery powered jump starter/compressor that makes for a great power bank and I use it to extend the battery life. https://www.amazon.com/CAT-Professional-Station-Starter-Compressor/dp/B088RMSXD1 NOTE: I got my jump starter for a much lower price at Costco when it was on sale.

Nice picture with decent settings and controls offered for a low end projector. Brightness is also decent for the price. Dim or dark only. No direct light or itll wash out. Wifi connected fine and Netflix started right up. Chromecast execution worked perfect as well. People complain about the remote and crappy speaker but I think both are acceptable, given what this product is. Its not going to come with a back lit remote or surround sound... I use a small speaker with a cable and it sounds cool if youre just sitting there watching a movie. Now for what I dont like: 1. Battery is weak. Very weak. However, using a powerbank plugged into the USB C port, I was able to run the projector (fully charged) for 3 hours before both the projector battery and powerbank were both dead. Thats a 12,000 MHz internal battery plus the 20,000 MHz powerbank I used. So....be prepared for this to suck your batteries dry. I had it on medium power. On high power, Im guessing 2 hours for 32,000 MHz. So the 2.5 hour claim is maximum battery saver turned on and basically not using the projector, haha. Be prepared for 45min to an hour use for a full battery with no powerbank, on medium or high power which is almost required. Low setting in a dark room is still pretty dim looking. 2. If you bought this to watch videos/movies where theres no reception or wifi (camping for example) you should first confirm you have a device that supports a video out signal. Airplay isnt going to work, nor would chromecast as they need wifi. If you have an iPhone, I believe you can buy an adapter that allows you to plug in your lightening cable and have an HDMI out to the projector. That would work. I have a pixel 3 and none of the pixel devices (even the 4) offer video out, from USB C. So, you cant use a cable, nor can you use Chromecast cause theres no wifi to bridge the signal. There are some Android devices that allow video out from their USB c ports such as the Samsung 8. Theres maybe 20 Android devices that allow it, so check that out. Maybe youre lucky and have a phone thatll do it. Also....the LG plus mobile app will also not work because it will also require wifi. TBH, the LG plus app is useless unless you really hate the remote and want to control the projector with your phone instead, but again... youll need that wifi if you want to leave the remote at home. Better bring it. 3. That gets us to usb/hard drive support. Yes....if you have movies, music, and pictures on a hard drive, itll work and Im pretty impressed by the amount of different files and codecs it supports. I have a bunch of movies in different formats: wmvs, Avis, mpgs, mkvs (Blu Ray) ECT. So far... everything plays. So now youre thinking, cool! Ill bring the projector, Bluetooth speaker, powerbank, and mini hard drive and watch movies off the drive. Not so fast! Theres a bug with the projector where when you access the hard drive using the on board navigation buttons on the projector because you left your remote at home, surprise! Theres no way to scroll through your movies! Once you access your folder directory on your drive with the on board buttons, the scrolling and selection dont work. The only thing you can do in this view is raise the volume up and down. So youll need that remote when you go camping. 4. Wifi direct does exist which should solve the lack of wifi issue but whenever I pair my phone with the projector, nothing improves or happens. Perhaps its my phone or Im doing something wrong.... 5. No lens cap. (?!?!!) Why the f not? Its a portable projector so that increases the likely hood of it getting scratched or dirty. I rubberband a plastic bag over it and keep it in a travelbag. 6. I use YouTube TV of which does not come pre installed. Only Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. Theres an on board browser but it blocks YouTube TV when you try to login. So if you want to watch yttv or Amazon prime, youll also need to pack that Chromecast.... 7. On the highest settings a few mentioned the fan is not loud but I think it is. I get 38db on my sound meter which I find distracting. Medium and low are fine and medium is usually bright enough. Small issue. So....if you really want this to work in the woods with no cell reception or wifi, first confirm you have the ability to video out, from your device and see it work on something. A tv, whatever. Another option is to bring your laptop. You can do HDMI out from your laptop to the projector and use it that way. Just remember the battery issue. Youre burning the laptop battery, projector battery, and the powerbank all at the same time...lol. Seems like too much effort. Or bring a generator and plug everything in! Lastly, dont forget the remote cause youll need it for navigation based on the LG needing a firmware update to fix the lack of controls. Also, downloading Netflix movies wont work cause youll need to run those off the USB drive but those files require the Netflix app to play. If youre someone who knows how to rip Netflix movies, of course you can go that route but youre still going to need to bring that extra stuff. What this projector still needs in order for it to be a great portable projector: 1. Battery power thats quadrupled (or more...) 2. More on board apps preinstalled like YouTube TV, Amazon prime, and Disney plus reducing the need for Chromecast. 3. An internal harddrive, allowing you to load movies, shows, documents, photos, PowerPoints, ECT onto the projector itself. Then you wouldnt need to worry about the lack of wifi and just play/display whats on the projector. 4. Zoom So...if you have connectivity, eithernet or wifi you should be good. If youre planning on running it with no connectivity, be sure to do a test run to make sure you have everything with you and that youll have enough battery to pull it off. I spend my time currently staying at different places of residence so because of that, this projector works perfect for me, as opposed to dragging around a tv.

This is my new TV and I couldnt be happier. Had the nebula and it couldnt hold a candle to this thing( which is how bright the Nebula is btw). This is brighter by far and as bright as to be expected from a 600 ANSI projector. Ive had it on for 12hours and it doesnt get too hot. Picture is clear at 100inches and could go bigger with similar results I feel. Sound is enough but pairs well with my Sony Xbr-20. PlayStation, fire stick, TV antenna all hooked up at once and run well. Video games are amazing on it. Cant wait for football season. Only real gripe is the remote feels kinda cheap and is over crowded with non backlit buttons. Fan is audibly noticeable if sitting right next to it until you learn to drown it out like a screaming kid. Love it so far. Buy it and you cant go wrong.

Use it for outdoor movie night. Stream through my phone. Bluetooth my speaker. Very good picture. Wish it had Amazon prime loaded on the app screen. Needs to be very dark outside. I would recommend.

It is small easily carried in suitcase or even comiter bag. Image looks good though not sure would go out to full 100 inches as around 72 is most Reason for 4 stars as though comes with LG smart app it does have ability to do amazon as just has Netflix and Hulu which for many will be fine. Not sure why as other LG smart devices do. Ended up returning and getting not smart projector and buying a roku stick

Bought projector new but came with several dead pixels. It doesnt affect viewing experience much, but I expect a new product when I purchase one.

Excellent picture quality. Not too loud. Very disappointed with app selection. Only has Netflix, Hulu, UFC apps. No Amazon Prime, no Vudu, no Movies Anywhere, no HBO, no CBS app, etc. Disappointed I have to still use my Roku stick with it to watch what I want. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with it.

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
