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

stop looking any further. Just buy it . It’s a wonderful projector with excellent quality. Battery time is slightly less but you can increase it with power bank .

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 The LG store is pretty outdated as well.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.

Picture is great. Setup was easy. HDMI ARC made it easy to connect to a soundbar.

No keystone correction left and right and it needs to be directly in the middle of the room!!! Cant play on any angle at all. Speakers are very poor. No auto focus and for 600.00 bucks Im returning it tomorrow morning as fast as I can....and no 3D!!!!

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.

So far I love this projector. I am not very tech savvy to be fair . I’ve had no issues using it with my Nintendo switch , my iPad , my iPhone ... picture is outstanding. Easy to set up.

Great entry level Projector w/Smart Tv functionality. Darkened room preferred. Black Out Curtains are very convenient. Great for away missions. My Roku+ Stick is a handy must have. Uhh wifi needed. Dont forget a inexpensive antenna for television functionality.

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

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!!!!!
