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

10/10 Brite and clear .beware no digital zoom doesnt matter for me just informing you guys

Very impressed with this projector. I debated getting another big screen tv or going with a projector in family room. Glad I went with this LG projector with an 80 inch screen. Have it ceiling mounted and using bluetooth to my Vizio soundbar system. Was worried about 1080p vs 4k but you cant tell a difference from 10ft away viewing. It has nice bright colors and contrast. The black scenes look better than expected. It does help to put in a darker light controlled room. The picture doesnt get bright enough in a brighter room. The menu settings are easy to navigate. I am using standard picture mode setting with color temp on warm for movies and tv. Energy saving on medium. The fan is really quiet with that setting. Vivid and sports mode also looks nice with really bold and bright colors if you like the picture brighter. The speaker is very weak sounding but does ok in a pinch. I would use a soundbar. I havent noticed any audio sync issues with bluetooth. For the price with having an led bulb with wifi and bluetooth its a great deal. I like that its portable in case I decide to take it outside. If you want to go big and not spend a ton of money for a large tv this is the way to go.

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!

Excellent product As usual from LG

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.

I love the quality of the projection! It’s a definite upgrade to the cheap $75 projector I previously bought from Amazon. I also love the remote, features, and battery that comes built in. The only couple draw backs are that the software is outdated and there is no available update so I’m not able to get many apps for the device outside of Netflix and Hulu. The other draw back is that there is no volume indicator. Other than that it’s a great projector! Silent and bright! Very happy with it.

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.

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!!!!

I bought this and was at first thrilled with it’s performance and as a projector it is great! However, I soon discovered not only is this not really compatible with any apple products (computers, tablets, or phones), or most mobiles without purchasing a $20 app (twice which I’ll elaborate on later), the LG smart tv Software didn’t support Prime Video and several other streaming apps I wanted. So no way to watch without hooking up a laptop or phone, both of mine are Apple so no dice. For the price they really need to update their software to be more compatible and expand their app market place. Also for projecting from mobile it encourages you to buy an LG app on Mobile, which costs $20 one time. Not bad, but when it didn’t work it encouraged me to buy another app again for $20, which ultimately was a clone of the previous app, also did not work on my iPhone. I asked multiple times for a refund, never got a response from either apps’ help desk. $40 in for two defunct versions of the same app.

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.
