> 24 hourOverall we have thoroughly enjoyed this projector. There are only a few things keeping this from being a five star projector in my opinion. At this price point you would like to see an autofocus and some sort of zoom capability. The focus lever works fine, but other models at this price point have that autofocus. Also the remote basically has to be within 3 ft of the projector to work. Still not a deal breaker. The quality of the image is what makes it all worth it though. The picture is excellent and still clear when there is some light which is great at this price point.

> 24 hourFirst time purchasing a projector. Got this, along with a screen, to set up in the backyard for movie night or events. It works great, the fan is pretty quiet, and the app options are decent. This needs to be used in a very dark room, or outside after it is almost completely dark out. This mid-level projector is not bright enough for anything else. Now, once in a dark place, the picture is great and pretty easy to bring into focus with the sliding lever. You will want to get external speakers for a good experience. The on-board speaker is probably meant to be used for a short office presentation, not movies or sports.. I tried to hook up Bluetooth speakers for stereo sound, but I couldnt get the sound and video to link up, even when using the delay feature to try to help. It is a cool feature they included, and maybe it was just my speakers as an issue. I just hook up a Bose speaker via 3.5mm connection and it works perfect. The USB and HDMI options are nice. The on-board apps are nice, but I like to hook up my FireTV stick to have all my streaming options available. The USB slot will power the FireTV stick fine. I have not tested battery length, because I use it for long periods that I know I need external power. Overall, very happy using this as outdoor entertainment or as a 2nd TV projected onto the wall inside the house (in a darker room) to watch more than one game.

> 24 hourThis 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?

> 24 hourIt would be perfect if it had a drop down adjustment foot for height. We have had to use various shims depending on where we put it.

> 24 hourI 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

> 24 hourCompré 3 maquinas de estas LG 1500 ansi, todas son con la misma electrónica y mismo tipo (un poco mas o menos de potencia, son iguales) Las 3 fallaron en promedio luego de 700 horas de uso. Pierden un color, les fue pasando una a una. Cuando la primera cumplió aproximados las 700 hrs, fallo un color, comenzamos a utilizar más la segunda maquina, cumplido mas menos el mismo periodo de tiempo: Mismo Fallo. Así con las 3. Las compré por su bajo consumo eléctrico y por su vida útil aproximada a las 20.000 hrs. Las utilizo para laboratorio de visuales y electronica, para realizar laboratorio probar gráficas y afines al mundo audio-visual. Fue una inversión para que el equipo de desarrollo trabajara de mejor manera .. pero HA sido la mas MALA de las inversiones. NO los compren, busqué información al respecto y encontré muchas publicaciones con el mismo fallo. Una maquina con un color menos simplemente NO sirve. Saludos!

> 24 hourHave had this projector for 8 months. Worked great for a while now says Internal Temperature Too High and shuts down after about 30 seconds of use. Very disappointing. In the laborious process of trying to get repaired thru LG 3rd party approved party. Not sure its under warranty as it was refurbished.

> 24 hourThis projector is superb! Its like Im watching on a very HD LED tv. Portable and lightweight, all pack with almost everything you need. The only thing is, I don’t figure out how to connect through airplay, or maybe there is no airplay but miracast. Overall, I dont regret buying this projector, it is worth the price..

> 24 hourYou know the saying you get what you pay for...well this is a great example. I went through 3 other projectors from $100-360 and they all exclaimed brightness and clarity. That was not the case finally bit the bullet and dropped some more cash and it was worth it! Great portability and the ability to connect to a external Bluetooth speaker make this a winner in my book. Did I mention this has amazing video quality!? It does. Almost compares to my $1,500 Sony projector that is 4x as big. Needed portability because I like to travel and going to other peoples houses that have tiny crappy TVs was getting to me. Photos above where from when I first set it up. Which was easy! Great menu system as well. One Con is the remote. Too many buttons and not back lit. Hard to find the button you want unless you look at it. Maybe over time my fingers will remember. Not a deal breaker. Buy it! Hope you found this review helpful!
