> 3 dayOverall, the picture quality is very good. My dislike was that in order to watch it I had to pretty much darken the room to get that nice screen. It wasnt bad with some low light, but the picture got a bit pale with just a little light. Loved all the features that it came with... auto keystone, bluetooth, smart features and the battery powered to make it a true wireless projector. I found that the battery only lasted a little over an hour and not the 2.5 hours as listed. I found that putting it on sport mode gave me the brightest pictur, color and sharpness. That said, I had trouble with the bluetooth connectivity where it kept dropping the connection to my soundbar. I tried different bluetooth devices with it to make sure it wasnt just my bose soundbar and had the same results of dropping the connection. I ended up returning it based on the bluetooth drops. One of the reasons I bought this was so I wouldnt have to run wires across the room. So this, coupled with what I felt wasnt a bright enough picture with a little light in the room, i decided to go with another projector. But again, the picture qaulity on this was excellent. Just these two factors caused me to go with another projector.

> 3 dayI 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!!!!!

> 3 dayHave had this just for a couple of days, and have been using this every night. Its a great projector for its small form factor. The brightness in a dark room is pretty good. Have tried it on bare (textured) walls and this performed above expectations. The bluetooth audio out is a great feature, I just have to connect this to my smart-speakers whichever room Im in. The battery doesnt quite stretch 2.5 hours that LG claims. The cast feature is also great - I dont have to carry a separate Roku/FireTv stick along with it. The only downside on the casting is, it doesnt support Amazon Prime Video (yet?). But thats probably as much on Amazon as much as it is on LG.

> 3 dayDecent picture and features. Brightness is barely adequate. The two real issues I have are: 1. Sketchy focus control. If you go a bit too far you cant just come back a bit. This makes it difficult to get right and indicates lack of precision in the mechanism. 2. The lens or its cover seems to be made of plastic or plain glass and is far too easily scratched. I have collected binoculars for decades and know how to safely clean optics. In 3 months I cleaned the lens as many times, blowing dust off the lens then wiping with a damp soapy cloth then wiping dry with a lint free clean lens cloth. Nobody had access to the projector but me. The lens has permanent scratches on it nonetheless. This is not expected of optical glass in a unit in this price range. I have found no information about replacement lenses being available. Customers reading this review will decide for themselves whether thats an issue they need to be concerned about or not, but I have owned close to 200 pairs of binoculars and telescopes, often received used in filthy condition from ebay, and never encountered optical glass so easily damaged. As this is such a critical part, dont know why they cut corners here. Edit: dropping from two stars to one. After 8 months of infrequent use, maybe 100 hrs. Never dropped, its been mounted to a ceiling mount in my minivan- it failed. Power brick is good but shows no charge light on unit which will not power up. 2nd edit: sent in for warranty service. Appears LG sent a new or refurb unit back in its place. Ok with me. 3rd edit. The projector they sent is locked to Korean language, location, and services, and cannot be set to US use. Been back and forth with tech dept, now they are going to RA it for return again. LG seems responsive so Im not mad but this is kinda silly. 4th edit. After the last edit I noticed it suffers from color shifting or instability in imagin

> 3 dayI rarely write reviews but man, this projector is awesome! I dont feel much heat around the projector and the video quality is just fantastic. I highly recommend getting this product. Smart TV feature is absolutely a plus but I also use ChromeCast to cast NFL/NBA/PL games.

> 3 dayFirst 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.

Greater than one weekThe product is awesome, the only thing that i wasn’t totally satisfied was the brightness, but since is only 600 lumens I guess it is expected. However still very good

Greater than one weekI 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.
