> 3 dayReplaced my Qumi Q3 Pico projector for this LG, and honestly the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Picture quality is great, and the brightness is just what i needed. My favorite part is the auto keystone feature! The internal speaker is average as to be expected from an internal speaker. Battery life is good. Lasts about the length of a movie. LG OS installed is great, and so easy to navigate and use!

> 3 dayI bought this projector because of the features of Bluetooth and portability. I needed it for an external meeting held in a hotel meeting room. The room was a normal large meeting room with about 25-30 people in attendance. Unfortunately even with almost all of the lights dimmed in the room the light was so faint that many that were not closest to the screen could not view a very large screen. The light was worked with several times with our IT department etc and it was still really poor. The colors that this projector provided were also very poor. They did not remotely resemble the PPT slides that were presented of even the video clips. They were off tremendously to the point of not being able to discern the actual color. The bluetooth worked but wanted to connect to absolutely everything LG in the room or even close. Overall other than the size I would not recommend this projector. I am returning thanks to Amazon, but even had an issue with the seller on the return. Not my best purchase decision

> 3 dayWe spent 9 months trying to decide on a good projector for backyard summer time use. We waffled between inexpensive ($150 or less) but worried about brightness vs expensive ($1000 or more). Finally settled on this for a mid range $566. We love it. It has plenty of connection ports (HDMI ARC, HDMI2, Audio, and more) but also streams via wi-fi and connects via Bluetooth. Just did a trial run in our backyard, and it exceeded our expectations for brightness and clarity on a 150 backyard screen. We are really looking forward to backyard use this summer. One drawback is its lack of ability to stream Disney or Amazon. It does have Netflix and Hulu already loaded though. After looking it up, I am reading that very few LG devices are capable of streaming Disney. We are happy enough with the ease of use, portability, and picture quality, that we will keep it and find another way to stream those services to it when needed. (Xbox, firestick, etc.)

> 3 dayThis is my third LG projector and this one doesnt disappoint. Stepping up from a LG PW800 800 Lumens 720p projector, the first thing you notice is the true HD detail. Colors are beautiful, text is crisp and even though this one is listed at 600 lumens, it is brighter. It also has a shorter throw, which is an added bonus. Bluetooth connected to my 5.1 surround sound system indoors, and to my outside speaker on the patio, both with excellent sound and no lag. The LG WebOS is nice, but the apps are limited. You get the basic ones, or can download, like Hulu, Netflix and Youtube, but dont expect much more....like VLC player. This is instantly fixed by adding my Amazon firestick. Fine tuning is done on top of the projector. The slider does have some give making it a little harder to focus where my last projector had a nice stiff slider making it easier to fine tune. It is nothing major, just wanted to point it out. Other things to note; the projector is light (great for portability) and the remote works great. There is lots of fine tuning options (color, contrast, sound input options, connecting phones, computers, etc.) Address some of the previous reviews, this projector does have fine tuning for color/contrast/brightness options, or you can just use the presets. I swear, people dont read their manuals before posting reviews. It also has a zoom option....right on the remote. It is watchable with lit windows on either side of the screen, but works best in darkened rooms. Not for full-on sunny rooms. The added TV Tuner is why I always choose LG....highly recommend this projector. No regrets.

Greater than one weekDecent 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 dayThis projector is FANTASTIC!!!! I purchased a $100 one on Amazon before this one and I got headaches while watching movies it was so bad. The picture is super clear, no pixels visible, it’s pretty easy to set up and I suggest to get a Bluetooth LG soundbar to go with it, because the speakers in the projector are not loud enough. Overall there’s absolutely nothing bad to say about this product, it can totally replace your HD TV, I’m super excited to have bought this!!!!
