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

Have 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.

I tried six of the top-rated full HD, battery-powered, portable projectors and found this one to be the best. Compared with other portable projectors, this has the best picture, most intuitive on-screen menu, and a true 2.5-hour battery life. You can get an additional 2.5 hours of projection time by plugging the LG PF50KA into a portable, rechargeable battery, such as the HALO Bolt 58830 ($110 on Amazon). (5.23.19 UPDATE: One reviewer noted problems with focus; I have not.) CAUTION #1: When comparing projectors, do not be fooled by brightness specifications in the product title or spec section that simply say lumens rather than ANSI lumens. (ANSI = American Nation Standards Institute). If the specs say LED lumens or just lumens, please recognize that your are reading advertising, not a real measure of brightness. The LG PF50KA is measured at 600 ANSI lumens. Thats as bright as any battery-powered portable projector on the market today. For apples-to-apples brightness comparisons, you need to know the ANSI lumens of each projector. CAUTION #2: When comparing projectors, be sure to check its native resolution. Just as with lumens, there is a lot of advertising fluff that contains abbreviations such as HD. Keep in mind that almost all modern projectors can play video files that were filmed at various resolutions, but they will downgrade the fidelity to what the projectors graphics processor and native lamp capacity are. (Analogy: You can watch a 4K movie on your HD TV, but it will show up in HD, not 4K. You would need a 4K TV to display a 4K movie.) The LG PF50KA has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (width x height in pixels) considered Full HD by industry standards. It will display a 4K (3840 x 2160) movie at Full HD (1920 x 1080). Always check the native resolution of your projector so you know the maximum definition that projector is capable of displaying.

I 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

Use it for outdoor movie night. Stream through my phone. Bluetooth my speaker. Very good picture. Wish it had Amazon prime loaded on the app screen. Needs to be very dark outside. I would recommend.

To preface this review, this is my first time owning a projector. Overall, im pleased with my purchase of this. If you can catch this on sale then dont hesitate...its still a solid buy at full price but if I had to do it again, I might have waited and spent more on a higher end projector. Its small but mighty. A great thing about it is that it does not take up much space at all, so you can put it anywhere. Also, the built in battery makes it nice in case you decide to go mobile or have a power outage. There are two HDMI ports on the back of the unit which is nice. While im using both, you do have the option to use the imbedded apps in the home menu so you can really maximize what you do/dont need. If youre any type of an audiophile, the built in speaker is not going to be enough. I added an external pc speaker system to it and can was able to get the type sound I like. Its a 3.5mm jack so find what works for you. So between the external speakers, xbox, and firestick all attached to the projector, I have a lot of wires. Luckily my coffee table (which I cut a hole in) is low enough to hide the wires and powerstrip from view, but high enough to have everything plugged in. I wish the picture was brighter. For a projector thats not 4k, I think the level of detail is absolutely fantastic. Its not hard to see intricate detail at all, and makes for one heck of a movie night. As my primary viewing apparatus, this projector is NOT suited for well lit rooms. My living room gets a lot of bright indirect sunlight, and renders the projector basically useless. The darker you can make the room the better, and the picture above with the most clarity was taken in a completely dark room with no sunlight. The pictures above were taken on the vivid setting, which is the 2nd brightest setting. Anything else below vivid is dark and makes it hard to see. This projector shines with sports and video games. Regular tv/streaming is nice as well, but some of the colors dont look as good as they do for games and sports. If youre looking for your first projector, this is a solid entry level buy.

Terrible product and cherry on top, didnt come with a remote

Great projector love that its a TV on its own! Price is value for money

First impression: It’s compact, built well, and excellent packing I already have a projector, the JMGO N7, what is not perfect, but have good picture quality and brightness, but it’s not portable I was looking for something that have decent Brightness and full HD. I have got the AAXA P7, what actually a really well built and Small projector with excellent quality image The only think I had a problem with is the Contrast, and color accuracy, so I send it back. I decided to get the LG PF50KA. The contrast Is just WOW. 100000:1 . In my opinion contrast just as important as high brightness The colors are nice, The image sharp and the brightness is more than enough in a dark room. I did try with daylight, and the image is enjoyable. 600 lumIs perfect with the high contrast. I don’t know How long the battery will last, I be back in a few days..... the operating system is LG’s own system, If you like Amazon, unfortunately you will need a Fire Tv stick or any plugin to HDMI That support Amazon streaming, because LG don’t. Everything else is there like YouTube, or Netflix. Second day : The image Controll is awesome. Individual brightness, contrast, color, gamma Give incredible control over the image. I was able to match the color really close Between my laptop and the projector. The battery is about 1 hour and 20 min in High, 2 hour in mid and 2 hours and 30 min In low settings. The resolution is full HD Not interpolation. Meaning: the DLP is True 1920 x 1080. I’m really happy with This projector. Thank you for reading.... Back after two years, (March 2021) the projector is still the same and still goin. I’m using it 5-6 hours per day 7 says per week. LOVE IT EVERY DAY.!!!

I ordered this unit and it worked they way it was supposed to, but I did return it for a different projector that better fit my need. Unfortunately after I returned it the seller did not issue me my credit after having had it back in their possession. I had to hunt down through Amazon a credit return.
