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

Complete garbage. Doesnt work and cant connect anything

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.

Have 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.

This thing is amazing. Its plenty bright for all but the most discerning eye, has a decent battery that lasts about 2 hours if you dont have it on Vivid and maxed the volume, and has both external Bluetooth audio and tons of input options! Ive used this at home, in a hotel in Mexico, in my backyard with a bedsheet... Its amazing. The throw is somewhere between standard and short but not so short as to make it unusable with non-tensioned screens. It has been tossed around in airport baggage, moved around 100 times, and I think my dog may have wacked it with her whip of a tail at one point... Keeps on going! Could you spend $500+ more for a slightly better product? Probably. Could you spend $5000+ for a premium product? Definitely. Is this good for a permanent home setup with a dedicated theater system/room? No. Will the AV snobs ever own this? No. But who cares what they think?? I can watch anything I want with a Chromecast, my phone, and a WiFi signal anywhere I want, on a 100 inch screen in passable HD with a JBL Flip filling the room and any reasonable flat surface.

The pocture quality is excellent and this product deserves better review but my review of 4 is because its smart capability with Lg webos is a little complicated compared to Android tv..the remote makes it further complicated but with a very good image quality for a dark room makes it an excellent projector..i brought XGIMI mogo pro but compared to this LG product the XGIMi image quality is no way closer to LG.. please dont fall for false marketing from XGIMI

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.

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 spend many hours of research looking for a full native resolution 1080p projector even I bought 3 small projectors that claim to be 1080p and sadly found that they were not. This one I really like wonderful picture the sound I used an external Bluetooth speaker (Polk omni 2) then it sounds awesome. I only give four stars because to me a remote control today must have a clear input button like a volume or channel change ones. You can change inputs but is not as easy to do. does not connect to Wi-Fi speakers as SONOS or Polk Omni 2 by Wi-Fi only Bluetooth or wires. will be nice if you could add the apps you like prime video and others not available at this moment, I hope lg do and update to their store app for this projector. I do not plan to use the battery that is way I did not rate it. Overall A sleek beautiful and great picture and lumens can be seen even in a little lighted room but like any projector in the dark is awesome it is own light will let you see thru the room.

Overall, 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.

When they say portable, they really mean portable. This smart projector fits is a one-hander. Its essentially a high definition smart TV in the form of an LED projector. We have it connected to our Fire TV Stick, but there are multiple options for connectivity, including an array of pre-installed services. Its ready to go out of the box. Image quality is phenomenal. Breathtaking. A 100 inch 1080p film (in your living room, or backyard, or anywhere -- its portable) really makes you stop to admire it. Sound is fine -- nothing to rave about, but nothing to complain about either. Bluetooth streaming of audio to better speakers is always an option. The battery only lasts 2.5 hours. Thats probably plenty in most circumstances. Ive yet to need to use the battery. Oh, and the bulb life is rated 30,000 hours. Thats a huge plus as well. Overall, you will be impressed with the clarity and warmth of the image. A dim room works best. Bright lighting or sunlight (even diffuse sunlight) will rob the image of its immediacy. But this is why movie theaters dont have windows.
