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

The picture is great, I like how compact and well designed the exterior of the projector is buttttt…I just about lost my mind trying to set this thing up ( I’m not a pro but I am pretty good at figuring these things out). You have to use mimecast to mirror UNLESS to add a Roku or similar to mirror thru which is almost necessary because the only major streaming apps that you are able to install are Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube??? Doesn’t make since since other smart products they offer have that ability? WTH? Hey, but they do have Tetris and a bunch of other random apps so I guess that makes up for all the trouble? We will never buy another lg anything and may even return this one.

Nice picture with decent settings and controls offered for a low end projector. Brightness is also decent for the price. Dim or dark only. No direct light or itll wash out. Wifi connected fine and Netflix started right up. Chromecast execution worked perfect as well. People complain about the remote and crappy speaker but I think both are acceptable, given what this product is. Its not going to come with a back lit remote or surround sound... I use a small speaker with a cable and it sounds cool if youre just sitting there watching a movie. Now for what I dont like: 1. Battery is weak. Very weak. However, using a powerbank plugged into the USB C port, I was able to run the projector (fully charged) for 3 hours before both the projector battery and powerbank were both dead. Thats a 12,000 MHz internal battery plus the 20,000 MHz powerbank I used. So....be prepared for this to suck your batteries dry. I had it on medium power. On high power, Im guessing 2 hours for 32,000 MHz. So the 2.5 hour claim is maximum battery saver turned on and basically not using the projector, haha. Be prepared for 45min to an hour use for a full battery with no powerbank, on medium or high power which is almost required. Low setting in a dark room is still pretty dim looking. 2. If you bought this to watch videos/movies where theres no reception or wifi (camping for example) you should first confirm you have a device that supports a video out signal. Airplay isnt going to work, nor would chromecast as they need wifi. If you have an iPhone, I believe you can buy an adapter that allows you to plug in your lightening cable and have an HDMI out to the projector. That would work. I have a pixel 3 and none of the pixel devices (even the 4) offer video out, from USB C. So, you cant use a cable, nor can you use Chromecast cause theres no wifi to bridge the signal. There are some Android devices that allow video out from their USB c ports such as the Samsung 8. Theres maybe 20 Android devices that allow it, so check that out. Maybe youre lucky and have a phone thatll do it. Also....the LG plus mobile app will also not work because it will also require wifi. TBH, the LG plus app is useless unless you really hate the remote and want to control the projector with your phone instead, but again... youll need that wifi if you want to leave the remote at home. Better bring it. 3. That gets us to usb/hard drive support. Yes....if you have movies, music, and pictures on a hard drive, itll work and Im pretty impressed by the amount of different files and codecs it supports. I have a bunch of movies in different formats: wmvs, Avis, mpgs, mkvs (Blu Ray) ECT. So far... everything plays. So now youre thinking, cool! Ill bring the projector, Bluetooth speaker, powerbank, and mini hard drive and watch movies off the drive. Not so fast! Theres a bug with the projector where when you access the hard drive using the on board navigation buttons on the projector because you left your remote at home, surprise! Theres no way to scroll through your movies! Once you access your folder directory on your drive with the on board buttons, the scrolling and selection dont work. The only thing you can do in this view is raise the volume up and down. So youll need that remote when you go camping. 4. Wifi direct does exist which should solve the lack of wifi issue but whenever I pair my phone with the projector, nothing improves or happens. Perhaps its my phone or Im doing something wrong.... 5. No lens cap. (?!?!!) Why the f not? Its a portable projector so that increases the likely hood of it getting scratched or dirty. I rubberband a plastic bag over it and keep it in a travelbag. 6. I use YouTube TV of which does not come pre installed. Only Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. Theres an on board browser but it blocks YouTube TV when you try to login. So if you want to watch yttv or Amazon prime, youll also need to pack that Chromecast.... 7. On the highest settings a few mentioned the fan is not loud but I think it is. I get 38db on my sound meter which I find distracting. Medium and low are fine and medium is usually bright enough. Small issue. So....if you really want this to work in the woods with no cell reception or wifi, first confirm you have the ability to video out, from your device and see it work on something. A tv, whatever. Another option is to bring your laptop. You can do HDMI out from your laptop to the projector and use it that way. Just remember the battery issue. Youre burning the laptop battery, projector battery, and the powerbank all at the same time...lol. Seems like too much effort. Or bring a generator and plug everything in! Lastly, dont forget the remote cause youll need it for navigation based on the LG needing a firmware update to fix the lack of controls. Also, downloading Netflix movies wont work cause youll need to run those off the USB drive but those files require the Netflix app to play. If youre someone who knows how to rip Netflix movies, of course you can go that route but youre still going to need to bring that extra stuff. What this projector still needs in order for it to be a great portable projector: 1. Battery power thats quadrupled (or more...) 2. More on board apps preinstalled like YouTube TV, Amazon prime, and Disney plus reducing the need for Chromecast. 3. An internal harddrive, allowing you to load movies, shows, documents, photos, PowerPoints, ECT onto the projector itself. Then you wouldnt need to worry about the lack of wifi and just play/display whats on the projector. 4. Zoom So...if you have connectivity, eithernet or wifi you should be good. If youre planning on running it with no connectivity, be sure to do a test run to make sure you have everything with you and that youll have enough battery to pull it off. I spend my time currently staying at different places of residence so because of that, this projector works perfect for me, as opposed to dragging around a tv.

stop looking any further. Just buy it . It’s a wonderful projector with excellent quality. Battery time is slightly less but you can increase it with power bank .

Very happy with this product. It’s believable how great it looks.

This 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?

The size of this is great and LG interface is nice, but I cant figure out a cable situation to ceiling mount this and not have the DC power supply brick / inverter visible. (See blue tape temporary fix - looking to hide the HDMI and power cable with raceway cable cover.) I would love to know if somebody has found an option to extend the cable to get the power supply brick out of sight.

Great entry level Projector w/Smart Tv functionality. Darkened room preferred. Black Out Curtains are very convenient. Great for away missions. My Roku+ Stick is a handy must have. Uhh wifi needed. Dont forget a inexpensive antenna for television functionality.

First 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.

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