    This 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.

    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 .

    If they made this projector with at least 1000 lumens it would be a heck of a lot better. The LG store is pretty outdated as well. They dont even offer Disney + or Movies Anywhere. Could be a great and fantastic projector but sadly they kept it conservative when it comes to those things.

    So far I love this projector. I am not very tech savvy to be fair . I’ve had no issues using it with my Nintendo switch , my iPad , my iPhone ... picture is outstanding. Easy to set up.

    Decent 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

    This 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!!!!

    I just received the unit today so these are my first impressions. Most projectors around 3000 lumens are 300 Watts or more, and I do not want to burn $40 a month just for electricity on my projector. So I wanted a 1080p projector good enough for a semi-lit room, semi-portable, not more than 1000 lumens or 100 watts. This is possibly the only projector on the market that fits the bill. Pros -Great 1080p resolution on a portable projector -Decent software, can watch Hulu, Netlfix, Youtube etc without needing to connect it to a PC. 600 lumens is good enough for a semi-lit room, and only consumes 65 Watts max, unlike other bright projectors that need 300-400 Watts. -I did not have the problem or forgetting the wifi password that others mentioned. -I did not have any difficulty with the remote or the menus. They are not the best, but they are quite useable. -Autokeystone works when the projector is pointing up. Cons -The major issue is with zoom. If you zoom to have clear picture in the center, it will be blurry near the edges. And vice-versa. What is the point of 1080p if poor zooming is going to ruin it? Unacceptable for a $650 projector. Sony projectors do not have that issue. Even a cheap Vankyo V600 projector does not have that issue. -Also, you cannot adjust the throw, you have to move the projector closer or farther from the screen to change the screen size. At this price point this is forgiveable, you usually have to pay more for adjustable throw. -There is a HORRIBLE bug, which makes keystone work incorrectly when projecting to wall at a level lower than the projector. (Or when projecting forward to the ceiling). Then, keystone distorts the image in the wrong direction, making it even more distorted (i.e. a parallelpiped, instead of an orthogon). LG, if you are listening, you HAVE TO FIX THIS BUG, it is totally unacceptable. Conclusion: If you want to show a powerpoint presentation, text may be blurry in the middle or edges of the screen. In movies, it is not as noticeable. If you want to lie in bed and project to the ceiling, a bit forward from the bed, auto-keystone will distort your image in the wrong direction, making the projector unusable.

    It is small easily carried in suitcase or even comiter bag. Image looks good though not sure would go out to full 100 inches as around 72 is most Reason for 4 stars as though comes with LG smart app it does have ability to do amazon as just has Netflix and Hulu which for many will be fine. Not sure why as other LG smart devices do. Ended up returning and getting not smart projector and buying a roku stick
