> 3 dayThis is the best LED projector I was able to find on the market right now, and the only one that displays 1080p. Being LED, it turns on and off much quicker than most other projectors and is quieter than others in this price range. Overall, it is a solid, high quality product that is a joy to use for gaming and movies. I use mine for a 120 inch screen (despite the 100 inch limit) on an off-white wall and it still looks great. Pros: Full 1080p resolution Very low input lag for gaming Auto vertical keystone with no blur Good brightness for a dark room Very small and portable Responsive remote Quick to turn on and off Low fan noise (on medium energy saving mode) Low heat produced Con: No zoom feature (if you are mounting it, find out where it needs to go before screwing the mount in place) Wireless display has heavy delay (better to just use an HDMI for movies) Other features: It can play movies and photos directly from a USB stick. It does have built in smart features, but since I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a Nintendo Switch, I havent used them so I cant comment on those.

> 3 dayYou cannot adjusts the side angle. So unless you mount this perfectly straight, it will be distorted.

Greater than one weekIt would be perfect if it had a drop down adjustment foot for height. We have had to use various shims depending on where we put it.

> 3 dayIve owned this projector for years as a TV replacement. It has worked great, has many nice features, and has been trouble free. The only weak point is the brightness, which is limited to 600 ANSI Lumens. Now I am searching for an upgrade to 4K and at least 1500 ANSI Lumens, but those are still almost 3x the cost of this projector here. I will keep using this one until a good deal on a 4K upgrade is available. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who can control the amount of light entering the room. As long as you understand the brightness limitations you will not be disappointed with this purchase!

> 3 dayFirst 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.!!!

> 3 dayThis is my first projector experience. I had a Wowoto H9 for a very short period of time and returned it because of a critical focus issue and bought this LG PF50KA instead on flash sale. Its been about 10 days since I received it and I am generally very happy with it. No issues with uneven focus on this one. **Updated on 4th week and very important. You can adjust display option. My mistake.** Pro 1. Its a major pro. The image quality. To begin with, 1080p (LG PF50KA) is way better than 720p (Wowoto H9). Pixels are easily spotted on the 720p screen but 1080p is smoothly faded with no obvious pixel presence in close inspection. Brightness is really good too. Even in low light settings (in the morning with blinds, in my case when the sun is shining to the opposite direction of the projector screen from around 7am to 3pm), the image is still very bright. But when the sunlight is coming toward the screen (4pm to 7pm), it is not so favorable while still watchable. And obviously, a full light on room is not working for this projector at all and a complete dark room setting at night is the best. 2. Smart TV capability. Hulu and Netflix are pre-installed and available on the go. LG contents movies and dramas are easy to navigate too. 3. Battery capability. I havent moved the projector from its set position yet, but I certainly think I can carry this to another room for movies or outdoors. Not a pocket sized projector but still very much carry-able in your backpack or small designated carriers. 4. Wireless connectivity. Works well with my bluetooth headphone. No hassle. Havent tested other bluetooth connections like smartphones but there are many more connectivity available via wireless. Con 1. No longer a Con. You can adjust display such as contrast, brightness, etc. So disregard this section. **updated** 2. Amazon Prime video is not available on the go. The pre-installed Internet browser (Chrome) works well but it does not support Amazon Prime video streaming. Amazon fire stick will probably allow you to watch Amazon Prime videos. I havent tried it yet, but it should work. 3. Remote control could get better. I got used to it in 2 days but it seemed complicated at first. Too many buttons. Also, the buttons feel a bit too dull, making the whole menu navigation experience feel less crisp. Durability looks good instead. 4. No zoom in out or position change. I knew about this before the purchase and it didnt cause too much trouble, but Id much prefer to have the feature. Okay 1. Fan noise level is okay. When there is sound it is barely noticeable. When there is no sound, it is quite noticeable. But, it did not bother me much for 8 hour straight use even though my projector is placed right next to me. With headphones on, the fan noise is unnoticeable. You can hear the fan running on open can headphones, but only when theres no sound. Not a big problem for me. 2. Sound quality and loudness from this tiny projector is actually not bad. It depends on what source you are playing, but with Nintendo Switch hooked on, it gets pretty loud. The projector is set right next to my bed and if I put it over 50% loudness, I lower it down to 35% to 40% in less than 10 minutes because it hurts my ears. Nothing special but clear enough sound. Left right recognition is there, too but not great. Bass is not really there and I did not expect it to be. I think overall sound quality is okay for a small projector. Definitely acceptable. However, the internal speaker wont be good for Bluray audio or other multi channel support audio media. I played a 12GB movie and the internal speaker just sounded jammed. Foggy and very unclear. I suspect it is due to the amplified bass signals the input source is sending out. Otherwise, everything else worked just fine so far. 3. Built-in TV interface. Its alright. Pretty fast to go through menus. Click response time is very short and the operation software has never been slow or draggy for me. Menus look clean and easy to navigate. Fast enough to change through differenct sources, too. Takes only 3 seconds to change from HDMI port#1 to port#2. Have not noticed any lag at all in terms of software interface. Also, the menu orders are customizable. For instance you can put Youtube 1st, HDMI#1 2nd, HDMI#2 3rd, Netflix 4th, etc. You can change pre-set display mode with short key button on the remote control. However, as I mentioned, there are too many buttons on the remote control and the buttons feel dull, rubbery, and somewhat hard. I believe it is made this way for durability, but the fast interface feels slower due to this not so snappy feeling remote control. Final thoughts **updated** **I could give this projector 4 stars for not having the display customization**<<NOT TRUE. You can adjust display attributes all you want>> but decided give it a 5 stars because of the flash sale (about 100 off). The preset modes arent bad either except for the two expert mode for different room situations which I think are pretty useless. The remote control gets on my nerves but its not like they feel cheap or dont work properly. Just lack some finesse. Overall, I am really glad I bought this 1080p projector over the 720p Wowoto H9. **update** I read someones comment and realized you can adjust Contrast, Brightness, H Sharpness, V Sharpness, Color, Tint, Color Temperature, Dynamic Contrast, Super Resolution, Color Gamut, Edge Enhancer, Color Filter, Gamma, White Balance, Color Mnagement System. Wow.
