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

Loved the thing at first, 6 months later the battery doesnt hold a charge and the remote control rarely works.

This project is easy to carry with you to client meetings. Its small and works really well. Battery life is pretty good.

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.

Good small size, decent battery life, picture quality is excellent, lumens isnt too bad in a semi dark room and is more than adequate in a dark room (if you have dark walls and ceiling too then the contrast level would be outstanding). On medium/maximum energy saving mode the projector is super quiet. The connectivity is great, Bluetooth, WiFi direct/miracst etc, all seem to work quite well. Things I didnt like: Lack of any kind of optical zoom though I did know this before buying it so havent marked it down for that in my rating, Menu wont let you change region from US, and there seems to be no good reason for this, which means you cant set the time zone properly for it (which is a sillyoversight for what is ostensibly a travel projector), this may not be true of non-US bought ones, I dont know for sure, given that the option is there in the menu but just greyed out so you cant change it I would guess that other countries or an international model might allow you to change that country setting, Bluetooth audio does sometimes lag ever so slightly / goes out of sync, particularly when watching streaming videos, not as much when watching regular content, but to be honest I find this seems to happen with basically all Bluetooth speakers when watching streaming videos so to some degrees it may just be a limitation of the technology, also some people may not notice this as much anyway just I find Im quite sensitive to it and it bothers me so I just plug in speakers with headphone jack because it does have a line out option through that same headphone port which is good at least, (it also has an audio resync option in the menu but its a rather unwieldy automated affair that doesnt seem to work all that well, particularly when it comes to Bluetooth audio sync issues because the syncing issue usually isnt a steady difference, Minimum energy saving mode provides brightest picture quality but is also accompanied with louder fan noise. Its not an intolerable level of noise, but its definitely noticeable and so usually I use the medium setting or if my room is completely dark with dark non reflective walls then maximum is fine too. Even on minimum I would say it still is quieter than most other projectors I have heard though, The remote has waaaaay to many buttons that you dont need since everything can be adjusted by the software menu, yet weirdly is missing buttons that would be quite useful to have quick to hand (like changing the energy saving level with a click rather than having to go through the menu). Remote should be back lit but isnt :-S Sidenotes: I dont know what other people here have been complaining about with their issue of the unit going straight to TV when they turn it on instead of to the last used input, when I turn mine on it just goes to whatever I was last viewing, it could possibly be that theyre fully switching off the unit by pressing the button on the top maybe? I dont know, but basically if you use the remote to power up and down then you wont have this issue. Final thoughts: Theres room for improvement with this projector, its far from perfect... But if you want 1080p quality, with acceptable brightness and contrast when used in a dark space, good connectivity, and you want all that to be portable... Well then I dont think there are any better options than this out there at the moment.

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.!!!

wonderful portable projector for a dark room! Looks just as good as tv in dark environment !

Excellent product As usual from 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.

Exceeded expectations. Works very well in our setup. Pleasantly surprised at the uptime when running on the internal battery. Have attached a chromecast to it but the WebOS on this is pretty good. Very intuitive to use. Highly recommended

Battery backup is very poor. Excellent picture quality in dark room. Light weight. Bluetooth audio fluctuations
