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

This is my new TV and I couldnt be happier. Had the nebula and it couldnt hold a candle to this thing( which is how bright the Nebula is btw). This is brighter by far and as bright as to be expected from a 600 ANSI projector. Ive had it on for 12hours and it doesnt get too hot. Picture is clear at 100inches and could go bigger with similar results I feel. Sound is enough but pairs well with my Sony Xbr-20. PlayStation, fire stick, TV antenna all hooked up at once and run well. Video games are amazing on it. Cant wait for football season. Only real gripe is the remote feels kinda cheap and is over crowded with non backlit buttons. Fan is audibly noticeable if sitting right next to it until you learn to drown it out like a screaming kid. Love it so far. Buy it and you cant go wrong.

Replaced my Qumi Q3 Pico projector for this LG, and honestly the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Picture quality is great, and the brightness is just what i needed. My favorite part is the auto keystone feature! The internal speaker is average as to be expected from an internal speaker. Battery life is good. Lasts about the length of a movie. LG OS installed is great, and so easy to navigate and use!

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.

You know the saying you get what you pay for...well this is a great example. I went through 3 other projectors from $100-360 and they all exclaimed brightness and clarity. That was not the case finally bit the bullet and dropped some more cash and it was worth it! Great portability and the ability to connect to a external Bluetooth speaker make this a winner in my book. Did I mention this has amazing video quality!? It does. Almost compares to my $1,500 Sony projector that is 4x as big. Needed portability because I like to travel and going to other peoples houses that have tiny crappy TVs was getting to me. Photos above where from when I first set it up. Which was easy! Great menu system as well. One Con is the remote. Too many buttons and not back lit. Hard to find the button you want unless you look at it. Maybe over time my fingers will remember. Not a deal breaker. Buy it! Hope you found this review helpful!

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.

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.

I tried six of the top-rated full HD, battery-powered, portable projectors and found this one to be the best. Compared with other portable projectors, this has the best picture, most intuitive on-screen menu, and a true 2.5-hour battery life. You can get an additional 2.5 hours of projection time by plugging the LG PF50KA into a portable, rechargeable battery, such as the HALO Bolt 58830 ($110 on Amazon). (5.23.19 UPDATE: One reviewer noted problems with focus; I have not.) CAUTION #1: When comparing projectors, do not be fooled by brightness specifications in the product title or spec section that simply say lumens rather than ANSI lumens. (ANSI = American Nation Standards Institute). If the specs say LED lumens or just lumens, please recognize that your are reading advertising, not a real measure of brightness. The LG PF50KA is measured at 600 ANSI lumens. Thats as bright as any battery-powered portable projector on the market today. For apples-to-apples brightness comparisons, you need to know the ANSI lumens of each projector. CAUTION #2: When comparing projectors, be sure to check its native resolution. Just as with lumens, there is a lot of advertising fluff that contains abbreviations such as HD. Keep in mind that almost all modern projectors can play video files that were filmed at various resolutions, but they will downgrade the fidelity to what the projectors graphics processor and native lamp capacity are. (Analogy: You can watch a 4K movie on your HD TV, but it will show up in HD, not 4K. You would need a 4K TV to display a 4K movie.) The LG PF50KA has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (width x height in pixels) considered Full HD by industry standards. It will display a 4K (3840 x 2160) movie at Full HD (1920 x 1080). Always check the native resolution of your projector so you know the maximum definition that projector is capable of displaying.

does what i expected, affordable 1080p projector with decent image and lumens for a darker room smart features didnt matter to me, i have an nvidia shield that does everything into hdmi 1 fan noise and bluetooth range didnt matter to me, i use WF-1000XM3 headphones via bluetooth to the shield keystone left to right would be nice, this only does vertical so you need to be centered on your projection angle some reviews/questions seem a bit confused on the zoom...this projector does zoom, but it also doesnt...that is to say, the projected image size is solely dependent on how close or far away you are from the surface youre projecting onto...that cant be altered...there IS a zoom setting in the menus, but its for zooming in/out on the image itself...imagine looking at the camera view on a phone, where the phone size stays the same but takes up more or less of your field of view depending on how closely you hold it to your eyes...but you can also pinch to zoom in/out on the image displayed on the screen and THAT is the only zoom capability you have on this projector

This is my first projector and I LOVE it 1080x1920 picture is awesome. Bluetooth to 2 different speakers Bose and rock speakers you cant go wrong. Went from 68inch TV to a 100inch screen LOVE,LOVE, LOVE IT!!!

If you want to show movies outside and not have to be tethered to power outlets, power cords, network, this is the projector to get! Starting with it diminutive size, true 1080p video, ample brightness in dark settings, included battery with up to 2.5 hours of runtime (can attach power bank for even longer runtime), bluetooth audio out and USB drive input (supports most video file formats and codecs) and tripod mounting hole, this projector checks off all the boxes! There is a USB port on the back of the projector, load some movies onto a USB flash drive, insert into projector, then bring up the included file browser from main menu, choose the movie to watch and that is it! Also, there is a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port on the back of the projector, so if you have a power bank that support USB-C PD, simply connect it to the PD port on the projector, it will continue to charge the onboard battery to give even longer runtime. I found a 26,800 USB-C power bank on sale for $40 at a local big box electronics store and it works perfectly. Pair this projector with a good, easy to set up portable screen and a powerful bluetooth speaker, you have your dream desert island movie theater! I recommend spending a bit more to get a quality screen, and one that is super easy to set up and break down. Remember, portability and ease is the key here. I found a great portable screen that has a square tubular aluminum frame that is cleverly hinged, the sturdy screen snaps onto the frame, then simply insert foldable legs Into screen and you are done. With 2 people the screen goes up in about 10 minutes or less and comes down and stowed away even quicker. Also, pair it with a powerful bluetooth speaker and you truly will have a full theater experience outside under the stars. I have an Aiwa Exos-9 bluetooth speaker, it pumps out theater quality sound to go along with the vivid image from the projector. And, once paired with the LG projector, I can control the volume from the included LG projector remote, great for upping quiet parts and lowering extremely loud parts of the movie, especially if playing outside close to other homes. There are other features like built in wi-fi support, Netflix, Youtube apps, but none of that concerns me as they will not be available where I will be playing my movies, on my private desert island! So, if you want a truly portable projector that checks off all the boxes, get this, you wont be sorry!
