> 24 hourDecent 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

> 24 hourGreat 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.

> 24 hourI love the quality of the projection! It’s a definite upgrade to the cheap $75 projector I previously bought from Amazon. I also love the remote, features, and battery that comes built in. The only couple draw backs are that the software is outdated and there is no available update so I’m not able to get many apps for the device outside of Netflix and Hulu. The other draw back is that there is no volume indicator. Other than that it’s a great projector! Silent and bright! Very happy with it.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourYou 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!

> 24 hourexcellent image. im throwing it on the side of my house with a image size of 115X50 and the image is crystal HD awesome. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I can not find the Amazon Prime app on the lG content store while on this device, My TV sees it. Also it would be a BIG plus if the remote was back lit and a designed better for using in the dark.

> 24 hourExcellent picture quality. Not too loud. Very disappointed with app selection. Only has Netflix, Hulu, UFC apps. No Amazon Prime, no Vudu, no Movies Anywhere, no HBO, no CBS app, etc. Disappointed I have to still use my Roku stick with it to watch what I want. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with it.
