QuestionCould I use this projector in the backyard? My husband would love to watch soccer games at night in our yard.
Asked 6 years ago by Baires.
- Answer Heck yes! We have movie nights every week outside with just a white sheet and it looks great. You might want to buy your own speakers, audio is pretty good but outside sounds quiet.

QuestionIn the overview description it says "the wireless connection lets you connect both Android and Apple devices to it" but in the questions and answers LG says you cannot mirror from an iOS device. So what exactly can you do from an iphone wirelessly?
Asked 5 years ago by SB.
- Answer In response to LGs answer. You say that: "There is nothing in the description that states that the LG CineBeam LED Projector with Built-In Battery, Bluetooth Sound Out and Screen Share, Model # PH550 lets you connect to both Android and Apple devices." I am confused because when you click on the tab that says "Overview" it clearly states: "It includes a built-in battery that lasts for up to 2.5 hours so that you can transport this projector with you, and the wireless connection lets you connect both Android and Apple devices to it." I have included a picture in case you cannot find it. If you cannot connect this device to an Apple device then that should probably be mentioned in the description. Perhaps that is why there are so many questions about connecting to an iOS device.

QuestionDoes the projector have to be perpendicular to the screen/wall to get a square picture? Can the picture be adjusted square, if the projection is at an angle, maybe 45 degrees?
Asked 5 years ago by saggle.
- Answer The Keystone function for the LG CineBeam LED Projector with Built-In Battery, Bluetooth Sound Out and Screen Share, Model # PH550 is designed to prevent the screen image from becoming trapezoidal. It adjusts the top and bottom widths of the image if the projector is not set up at a right angle to the screen. Because the Keystone function may cause inferior screen image quality, use this function only when it is not possible to set up the projector at an optimal angle...^IFV
