Customer Ratings & Reviews

I researched many models, and this one was a win for me with blutooth connection, HDMI, and a remote to adjust the sound from your own speakers. I set this projector up in my small bedroom. At about 8 feet back it makes around an 80-inch picture. (The further back you place the projector the bigger your picture will be.) No background screen needed! We just project it onto the white wall. My kids love to lay on the floor with their blankets or on the bed with me and have family movie nights. The picture is crisp and clear at night with the lights off. At sunset the picture is just okay. Says 720p, looks 1080p. Realistic coloring. Fan is very low, really can't hear it. Sound from speakers are lousey, but I hooked up my megaboom speaker via blutooth easily for great sound. Mouth is off sync slightly, but I've read there's an adapter cord that can plus into most blutooth speakers. It's not enough off sync to bother us though. HDMI hookup allows me to hook up to our blu ray player or Roku box. I've read in a review that LG batteries are not replaceable and once the battery dies you can't use this unit anymore. Battery life depends on how often you use it, but dies out at only about two years. So, I won't be using the battery for this. Best Buy warranty may be a good option for those wanting to use the battery. The two pictures I attached show sunset (blinds closed) viewing versus completely dark. Pros: HDMI port. Remote. Bluetooth to hook up a small speaker. HD. Crisp clear picture. Quiet fan. Tiny and portable. Cons: Poor speakers (this is for most projectors under $1,000) Has to be in a mostly dark in a room (That's most projectors). Possible battery issues in the future.

I was very excited to get this projector as it would be the first one I owned. I have one at my job that I had to use every day so I was slightly familiar with using a projector. So the main reason I was excited to get this LG projector was because of the small size and it being able to be easily moved around and carried and used anyplace. The size of the projector is perfect and it projects the image on any surface. I was very amazed at how clear the picture was! Not to mention the size of the image you can get with a clear picture was very impressive! Another great feature was it could be plugged in or there is a 2 hour battery life so incase you want to project where you don’t have an outlet, no problem! And 2 hours gives you enough time for a whole movie! The only negative thing about this projector which I hate to say is a big deal is the sound. You have to hook this up to another sound source so if you don’t have a speaker(s) you are out of luck. Even with the sound on full blast on the projector you can barely hear it even sitting right next to it. If LG could fix the sound quality then this projector would be perfect. So I had a speaker I hooked up to it and it worked great. It was a little inconvenience to add a speaker to it but at least the sound with the speaker worked great with the projector. So minus the sound issue this projector is amazing and I would recommend it especially for its price!

The wife and I bought this for backyard movie nights and so far it has not disappointed. I love how small and compact this projector is and the set up was SUPER simple. There is an HDMI port to connect to Roku or any device you want. We mirrored Youtube videos from the phone and sports and movies from the PC rather than using HDMI or USB. I was impressed with the picture. The audio is not really loud but luckily you can connect it to any Bluetooth speaker which is a major plus. Since the projector is portable, you do not need the remote with it however, the remote itself is super easy to use and it is nice and slim. As with most projectors, you need a dimly lit room (or outdoors) to fully enjoy the picture. I wish the projector had a keystone adjustment left and right. This would allow us to adjust a skewed picture with the projector to the left or right of our sitting location (it does have it up and down though). That was about the only function missing that the big projectors have. In the end, its a small miss considering all the other advantages this little thing packs!

Outdoor Movie night just got better with my LG PH30N CineBeam projector. It's a great projector to stream It was really easy to set up, the projector is compact and light weight! The quality of the projection is good when the lights are off you get a beautiful clear picture, if the lights are on the picture colors would get faded out when watching a movie. The projector is really easy to use, plugs right into a HDMI or USB cable to stream to the projector. I just plugged in my USB flash drive to look at my pictures, I also used my phone or my IPad to stream and watch my movies. The projector has a 2 hour built-in battery, audio is clear and smooth, Bluetooth sound out built in speakers or you can connect speakers for a much clear surround sound. The projector has a resolution of 1280x720p high definition with up to 100" screen. Every home should have one, makes outside movie night much more enjoyable.

Finally, I got the LG CineBeam Projector i have been waiting for so long. I was surprised to see how small and portable the projector was. I was using an older version on the LG LED projector before which is almost double the size than this. So was a bit skeptical about how it will project. There are quite a few features it performs that the older version couldn't. The battery backup. This one by far my favorite. So, I took everything out and started setting it up. It was evening by the time I figured out how to connect the sound to my Bluetooth speaker and how to screen share via laptop to the project. Now time to relieve the project display. So projected it on the wall and the clarity is amazing. There is no need to darken the room. The brightness of the project is superb. It projects on a big screen like. It has an easy feature like the Battery backup for two hours, a project to focus, wireless, and Bluetooth support. the other major improvement I observed is it doesn't get heat up or make noise. Can mount it anywhere as its very light in weight. We found the remote was really helpful to the on/off the projector. It has easy navigation to setting and volume control. New feature I found is its has front and back projection feature in it. We projected it on a white wall and the clarity is amazing. We are able to read the CC as well so, imagine how good the clarity is. I have been watching all my shows on the projector. I won't opt for TV when I have a good projector at home. I am able to view my shows in the morning hours as well. On the window of improvements side, I see that the audio volume on the projector is a bit low, and also USB-C support would be a game-changer. #LGTechInsiders #freeproduct #InsiderStories Overall it's a very good projector from LG that can be used both indoor and outdoor without a power supply. Pro: Small in size Big projection Easy to charge Battery back up Easy to focus Portale Easy remote access Cons: The audio volume is low. Screenshare connectivity can improve. Missing USB-C support

This thing does exactly what you'd expect from it and it does it well. It is not 4k. It is not super bright. But for a budget projector, it works well. The image is HD and you will definitely need to have a somewhat darkened room for it to look good. It is super, super small and runs on battery if you wish. It has an HDMI port to connect your roku, or whatever device you want. It also connected to my bluetooth speaker for audio, which works well. The audio was off, but they have a setting to tweak the audio delay. It does allow for you to throw video right from a phone or laptop without the HDMI. It isnt chromecast though and it basically mirrors your phone. Doesnt work as well as chromecast, but it does work. I havent tried to watch a movie that way, but I assume it works. I just have a roku hooked up to mine. Also thinking of hooking a mini Sega or NES system up as well. This is for you if you want to have a projector that you'll use from time to time. Probably not best if it is your only TV in the house -- the quality isn't 4k and you'll always need a dark room. but for my purposes, it is perfect!

Great projector for outdoor movie night. My family and I were looking for a safe and exciting way to fulfill our weekly movie night at home rather than going to the movies. We upgraded our old projector for the LG Cinebeam. While the projector is compact, it packs a great picture. We have been experiencing movie night out in the backyard and can even take the projector with us when e travel because it's so compact. The projector shows a great picture again the backdrop of the night sky. We connected a sound bar to the laptop to increase the movie night experience and wow! It truly is an experience. My family loves the time we spend together and I love the fact the projector can be used for work or home. Set up was easy but just like all teach products you will need to purchase your HDMI cord separately. This truly is a great product and is really easy to use. Have fun!

We have used this little weightless projector so many nights. Outdoor movies with family and friends are a click away. LG CineBeam Projector is easy to use. The picture is very clear. The ability to have up to 100 inch of HD cristal clear picture either inside or outside, is a nice feature. It has a built in battery that last up to two hours. Wireless capability and USB connector. Using the Bluetooth feature was easy and connected very fast. I really enjoy the controller. It was straight forward and easy to understand. It connects fast and easy for mirroring my phone. We love movie nights more now because the images are so clear, even outside!

The LG CineBeam is a compact, extremely versatile video projector. It is equipped with a battery, so it can used where no connection to AC power is available.The picture quality is excellent. It is also an excellent candidate for use as a home theater projector. I was even able to pair to outside speakers, which allows me to set up a surround sound effect, it sounded great. I'm projecting from about 15ft away onto a wall and the image is plenty bright, even with some ambient light in the room things are still watchable. Something really noticeable, especially how vivid everything looks. The colors are really vibrant. The throw distance i'm using is about as far away from my screen as i can while not making the image too large. One drawback is that there is no height adjustment. If the image is too low on the screen or wall or whatever you’re projecting on, you will have to find something to set it on. It’s small size and light weight make it an excellent candidate for use as a portable projector, but the lack of height adjustment would need to be kept in mind. Out of the box, the unit is easy to set up. Put the included batteries in the included remote control and then simply plug it in and turn it on. It will take you through setup menus for time, date, location, and sources of programming. I put in my fire stick and it works well and the movies look great on the screen and the sound is good enough you won't be disappointed I definitely recommend this

This purchase made for fun summer nights outside. The battery powered projector with a Chromecast made it easy to pick up and take outside for a little movie time on the side of the house. We paired our Sonos Move to the projector which gave us great sound that wasn't too loud for the neighbors. Looking into a blow up movie screen so we can up our game. I'd recommend this as a good value purchase.

Great HD quality projector. Can get kind of loud on max quality setting. Sound quality not that good. All in all packs power in a small projector.

Overall, it was fine. Pros The mirror ability with your phone is great. I only was interested in connecting to my phone The battery life is really good It is small and really portable The picture quality is pretty decent Cons The speaker is horrible. I had hoped for somewhat decent for when I don't have a speaker to connect with but it truly was terrible sound quality The lag at times was too much. It started to feel like I was watching a dubbed movie. It never really did sync correctly. I had hoped for something better at this price point. The speaker quality could have been better at the very least. I returned it as I felt like I couldn't get passed the cons I mentioned. I may spend more for something better but still undecided at this point.

Compact, great image quality for the price and size. The speakers are not great, but a portable external speaker can help courtesy of the output jack.

Great quality for the money. Easy to connect to the sound bar. Leveling feet might be a nice addition for future models.

I bought this projector to watch TV in bed, and for that it works well. The picture quality is about what you would expect for the price - it could be brighter, but in a totally dark room with an 80" picture it's OK. No smart apps, so you'll want a steaming device. The controls are easy to use, but there aren't many options.

I love, love, love this projector. It's kind of expensive for 720p but the trade off is that the whole experience with this projector is so well-balanced and practical. The colors really pop out on this projector and the fan is very quiet so it doesn't disturb while running. The speakers, however, are really weak (1W speakers), so unless you have external audio then you may want to consider other options. Otherwise this projector is awesome in every other way.

I loved the portability and price but when I tried to use during the evening/nighttime outdoors it wasn't bright enough for a movie viewing even in the dark. Wouldn't recommend unless you have a very low-light environment, also doesn't support airplay or iOS products. Returned the next day.

I absolutely love this projector. It sets up really easy straight out of the box. Definitely invest in some sort of an external speaker system unless you’re using it alone. If you try using Apple Airplay you’re going to be disappointed because this system doesn’t recognize it. Best Buy does have an adapter that you can connect your Apple device to that will allow you to stream to the projector.

Was a lot better than I expected, especially for its petite size. I leave it plug in since it remains in the same location but I did accidentally disconnected and although it’s suppose to be 2 hours of wireless, it didn’t last long for me but it’s not a deal breaker since it doesn’t move. Overall content with my purchase. You get what you pay for.

I was a bit skeptical of this device but the price and the specs seem just right. This is definitely good for on the go, if you would like to do movies in the backyard or something along those lines. The bluetooth sound is great however it loses sync quite often, about to test the 3.5mm audio. For the price and the mobility, this works wonders!
