Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an okay projector. It shows very well, but just don't like the fact that we have to use something to prop it up to get the perfect angle.

Good quality so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a light, easily transportable projector that could project a high-quality image. This product checks all those boxes. Only concern is questionable focus control... It seems to "slip", not consistently adjusting. I worry how it will hold up. Other controls seem to operate well and to be durable.

Best probable projector
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best projector for the price it has a built in turner for cable or over the air. Is like having a phone jack on smart phone. The picture is great very bright and is just like a lg tv with web os. If this projector were at 1600 lumen it would be perfect. If you looking for portable projector look no further.

Uses XPR technology to achieve 1080p
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking to upgrade your 720p projector to a 1080p, look elsewhere. At the time of my purchase on 9/12/19, on LGs website under specifications, this projector was listed as FHD 1920x1080. Now it added “Full HD resolution with 2.1 million discrete pixels projected by XPR [Expanded Pixel Resolution] video processing”. Best Buy’s product specification does not even include this information. This is not true native 1080p. This is more comparable to a native 720p projector. For new projector buyers, this will be a good starting projector and the picture is not that bad but for people looking to upgrade their projectors, the upgrade quality will be minimum. It’s a shame that I only found this out after my return date had ended or else I would have exchanged and paid the difference on a true 1080p projector. I spoke with LG and Best Buy customer service but they could not help me. I just want to inform buyers so that they won’t make the same mistake that I did. Even 4K projectors have this technology! So 1080p upgraders be aware. This is my last LG projector that I will own because I wish they would have put the XPR info initially and I feel duped. To Best Buy, please update your specification info to include XPR on all your projectors. FYI, B&H includes “XPR” in the title when listing projectors. I wonder why?

Posted .The PF50KA allows you to watch movies and more in true 1080p high-definition sharpness, full of the fine detail that can be lost at lower resolutions. The picture remains lifelike and text is crystal-clear when displayed at up to 100 inches.

Works decently with room lights on
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This projector is significantly brighter than other travel projectors. The trade off is that it does not have a battery. We still turn off the lights at the front of the classroom to see it better. With the premium price it is a bit light on features like automatic alignment.

Outdoor movies
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great projector! We are using it for outdoor movies and it’s great! The picture is great and the battery life is great. Using a firestick to access Netflix, Apple TV and Disney+ and it works seamlessly.

Great product, just limited apps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product works great so far! The only thing I wished LG did was provide more downloadable apps such as Hulu, Paramount+, etc. Guess I will have to purchase a streaming stick separately for these such things.

Great For Outside Summer Movie Night
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family and I decided that we wanted to have family night on the lawn in the backyard. I didn't want to bring a huge projector outside so I started looking at the smaller ones. This one was perfect. We ended up playing Mario Kart on the Switch for hours. I'm sure the neighbors were a bit jealous.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my daughter’s birthday. Figured we would have a movie night since we could not celebrate how we usually did due to COVID. Now have it set up in our living room having daily movie night/playing video games. Definitely worth getting!

Great option to start your own Home Theater
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t expect that this little thing can beat projectors with 2500 lumens. Smart TV option left the others far behind. Without a doubt the best mini projector of 2018. I hope LG will make 4k version of PF50KA.

Good image, poor battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The biggest issue I was worried about with this projector is the image quality which turned out to far exceed my expectations. What Didnt work for me is the battery life. On first run it barely exceeded an hour, which was less than a movies worth. Second try was probably less than that. Not sure if mine was faulty or thats the standard but I certainly had better expectations, so will be returning it.

Excellent for the price.

poor quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not suggest to buy this expensive projector instead consider buying epson full hd which comes at same price. The reason is picture are not clear and they look dull . Though it has some pros like it can be play wireless approx 2 hr and its handy and light in weight. I returned this product within 1 day after purchase and the lady representative at counter was rude as she didnt listen anything why I am returning this product though i was trying to convince her that i want to exchange it with epson projector isntead she charge me restocking fee of 90 dollar.
