Great Projector - LG needs to update software
on April 23, 2018
Posted by: jlw1247
from Atlanta
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The projector works great in a low light room on a screen of 100".
LG seemingly has not released any new software to support the new apps that are on its TVs of similar age.
Pros: ease of use, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small with Great Picture Quality
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: Bill208
from Phoenix, AZ, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this projector about a month ago. I was skeptical of the picture quality, given that the Ultra Short Throw is relatively new. I was pleasantly surprised after I got it all setup, the picture is great. No you can't really use it in a sunlit room but it is a home theater projector mainly for movies. I have my projector in a room that does not get direct sunlight and it is amazing. I was so impressed with this projector, I built my own entertainment center specifically for the projector. I put the projector under glass to minimize dust collecting on the lens and mirror and installed cooling fans to eliminate excess heat build up. I have the projector set at a distance farther than recommended, to give me a 120" screen and it performs perfectly with great picture quality. All my friends are amazed at how it works and how good the picture is. I bought this projector to watch movies but because of how well it performs, I use it for watching regular television as well. I have not even turned on my 70" inch television, since purchasing this projector. I will probably buy a second one for another room. Overall great job by LG.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible software
on December 31, 2016
Posted by: CBT_
from MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The software is horrible! Registering and all also is HORRIBLE. The video quality isn't bad and all it's just the software that makes is so bad. This device will frustrate you just trying to find "apps"
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good. Could be better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This projector is in a class of its own; it's hard to find a product like it. It does everything you'd expect it do do, but has a few caveats.
Pros:
- Good Image quality
- High resolution and high brightness for an LED projector.
- Long lamp life
- Wireless connectivity
- Built-in TV tuner and apps. Can connect antenna for basic TV service without paying for cable.
- Relatively quiet fan and distance from projector helps with perceived noise.
- Good Image quality
- High resolution and high brightness for an LED projector.
- Long lamp life
- Wireless connectivity
- Built-in TV tuner and apps. Can connect antenna for basic TV service without paying for cable.
- Relatively quiet fan and distance from projector helps with perceived noise.
Cons:
- Difficult to get an undistorted picture unless projecting on an absolutely perfect surface.
- Color is not completely uniform but this is not too noticeable.
- Needs faster way to switch between inputs. Magic Remote is not nice to use.
- Cannot connect to 5 GHz WiFi APs.
- Must be placed awkwardly in room. Cannot place too close to wall because image would be too small. Cannot place too far away from wall or on other side of room because image would be too large.

Nice to haves:
- Way to turn power on/off from remote app
- webOS software updates
- More input ports

Good 1080P Projector, Horrible "Smart TV"
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: Infos3c
from Tempe, AZ, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this is a good 1080P Projector, I can't recommend it to anyone that cares about the "Smart TV" features. The primary apps I use are not supported (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, HBO, Pandora, Plex, etc.)
The lumin output is OK, but you will need to strictly control ambient light (eg. blackout curtains, etc.)
Pros: Style/Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best bang for your buck
on November 26, 2016
Posted by: tronicsnerd
from Atlanta, GA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this to perform really well in a dark room and reasonably well in ambient light conditions. It is not the best for direct light conditions - not much of a problem for my situation. Other than that, this projector is absolutely fantastic - LED lamp, Ultra Short throw, Bluetooth connectivity for audio, up to 100 inches screen, full HD resolution & reasonably silent for my taste.
Pros: Style/Design, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!
