Great product overall.

After using this projector a little bit I have a pretty good idea of its potential. The image is very clear, colors are very nice. Brightness is on the low end, with sunlight it is useless, however it can handle artificial room lightning ok, Not very bright but watchable, if you need to watch under heavy light conditions, then this is not the right projector for you. The ultra short throw ability is amazing, saves tons of space and no need for wires all over the place, the picture quality is very good, however focus is never perfect across the entire image, this is not noticeable while watching a movie or playing video games, but it is an issue. In completely dark sceene there is a darker area in the lower left part of the image, but not visible during normal operation really. No rainbow artifacts is a nice thing! Overall this is a very nice projector, a little bit expensive in my opinion, but being able to have such a big picture with such small distance from the screen is great! Totally worth it.
Pros: easy to use, Features/Settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this last year and brought it to Australia (auto volt works, just need a plug adapter) for a long family vacation. Everyone loves using it for playing video games, enlarging streaming media using our IPhone with lightning to HDMI adapter.
Pros: Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Projector and have been using for more than a month now.
Recommended for below points:
- Ultra Short Throw : No need for Extra room setup and can be used on a TV Table.
- Portable : Small and portable
- Input options : HDMI, Cable Antenna, USB. Almost all options you need like a TV
- MiraCast : Casting enabled is another great feature, removes the need for a Chromecast
- Life : With no need to change a lamp this can be used a daily use screen like TV

Problem Areas:
- Dark areas : They become obtrusive on black/night scenes
- Not very Bright : But work in Theater setup rooms
- Priced High then expected : The Price should be lower to justify a buy for this Item as many users even if impressed by this projector turn away for other options.

Other Features:
- Ok Speaker Sound: Need external for a good watching experience
- Acceptable Fan sound : If Maximum Energy saving is enabled, the Fan sound does not bother and especially if you are using external speakers.
- LG Smart : Not a great piece of feature but works for some basic TV Streaming services.

I would really like LG to address the screen Dark Areas issue with an update (Hardware or Software).

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this ust a month ago. After months of research I finally pulled the trigger. Nothing really blows me away. But this little gem did. So easy to use. It took me less than ten minutes to set up. No running wires through the walls or bulky tv brackets. When you think technology can’t get any better lg is destroying the competition. A very satisfied customer.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Performance, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Who needs a TV anymore?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This projector has changed the way we consume tv and use the internet. The unit is very light and compact while projecting a great image.. we even use it throughout the day.
Apple TV allowed us to connect all our iOS devices with ease.
I would highly recommend this projector for anyone who is looking to stream content.

One of the most fun projectors I've ever had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a fun and simple to use projector, amazing image quality, I actually have it at 140 inches. With only 1000 lumens you will need a dark room though, just get curtains. And super portable too I take it with me to friend's house all the time.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!
