Almost perfect for my needs
on June 25, 2018
Posted by: teaman99
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted mini-projector as a low cost alternative to a large screen TV in my bedroom (to shoot against the wall). I looked at several options. I was going to go cheap, but avoided the Amazon options because many seemed to be Chinese knockoffs that said they couldn't play netflix, youtube, etc. Which defeats the purpose for me. I was originally considering getting the Best Buy model, but at the last second, bought this LG one instead.
It's still early yet, but so far, I'm happy. Unfortunately, you can't wife your iPhone to it, but I knew that going in. Seems to be true for most projectors. But it does play Netflix and Youtube. It doesn't play DirecTV app, but I think that's more a function of the app. It USED to play, but once I upgraded the app, it stopped working. I think it may be a DirecTV thing to somehow prevent piracy (don't ask me how -- that's just my research).
The picture quality is more than acceptable. I don't mean that as a backhanded compliment. It's better than what I had expected. It's not 1080 HDTV, but I shoot it against a light gray wall from maybe 8-10 feet away, and the picture is clear and sharp. I found it works better for film and TV than fast-moving sports. Not sure why that is, but I wouldn't recommended it for sports.
The sound is fine. You can use a sound bar. I have one and don't even bother to plug it in. Haven't even tried it. One day I might, but for now, the sound is good enough that it hasn't inspired me to try.
I use this projector in a dark room, usually at night, and I turn off the lights. So it's a dark room, even during the day. If i watched this in a brighter room, would be a different story.
So this is almost perfect for my needs. A lens cover would make it better. The fact that I had to buy a $50 apple adapter to use this was a big hit (I also bought a $25 tripod to put this on). And I wish I could use DirecTV Now app with this, but I think the issue is with the app, not this projector.
But again, having said all that, this is actually better than I expected, as long as there are no issues going forward, I am very happy with this purchase.

Expensive, but works
on June 8, 2018
Posted by: teaman99
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The price point is a killer for what you get. But it does seem to work. I bought it to connect my iPhone/ipad to an HDMI cord to plug into a projection screen. I can't really speak to any issues of picture degradation (because the picture quality is a function of the projection more than anything, I think), but, having said that, it looks good to me. The only tiny issue is that my directv app does not work in conjunction with this. When I read up on the issue, I think that may be an issue with Directv intentionally NOT making it compatible to thwart piracy or something. And it DID work with the old DirecTV app before I had to update the app, so probably some truth to that. Haven't figured out a workaround yet. But Netflix and Youtube work with it. Don't have Hulu, so haven't tried that. (beware if you try buying a cheaper knockoff of this, because the knockoffs sometimes don't work with the streamers).

So far so good

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase and no real complaints. My only minor concern is with the fan. Specifically, it doesn't seem to really draw the steam, etc from the stove below. So while I wish that did a better job, the microwave aspect works well, it looks nice, and have had no issues.

good price, a bit loud, does an ok job of cooling
on September 3, 2017
Posted by: teaman99

Verified Purchase:Yes
I would rate this slightly about average. The price was great, relative to competitors. We use this to cool a bedroom, and it does a good job of taking the edge off the heat. Definitely cools it down enough to sleep. I like it like an ice box, so I may be asking too much. But it does the job. My chief criticism is that it is too loud. Seemed quiet enough in the store, but when trying to sleep, it is just a bit too loud. I've slept with the hum of AC's before -- and actually, that can help me sleep. But the noise of this one is above a hum. In fairness, it my bed were further away from the unit, maybe it would be quieter. Otherwise, no complaints. It's pretty easy to set up. I wish the air vent tube fit better, but you can get it in there. It's convenient that we don't have to empty the water. We do it once a week, but it is so little volume, it's prob not even necessary.

Easy out of the box

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a gift for my sister, specifically for her 11 year old son. They had this set up themselves, out of the box, within minutes. It's perfect for his school work, and he is loving it.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because i have the same computer, and sometimes it gets bogged down, and I can't figure out why.

Well, not much to it. Either it works or it doesn't. The installer used this, do I didn't lay a hand on it, but seemed to work fine and dishwasher works just fine.

by and large, very happy
on October 21, 2015
Posted by: teaman99
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I spent a LOT of time trying to find the right dishwasher. Seemingly, everyone had a problem or complain (based upon reviews). I ultimately pulled the trigger on this one, based upon the brand, and Consumer Reports reviews.
By and large I'm very happy with this machine. I had been worried (and read complaints) that it doesn't get the dishes dry, but if you use Jet Dry. they turn out fine. Sometimes I'll open the door after the cycle is done and let it cool, other times I'll run it overnight. But overall, they come out pretty dry with the jet dry. No complaints there.
The machine is indeed very quiet, as I'm sure most other reviews will attest. As for the another common complaint -- a "plastic smell" -- it may be there SLIGHTLY, but not in any way that would bother me. You'd have to look for it. So technically, there may be a slight plastic smell, but nothing to be concerned about at all.
My one slight knock is minor, in that the tines don't seem the best for lining up my dishes (I used a lot of bowls). And maybe the inside is smaller than other dishwashers, but we are only a couple, so it is big enough for us. Likewise, the tines are easy enough to make work. And I do love the utensil rack.
All in all, I am very happy with this purchase. As long as it holds, up, I recommend it.

easy hookup
on July 29, 2015
Posted by: teaman99
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace the modem I was renting from Time Warner. Setting this up was pretty seamless. Hooked up easy, and then I called TWC and they were able to do what they needed on their end. The only minor thing is that it took a few minutes for the wifi to work properly. No big deal, but don't be alarmed if it doesn't connect to your devices instantaneously the first time you hook it up. But since then, has been working flawlessly. Doesn't seem to be any faster than my old modem, but I think that's because TWC is restricting the flow. If I paid for fast speed, presumably it would be fast.

Great for mirroring iphone/ipad onto your tv

Posted by: teaman99

I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
I primarily bought this so that I could mirror my iphone/ipad on my tv screen (i.e. send photos to the TV, show youtube videos, etc.). It does that seamlessly, easily and wonderfully. It also has some other apps I use, such as HBOGO, which also works great. I haven't tried the Netflix app, as I get that on my DVD player. But I plan to use the vimeo app, as well as others. But, primarily I use it for mirroring onto my TV from my iphone, and for HBOGo. Very happy with the way both of those functions work.

Will this mirror an iPad screen using Bluetooth or with an hdmi cord

I think it will with an HDMI cord, but you'll need to buy an adapter to connect the iPad to HDMI (and it's prob $50).
