Worked great for 1 year then started overheating
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: KennethAnderson
from Los Alamos, NM, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked great for 1 year then started overheating more and more, requiring regular cleaning and ever larger number of external fans operating in ever colder environments just to keep it running long enough for a movie.
I honestly think the system is producing a progressively crazy amount of heat. I'd try to replace the bulb but it is an LED proejctor
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

700 lumens is nice, but will like to see better lumens on next model ( please make one ASAP ).

Advice to LG:
Please make Firmware update with this functions :
Move picture up/down left/right, controlled by software.
Add other devices to BlueTooth, not just LG magic remote, like speakers, keyboard and mouse, cellphones etc. ( this is ok if LG magic remote need to be disconnected when using other devices ).
Play video files from last point.
Adjust audio delay ( sync audio ) for all video/audio formats.
Add more Audio clearing filters.
Add more aspect ratio configuration options, more zoom, etc...
Add video configuration pictures for image correction, like colors/lines picutre for right projector setup ( right now I have to load it from USB ).

Wonderful Projector at a Great Price
on November 29, 2013
Posted by: SSI
from SSI, GA
This was a gift, so I don't know where the person bought it from. However, It works great. The main reason I was attracted to this projector is the built in TV Tuner, and it works great. Picture is clear and bright with my set up even during the day.
Pros:
*Clear Picture
*TV Tuner (best thing in my book)
*Wifi and Widi - I tried the Widi. It may work for a presentation but not for Videos, Games, DVD... way too big of a lag.
*Small and Quiet. Mine is ceiling mounted and very quiet in economy mode. In the brightest setting the fan can be noticeable during quiet parts of a what I am watching.
*LED Lamp. Instant on and off, no waiting to cool down to turn off.
*Both remotes work great. I like the on screen mouse with magic remote, easy for my kids to use.

Cons:
*Fixed lens. I knew looking into this it was a fixed lens. However, the screen size to distance ration that is printed in the manual is slightly off. One annoyning thing is it's printed in mm instead of inches or feet. No big deal to convert units just a hassle. The ratio is (if I remember correctly) something like 12" of screen size for every foot of distance between project and screen. Well, it's more like 11" per foot. So, the lesson I learned is don't go drilling holes for the ceiling mount until you physically check the screen size and location first!!! You will be alot happier that way and less headache.
*Not really a con, but learn from me. The aspect ratio is 16x10 NOT 16x9, So again please learn from me and order a the proper ratio for your screen. It makes a big difference especially when your ceiling mount a projector like I did and it doesn't quite match your screen.

Bright sharp picture in a reasonable dim room
on October 31, 2013
Posted by: FamilyMan
from New Jersey, USA
Great for personal and business use - Sharp picture with WXGA resolution.
Excellent 'Smart TV' features - I watch YouTube using the built in app without the need to connect my computer to the projector.
LED life of 30,000 hours without any loss of brightness over time or lamp replacement is excellent.
Supports 110v to 220v which is excellent as I travel a lot.
Speakers are loud and clear.
The Digital Antenna is a bonus - excellent signal pick up and sharp picture.
Lastly, 3D capability is the icing on the cake.

Small unit but has about all features
on January 30, 2014
Posted by: engin678
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
I read all reviews about this projector before I ordered. It has the most feature offered than other products on the market. I am hoping that LG will offer the firmware update soon which will include more features like bluetooth function, youtube viewer, netflix, etc. I hve not tried ceiling mount yet, and not sure it works or not. Also, one more HDMI port would be better.
Pros: Performance, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the features on the unit and use most of them. I was disappointed amazon instant video would not work on this unit, I think the software could be updated to allow more internet content to be played.
Pros: easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!
