Better than expected!
on January 17, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
I have been looking at projectors for quite awhile before finding this one.I did not have a limited budget but did want a smaller,more portable unit.
Setting up was easy and within ten minutes I was projecting a 100 inch picture on a blank wall.
Even with a light on ,I find the picture more than acceptable.The built in tuner works well and the magic remote is great.Not having to change the lamp was a real selling point for me.For the price,this projectors features and quality make it an excellent choice.

Failed in 6 months, but LG repaired

For the price, this projector presents a good value. It's only 720p, though LG now makes a 1080p LED model. Mine failed in under 6 months. LG repaired it and delivered back to me within 2 weeks. Picture quality meets expectations, and I've actually projected beyond specs to 125" with good quality.
Pros: value
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PA75U - The next generation of Projectors
on February 1, 2014
Posted by: romicat
from whittier, ca, usa
PA75U is probably ahead of its time.I have owned projectors namely, OPTOMA HD66, ACER H5360 and EPSON 3010 lcd projector. The HD66 nad H5360 in my opinion are lemons. Both did not last 2 years because of dead white pixels that look like cancer (multiplied fast). Aside from the fact that the bulbs of these so called DLP projectors only last 3000 compared to 30000 for PA75U, both as I've said lasted less than two years. While the specs of PA75U says it is only 700 lumens compared to 2500 FOR optoma and 2200 for H5360 the picture quality is just about the same and perhaps the PA75U slightly better. The 30000 hours is the decision point and hopefully PA75U will last at least 5 years. Technology advances and this might be obsolete after 3 years but at least consumers myself included are grateful to manufacturers that make their products and give the consumers more than their money's worth. I cannot say about HD66 and H5360. I hope LG continues to improve this product by increasing the lumens and make it 1080p so everyone can use this even in a very bright setting (living room with a lot of windows open and therefore very bright). The projector however is perfect for bedrooms with minimal lighting and the picture quality is almost comparable to those 1080p projectors. I am pleased with this product and again hopefully last more than 3 years at the very least. Salute!

Over All Projecter is Great except LG Smart TV
on January 16, 2014

from Greenville, SC, USA
As a Projector it is really a master piece. Easy setup, ultimate LED picture quality. Love watching movie/sports on this tiny product.
Improvement required : Wireless doesn't seems to work well, it hangs or buffers when i play youtube.
No access to All the LG Apps, Netflix, Hulu etc. I am using a Blueray/Media player separately. So Smart TV is real waste for me.

3) Ambient light sensor
4) Manual V & H image size correction
5) Separate USB to interface standard keyboard and mouse.
6) Ability to install android apps.
7) LAN port
8) Ability to change screen resolution
9) Port or adapter to read SD memory cards

Great performance, feature rich
on April 27, 2013

I've only had my PA75U LED projector for a day, but I've spent about 10 hours getting to know what it's capable of. My prev projector was one of the 500 lumen LED clones, and that served me well for a year and a half, but this new LG model is considerably better in picture quality, and far ahead in features.
The built in wi fi networking and smart apps means you can make use of it many times without having a computer plugged into it. For example You Tube, FaceBook and web browsing can be done with the projectors internal features.
I've had it throwing a 100 inch image on an ivory painted wall in a semi darkened room, and the picture is crystal clear and bright with vivid colors.
The "magic" remote, one of the two that come with the projector, is very handy. It's motion sensitive and puts a mouse type curser within the projected image that allows you to click on items to select them. It makes setup and changing operating settings very easy and intuitive.
The picture adjustment options are extensive. I haven't explored them all yet, the pre set ones of standard, vivid, cinema, game, etc, do a fine job on their own. You do have the option of developing your own custom picture settings though.
I've run text based power points and watched blu ray movies, and the image focus has been spot on in all cases.
The internal speakers, there are two of them on opposite sides of the projector case, do an adequate job for uses in small venues. Certainly they sound quite a bit better than the single speaker in my prev LED clone projector. And they provide stereo where the source is stereo as well.
Fan noise is unobtrusive. All in all, the only nit I have to pick, and it's a pretty minor one, is that I haven't been able to get the tether for the lens cap hooked to the body of the projector. The hook it attaches to is tiny, and my fumble fingers haven't been able to thread it through, down, and then sideways to the other side. Eventually I'll get it hooked in.
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, Quality

Ideal projector!
on June 13, 2013
Posted by: MemphisGuy
from Memphis, TN, USA
This projector is perfect for my home! Among its many excellent features is the LED with a very long life. This is my first projector, and I found it easy to setup and use.
The picture quality is outstanding. My room is only 15 feet wide, and my HD DirecTV receiver gives HD a new meaning. The picture is crisp and the colors are rich. I love soccer, and the recordings of major games move me into the action at a new level. The players are right there and seem to be near life size!!
My friends are amazed by this projector, and two are saving up to buy one. LG has made a projector that is terrific and at a very reasonable price.
Thank you, LG!
