LG PF50KA review
LG PF50KA : a Mini-Projector for Huge Screens
Although this projector has the name and logo of LG, it also has excellent features and benefits. The LG PF50KA offers intriguing features, built-in applications, 1080 resolution, an integrated battery, and a digital TV tuner.
Setup
The PF50KA is an LED-based projector that generates 600 ANSI lumens, in contrast to other models on the market. The keystone and focus settings must be adjusted before turning the device on. Once the projector has been opened from its box, please set it up in the appropriate spot in your home or workplace before turning it on.
The projector offers three brightness levels: maximum, minimum, and average. The manual says the projector can last up to 2.5 hours when seeing a movie. But, if you set it to the lowest energy setting, you can get an extra 45 minutes; with the maximum energy setting, you can get 1.5 hours extra.
The LG Projector PF50KA can go from a 25-inch screen to a hundred-edge screen. However, it also works from about a 13-inch screen for a small space, but you must move the projector to fit. To use the digital TV tuner, connect the antenna to the projector and tune it to your favorite station. It also sports a tripod stand in the box, which you can fasten to the button of the projector using the screw.
Features
The pixel rendered on the LG PF50KA full HD led smart home projector stores spreads over a bigger area than your regular TV set. The mini-projector has an output of 1920x1080 resolutions, translating to 2.1 million pixels with greater detail. Using this projector, you can watch your favorite Netflix series on an 80-inch screen or larger.
The mini-projector displays accurate tones and vibrant colors while also having a dynamic contrast ratio of 100,000:1. With the projector, you can wirelessly mirror your screen and use integrated smart applications to improve your viewing experience. The projector uses LG's WebOS operating system, giving you access to fantastic features and well-known apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu.
Design
Weighing just 2.1 pounds, the LG Cinebeam PF50KA is a portable projector. It has a dimension of 6.7” x 1.9” x 6.7”, an in-built battery lasting up to 2.5 hours, and 65 Watts of power usage. Given the size of the projector, it houses a small speaker that produces decent sound. But, you want to connect your Bluetooth speaker, home theater, or the headphone jack to send audio sound to an external.
At the rear of the projector, there are several unique connectivity choices. There is the Ethernet connector for connection to the internet, two HDMI inputs, one of which supports an Audio Return Channel (ARC), and a USB-C and A port on the far left. When using the LG PF50KA outside, the USB-C connector allows you to charge the device, while the USB-A port lets you play films from a flash drive.
Conclusion
The biggest reason we recommend the product in this LG PF50KA review is its long lamp life — 30,000 hours. Imagine you use this mini-projector 20 hours a week; it could last up to 28.8 years. The projector is very cheap to maintain as you won’t need to buy or replace the bulbs regularly like another model. It comes with a 1-year warranty.
The projector is quite efficient, with a maximum of 65 Watts of power usage; you will save money in the long term as other projectors require between 300-400 Watts. The inbuilt 2.5 hours battery is an added advantage, as well as the additional features available to you.
