First time watching one of your videos - great review! Very informative. Loved the demos of the videos, the ALR screen comparison and the speaker quality analysis. Keep it up!
I was hesitated at first because of low ansi lumens but all of negative thoughts swept away as soon as turned on, it’s more like over 1000 ansi lumens and seriously breathtaking picture quality like OLED, Just INCREDIBLE!!
Mira tengo un lg pf50ka y tiene 600 ansi y se ve bien pero en Internet lo an testado en muchos sitios y sale 350 ansi lumenes y deja que deseas eso quiere de ir que si fuera 600 o 500ansi lumenes exactos en la medida seria muy potente ya que yo lo uso en 100 pulgadas y se ve bien hasta lo e probado a 120 pulgadas y se ve bien. Ahora tengo de 1400 ansi lumenes lg igual 1080p nativo y la diferencia es enorme tanto así que su modo eco se ve más brillos que el que tenía antes y eso que se ven nítidos y de buen color
@@NethirOsman yes still amazing picture, even full HD on Netflix looks surreal, No Bluetooth sound latency whatsoever, It is easy to carry around, the weight is only 1.5kg👍
No one expects a 500 ansi lumen mini projector perform well during daytime. It is like buying a motorcycle and saying this is worthless because it cannot carry three persons.

I just bought one of these and I'm pretty blown away with it. My intention being used in the evenings in my bedroom which has curtains and can be dark all day anyway. Wow the picture is stunning. Black levels are excellent too after some calibration. I tried it with some games with my RTX 4080 pc and it's also great and the input lag is very manageable. Probably FPS gaming is not ideal but I tried Diablo 4 and Callisto Protocol and they both play and look stunning. The remote is absolute drek. Should be thrown in the trash, but with the ThinQ app on the phone it will emulate the remote like a charm and probably a bit faster than using a remote anyway. Not an excuse though as I have no idea what LG was thinking with that remote. Also with sound I am outputting to speakers via BT so I just avoid using the inbuilt ones. I don't actually understand why people get excited by speakers built into a projector. Modestly priced stereo speakers with correct placement at the front of the viewing space will always sound better. I took your review and a few others and just went for it but I can safely recommend this for those who can use it in a darker room and wants excellent picture quality.
i just ordered it, my friend got one and i tried it out it ticks all the boxes, easy to carry and set up, pack it in a bag for trips, i like watching movies in a dark room and no projector will give me the sound i want anyway so i have a bose portable. its time to say gbye to my nebula
Thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience! Overall I'm still happy with this, especially listening to my content using my airpods at night, it's such a great projector. Hopefully the price comes down to around 800 over time though
@@TrendingReviewshow does this compare to the dangbei atom in terms of image pixellization in a dark room though? Does a brighter 1080p look clearer than a dimmer 4k projector?
@@choc3732 I just project onto a wall. It's easier to do that vs a screen as you don't have to worry about the image bleeding off the side or needing the projector to be dead inline for that to work. I have a dedicated full size projector out in the lounge which works better for that.
My wife bought me one for my birthday (lucky man) - the fan is loud and the built-in speaker is terrible so some kind of sound bar or headphones are a must - but the image is great for the tiny size - it does need a dark-ish room but it's a feat of miniaturisation. I love mine.
loud as in what? i've got the "Samsung The Freestyle" and it's "loud" with its fans like a graphics card in a desktop computer running full speed i'd say.
I dont understand why people want to use projectors during daytime... that's what tvs are for. And a room with blackout curtains solves this during the day... I have a Samsung Lifestyle Projector. It's awesome at night with some lights on in my office. The battery and portability are great too. If only it allow USB play back. It could be brighter. It could have a slightly quieter fan. But compared to cheap projectors, it blows them away. This LG could be the perfect upgrade. Can use the same USB battery (not sure how long it would last? 2 - 3 hours probably) Even better and brighter image. I currently eARC the Samsung bacl to an LG 5.0 Soundbar and improves the audio heaps. I could Bluetooth to my Samsung Q990B for proper surround (although it might just downsample to stereo and need to fake it). Cable probably better. The little projectors are a niche rather than everyday item. Something to take outside when having people over or by the pool. I dont think I'd want to move a Short Throw projector around too much. Like the Samsung, it would be worth waiting for a while and a sale price. :)
Thank you for your test. This kind of video helps a lot, you did a very good test. Can we use it to watch movies with Bluetooth headphones without any latency? Do you necessarily have to use LG headphones to avoid latency or is it easily compatible with other brands of headphones and headsets?
Hi - thanks for the comment! I used it with my Airpods and there wasn't any noticeable latency - so I would say that you should be absolutely fine to use it with any brand headphoones.
Bought this beginning December and was a little reticent but had a deal from lg with a speaker - am surprised how good it is and even with some ambient light - curtains closed - it’s a pretty good and bright screen - sound is impressive through a Bluetooth speaker - and the remote doesn’t need to be pointed at the back of the projector- I point it at the screen and it works - am happy with purchase
I agree - this has been one of my all time favourite projectors to own overall - I used to use it with Bluetooth headphones most of the time to compensate for the low audio power.
i bought one - image is outstanding for the size and i do have many portable projectors. Of course with 500 ansi you don't expect to be super bright in daylight. i bought it along the speaker the give as a gift so audio with an external speaker is ideal. agreed with the remote - not sure if there is an option to purchase a different remote that can work from all sides. Besides the latter i am blown with the image and colors and it's tiny size.
Great review, I really like this projector. I actually don't mind the remote being made of plastic, rather don't get why it only has IR in 2024, when my Philips Picopix from 2020 already has BT. I would say that it would be a great price value if it cost between 600-800€. With the current price tag around 950€ (in Germany), it is just too expensive.
Hola: tengo este proyector y me sorprende su calidad, pero también tengo que decir algo que nadie comenta, y es que se calienta demasiado que casi no puedes tocar la zona superior del proyector. A Usted, a su proyector, le pasa lo mismo? o quizás al mío no le funcione bien el ventilador? Gracias.
Great 4k picture up to 80-90". Trying to go over 100" seems to confuse the auto keystone and focus and it gets fuzzy. Going in to 'lnstallation wizard' and tweaking keystone and focus manually works well but its not the 'anytime, anywhere' of the promo. Bluetooth connection to sound system or wireless headset is essential. Remote is very poor and requires you to point it right at the projector. At this price you should have the backlit 'magic remote' with this . Great 2nd projector for tv bingeing on Netflix but NOT for movies ! Would wait for it to come down to about £7-800.
How would you rate it price-to-performance if you were to get it for half the price? Still the cons don't make it a good buy? Let's say around 550€? Thanks
What is that car backview mirror like device on the wall just right side of the projector screen?, the device has charger attached it seems. Thanks in advance
I wonder about the durability when traveling with this in a carry on luggage. It looks durable enough but you never know, and it's a painful thing to find out.
No budget? Then this is a great portable projector tbh, especially if you're going to use it mainly at night time. Dangbei Atom is also another great choice.
£1300! 😮 I've ordered one at £739, even thats costly. Still, think its probably better than my Nebula capsule currently using, maybe not speaker. Quite a nice review though, enjoyed watching. Hows any Rainbow Effect or any obvious laser speckle? Thats not a bad pic in quite bright conditions.
I have a problem when i connect my mac with hdmi to usb c cable (that supports 4k)!! The video and audio i play stutters every few seconds!! Any solution?
I'm in love with the form factor. This projector is very good for its size and integrated speakers are not necessary for me. I'm thinking about getting this one, or should I get the XGIMI Halo+? Maximum distance to the wall: 3.5m. Maximum diagonal projection area: 126". For use only in darkness. Thank you!
This is the review I was looking for the LG Cinebeam Q! I wish it had a compatible tripod/stand to point up to the ceiling. The bluetooth sound out feature can apparently connect to two devices simultaneously e.g. two pairs of airpods. Could you please test and confirm?
I can confirm I connected 2 headphones simultaneously and both are giving sound output! I used my Airpods Pro and Senheisser headphones together. Hope that helps!
Many projectors don’t compete very well with tvs during daytime. This is so small and with the stated lumens I don’t know why this reviewer is pretending it’s a hot take news flash that it’s not bright enough for daytime rooms. It never stated or hinted that it could perform in lit rooms.
