Smart with good picture
For the price, a really good projector with Smart TV features. I mounted the projector on the ceiling with the Sunne PRO300S Universal Ceiling Mount and project the image onto a 100" Elite Screens Saker Tab Tension CineGrey 5D screen. Mounting it to the ceiling is not easy and takes patience as it needs to be placed quite accurately (no zoom function unfortunately). To reach 100" it has to be 377mm away from the screen.
A clear advantage of this short-distance dance projector is that not all cables have to be pulled into the middle of the living room, as is the case with conventional projectors.
Another advantage is that there is no dazzling or disturbing light source for the viewer.
As soon as the room is dark, the small LG projector shows what it can do. I am really enthusiastic about the super picture quality. Of course, 1000 lumens are not exactly a lot, but even during the day it is still just enough to watch TV. But if you want to enjoy a good movie, you have to wait until it's dark or if possible darken the room. So all in all really recommendable.Pro
- Very compact design
- Smart TV functions
- LED technology
- Relatively quiet in power saving mode
- Magic Remote control
- Short installation distance
- No blinding light source
- Picture quality
Contra
- Unfortunately no zoom option

The device went back immediately the next morning
1000 lm are simply too little, if even a little light is still present in the environment. Some reviews on the Internet spoke of a bright projector.
In addition, there is also the technology of short distance projectors, which leads to the fact that due to the law of reflection (angle of incidence = angle of reflection) only a reasonably bright image is visible when you stand in front of the screen, which is not the idea of a cozy movie night.
In addition, then came the information by Digitec when triggering the return that only max 90% will be refunded. For 15 minutes of use, this is simply too much loss of value! Pure disappointment...
Lessons Learned and Tip: So if in the future there is a risk that a device can not meet expectations, better look elsewhere!Very good device. Small, rel. quiet, LED lamp.
Amazing part. Small disadvantage: Must be positioned at the correct distance from the screen to get the desired image size. I.e. has no zoom function.

Good projector for home cinema
Requires a super smooth screen (preferably one with fixed frames). The room must be dark, otherwise you can not see much. The projector is quite loud, but does not interfere with watching TV. For a diagonal of 3 meters, the project must be about 80 cm from the wall.
Pro
- LED, only ready in 10 seconds
- Diagonal of 3 meters and still a good picture quality
- Suitable for movies
Contra
- Room must be dark
- Waves at the screen disturb enormously
- Unsuitable for shooter games (latency is too high, even in game mode)

Works as expected and for me a price worth paying for easier placement
I mainly purchased this to avoid mounting a "regular" projector to the ceiling. Everything works as expected. The projection surface can be slightly tricky since it shouldn't have much structure. My walls don't work well for that reason which is why I mounted a large MDF sheet painted with regular wall paint to said wall.
Due to the extreme angle of incidence at the top of the image any kind of waviness of the projection surface will translate into corresponding waves in the image which can be noticeable at straight edges (such as the top of the screen). It is less of an issue while actually watching a movies which is why I haven't "fixed" my screen yet (which follows a slight curve in the wall <1cm).
I don't use many of the builtin features like speakers or apps (because I totally need yet another way to watch youtube videos other than on my bluray player, streaming media player, receiver...) so I won't comment on those.
One issue i didn't consider when buying this is that placing a center channel speaker relative to the projector is tricky. Putting it directly below the image is not possible since the speaker will cast a shadow on the image. So I had to compromise and ended up with the projector essentially standing on the speaker.
The image looks good to my eye and is surprisingly uncritical to focus. Slight movements of the projector, which have drastic effects on the image size due to the extreme projection angle rarely require refocusing. It requires a slightly darkened room as 1000 ANSI are not enough for daylight viewing.Pro
- relatively easy placement
- no worrying about "using up the bulb"
- fast on/off without extended bulb heating/cooling
Contra
- requires a very flat unstructured projection surface
- placing other objects such as speakers around it can be tricky

So far the best beamer I've ever had.
The beamer is really top, am absolutely satisfied with it!
I recommend every buyer to clarify really well whether the projection surface is really flat enough and otherwise directly order a screen with.
Because if there are unevenness, the image will be bad due to the steep projection and the subsequent shadow cast.
Detailed description follows...Pro
- Best solution for rooms with a sloping roof
Contra
- Cooler a bit loud but with a good sound system no problem
- On rough projection background the picture has a bad quality
