LG Electronics Ultra Short Throw Smart LED Projector

I must say this projector has surpassed my expectations for it. The quality of the image is definitely better than previous LG LED projectors I've had. The size, the weight, the carry case you can buy separately, all make for a perfect blend of good quality image and portability. I use projectors as I find them extremely easy to carry around if you move a lot. Considering I'm moving to another country soon, I've found that transporting a small projector can be much easier than a large TV. That being said, there are certain trade-offs from ultra short throw (UST) projectors that people should consider when buying. Something that could be improved for this LG projector is Web OS. I've found that other interfaces such as Roku are easier and faster to use. In my case, UST projectors are the ideal scenario as my room is large enough to have a big screen but is somewhat limited on where I can put a regular projector (and mounting on the ceiling is not an option). I've been using the LG PB63U LED Projector, but I have to place it in a some what uncomfortable place to have a good projection and the image quality is not the best either. One additional problem I've encountered with regular projectors is cable handling. I've had to resort to wireless (chromecast) casting to avoid the hassle of running cables across the room. For instance, when I want to play video games with the projector with my computer, I have to run the HDMI cable through the middle of the room which isn't ideal. Same goes for audio. UST projectors definitely fix this issue as everything can sit close together and the cables are no longer a problem. There are three main inconveniences I can think off regarding UST projectors. First, as you probably have observed already, they are usually more expensive than regular projectors. Second, dust is a minor problem as it is easier for them to accumulate dust near the mirror and you want the mirror to be as clean as possible always (covering it up with a cloth should do the trick). Third, given the high angle they are capable of projecting too, they tend to show small defects on the screen you are using. For example, if you are projecting directly into a wall with minor defects, these will become more noticeable when using UST. As an example, I projected into a wall that had a hole filled with paste and was barely noticeable to the eye, but when projecting to it, the upper boundary of the projection was slightly bent downwards due to this defect. The same can be said for pull down screen. Usually these types of screens (at least the cheaper ones like the one I have) tend to bend a little in the sides after some time. This bending will affect the image displayed by UST while its not a real problem for regular projectors. If you plan on buying a UST projector, make sure that the screen you are using is suitable for UST projectors (for example, permanent screens are a much better option than pull downs). Hopefully this helps people who are deciding on what type of projectors they want to buy, but don't get me wrong, this projector is great!
