The alternative is to connect a streaming stick, which works with some caveats. Overall it's not bad and I liked it better overall than the (slightly cheaper, waaaay cuter) BenQ GV1, but in both cases my advice is to spend a little more for a much better projector. So unless SOE drives you bonkers, it's probably fine. There's not a lot of light here, though. Check out some other options in our Best Projectors for 2020 guide. You can follow his travels at BaldNomad.com. Contrast ratio measures roughly the same across all three, but again, because the Anker is so much brighter, it's more watchable. It's a highly portable projector, but you'd need to be very careful to be able to get a full movie out of the battery. Some people don't mind this processing, some even like it, but if you're like me and hate it, this is nearly a deal-breaker. There's a built-in USB port so you can power the stick using the LG's internal battery and remain wireless, but it's only rated at 0.5-amp -- less than most streaming sticks ask for. He spends most of the year as a digital nomad, living and working while traveling around the world. The LG PH30N is a tiny, somewhat weird, portable projector. I imagine this has to do with greater pixel density for the same size image. The internal speaker isn't very loud, which makes sense as it's only rated for 1 watt. Technically it's a little more than twice as bright, but that's enough to subjectively seem a lot brighter. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus I plugged in warned of low power but loaded eventually and worked fine. The lack of internal apps is surprising. That's quite dim, and in its most extreme battery-saving mode, it's less than half that bright. The Anker, on the other hand, is much brighter. There are better-looking options for similar money if you ditch the battery. 2022 CNET, a Red Ventures company. It doesn't perform well enough to outshine the better portable projectors like the Anker Nebular Mars II Pro or ViewSonic M2, nor is it as easy to use. There's no lens shift or zoom. This isn't to say the PH30N is bright -- far from it. He is NIST and ISF trained, and has a degree in Television/Radio from Ithaca College. Instead, you've got a sort of "BYOStreaming" solution that ends up being oddly frustrating for something that's designed to be so portable. It's more than twice as bright as the Anker, can easily fill a 100-inch screen, and if you don't mind slightly worse color accuracy, can be exceptionally bright. Searching through LG's Android apps, the LG TV app seems to support screen sharing, but wasn't able to find the projector. That's a point in the LG's favor for people who want to take the time to adjust it (here's how). It's functional, let's call it that. Rated at 250 lumens, I measured 143 once it was set to produce a reasonable color temperature. There's just more "black" in the GV1's image due to the greater distance between its pixels. Though again, for the price and size, it's not terrible. After I adjusted the PH30N's contrast and brightness however, it ended up looking like it had a better contrast ratio than the Anker or GV1, which lack even those basic controls. A case could be made for a gaming setup with the PH30N and any random wall. I was able to get my laptop's screen mirrored, but not my Pixel 4. Despite measuring the same, visually the LG seems brighter than the GV1. If you do plug it in, you've kind of eliminated the whole point of a battery-powered projector. The BenQ GV1, for example, is close in price and actually larger, but only 480p. You could hold it in your hand and nearly put it in your pocket. The input lag is 47.1ms, which isn't great but probably fine for most nonhardcore gamers. The miniature portable PJ could almost fit in your pocket, but bigger projectors perform better. His bestselling novel, Undersea, and its sequel, Undersea Atrophia, are available in paperback and as an ebook on Amazon. Increase the brightness and connect a streaming stick running off the USB and you're unlikely to get a full movie out of it. Colors are all a little off from accurate, but they're still closer than many more-expensive projectors I've tested. You'd think LG would have a billion leftover "smart TV" chips sitting in a container somewhere they could have used. I connected the Anker and the LG to a Monoprice 1x4 distribution amplifier and viewed all on a 102-inch 1.0-gain screen. So everything looks a bit too smooth; movies look a bit too much like video. Color and color temperature are not bad, for the price. I mention this for anyone looking for a projector for occasional movie nights that doesn't need something battery powered. There's even an internal battery. There is one other comparison worth mentioning: the Optoma HD146X. Reds, especially, look rather electric crimson. Geoffrey Morrison is a writer/photographer for CNET, Forbes, and The New York Times. The internal battery is rated by LG for 2 hours, though this is in its dimmest mode. A mild soap opera effect is present, and as far as I can tell, you can't turn it off. They're not quite as "off" as the Anker, but not as close as the BenQ's. You should be able to mirror your laptop or smartphone screen via the projector, but this too proved difficult. But beyond that, the LG PH30N struggles to find a suitable niche. The image is fairly cool (blue), even in the Warm setting. He also the Editor-at-large for The Wirecutter. There's also Bluetooth, and conveniently there's an AV Sync adjustment to help with lip-sync issues. The PH30N ends up being a rather odd product that's tough for me to wholeheartedly recommend. I say nearly because, well, it's a projector for under $400, and I doubt most people will be doing significant critical viewing with it. That tiny size lets you create images in places where other projectors don't fit -- a second "screen" on your desk, a TV show on the ceiling, YouTube recipe videos in the kitchen. What it doesn't have, unlike some portable PJ competitors, is internal apps. What is an otherwise watchable image, for the price, is letdown in one notable way: motion smoothing. The image was about the size of my monitor, and fairly bright. The power supply is nearly half the size of the projector itself, and comes with a thick cable, so together they end up being surprisingly bulky for something that's supposed to be portable. It's hard to get content on it, and connecting a streaming stick drains the battery even faster. Lamp life (Normal mode): Up to 30,000 hrs, Audio input and output: 3.5mm output (headphones). Instead, you need to connect a streaming stick or run HDMI from somewhere. He has written for Sound&Vision magazine, Home Theater magazine, and was the Editor in Chief of Home Entertainment magazine. Running Netflix proved to be a great distraction and slowed down the review process considerably, but I could imagine a situation where a setup like this, where the PH30N's tiny size lets it fit in someplace a larger projector couldn't, to create a small but watchable image, perhaps even functioning as a secondary computer screen. What this means in practice is that the entire image looks a touch artificial, but not egregiously. LG's support page says LG phones are supported, and other phones via an app -- but the link no longer works. Even a cheap traditional projector would be able to put out 10 times that amount of light. If your budget has a hard cap or you just want something really small, however, you could definitely do worse than the PH30N. A manual focus lever works well enough. Spending a bit more, on the Mars II Pro for example, gets you a much brighter image, with built-in apps and much louder speakers. While writing up this review, I did find an odd use for which the LG worked perfectly. Not nearly as big as a 1080p or 4K projector, of course, but given its size and price, 720p is pretty good. It wasn't included in this direct comparison as it's not as "portable" as these, but at $550 it's in the ballpark price-wise. I had it set on the edge of my desk, shining on the wall beside and behind my monitor. There is a headphone output, so you can connect a small speaker or, of course, headphones. All rights reserved. The PH30N is HD, at 1,280x720, so it can create a fairly large image before you start seeing pixels. I tried the same setup with the GV1 but, as detailed in that review, I ran into some problems.
