LG PF1500 Full HD LED Projector
« on: Aug 05, 2015 at 11:35 AM »
Any other users of this PJ? let's volt-in for tips and tricks!

This is my first pj purchase, and I am very happy with the size, weight, color, temperature, and almost lack of noise (when in use).. and it's a full HD 1080P LED projector that's less than 1k$!

Any thoughts would be appreciated as I am planning to get a second one once I am able to.

Sir where do you acquired this abroad or locally? And if it's local, how much and from what store do you bought this? Thanks! ;D

hi sir, my unit is from US amazon unfortunately and it's SRP plus tax.  I've heard the Korean version has 3D enabled though so that's one of the reasons why I started this thread - baka sakaling may nakapag purchase from korea or may distro na korean units yung dala.  If wala, bibili na lang ulit ako from US once i get back there around q4

Wow...

I will consider this projector instead of buying 65inch led tv for a small room dedicated build.
Sana magkaroon ng enhanced local version...

Pasensya na mga brader, nabusy lang the past few days kaya di ako nakasagot. Sure will post pics. Di ko pa naoorder yung screen para sa house so temporarily nasa condo muna at partida na white roll up blinds lang gamit nya :D 

before the pics, here's my not-so-technical-review, this is my first real pj so pasensya na. also, actually, the review in projector central is pretty spot on and i can only very much agree with it:

A really good buy i must say and yes, better value for money than a 65" tv unless sobrang liwanag ng room - it is still a 1400 lumen LED projector so safe to say around 1200 siguro talga ang effective lumens. For a dedicated HT that's not so big, I think this will rock.  Color is vibrant after a few tweaks here and there - i did turn off the sport mode - I use plasma tv because aside from the color depth, I hate the tele-novela look in common LED tv's

the size and weight? it is as big as a loaf of bread - hindi yung malaking/mahabang loaf ng gardenia ha, yung maliit lang. And it is really light at 3 lbs. I tested mounting it using CCTV mount - kayang kaya. Pero since wala pa screen sa bahay, for now nakapatong lang.

it has built-in speaker - I'm also into speakers so the sound is meh to me - but that's to be expected anyway. 

connectivity naman, 2 hdmi is enough for my purpose - there's smart tv platform that i dont really care about.  There's optical out and 3.5mm jack outs for audio. 

the remote is kind of fun though not the best. it acts like a mouse on the screen, using motion, accelerometer or gyro - not sure.

picture quality is really good - but don't expect high end like pitch black level - it's not noticeable for me however so I'm happy.

there's a couple of non-deal breaker cons aside from the expected low lumen throughput sa tingin ko, the max 1.1 zoom may not work for some room setup - and walang lens offset - so kelngan mo galawin mismo yung height if ever na may allowance ka from top ng screen. my living room setup will be about 110 inches and i have flexiblity sa height placement, so ok lang ako. This pj can go as wide as 120 inches with enough distance - so yeah, pwedeng pwede sa dedicated HT.

final verdict ko? well i am recommending it right? and for the price, if you can get hold of one even at SRP - go get it! if yung korean version na may 3D pa or discounted pa na price, don't walk, run out and buy one if you are in the market anyway for a low maintenance entry-mid level pj!

boss LouPah, binitbit ko sya galing US eh, so i just paid for the price in Amazon plus tax.  I am really interested however dun sa korean version dahil may 3D capability daw yun.  Wala lang talga akong kaclose from korea.. baka meron kayong kakilala dun? :D

Sorry boss wala eh, akala ko dito mo binili sa Pinas.
I am also interested with this model so tried to order thru Amazon but no luck,  the "item can't be shipped to your selected address" huhuhu...
Lazada Philippines offered Lg projectors but  not this particular model, the other 1080p pj with 1000 lumens only, the bigger & older one at  ₱ 77,735.00.
Thanks for the reply sir!
