The LG Minibeam LED Projector is a nice-looking, lightweight entertainment projector that lets you connect to a wide range of devices. It even has a TV tuner built in so you can hook it up to a set-top box or an antenna. The quality of the video is one of the best we’ve seen on an LED projector, and the quality of the data images is also above average.
The PH550 is a DLP model with an LED light source that is rated to last for 30,000 hours. This means that it should last as long as the projector does. It has a native resolution of 720p (1,280 by 720) and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a brightness rating of 550 lumens, which is typical for palmtop projectors but lower than the LG Compact Pebble Design Smart Minibeam Projector PW800’s rating of 800 lumens.

Where to get LG PH510P Portable CineBeam Projector?
The PH550 is a small and light projector that measures 1.7 by 6.9 by 4.3 inches (HWD) and weighs only 1.4 pounds. It’s also pretty, with a shiny white case with rounded corners and a copper-colored ring around the lens. On the top, right behind the lens, there is a focus lever that makes it easy to get the projector in focus. It doesn’t have a zoom, though. On top is also a four-way controller with a button in the middle. When you press the button, the projector turns on, but only if you have turned the On/Off switch in the back on first.
There are also a lot of ports in the back. The single HDMI port also works with MHL, which lets you stream video from a smartphone or tablet that supports MHL. There is a USB Type-A port where you can plug in a USB thumb drive with photos, videos, or music files on it. With the included adapter cable and AV-in jack, you can connect to a DVD player or other source that uses composite audio and video. A plug for headphones or powered speakers can go into an audio-out jack. There is also a slot for a Kensington lock and a VGA port for connecting to a computer.
