This review is from: LG HX350T 720p Front Projector - BlackCustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

Length:: 6:59 MinsI am as pleased with this LG HX350T 720p Front Projector - Black as I could possibly be. Video projection has been improving by the proverbial leaps and bounds and this particular one is an example of a type which didn't even exist just a few years ago.It is essentially a PORTABLE giant screen television - its image can be far larger than almost any other television you could buy - and like those 'regular' flat-screen TVs, it has other video and computer capabilities thrown in! (It can even play directly from an external USB hard drive or USB thumb drive.)Its dimensions are amazing: 2.4" height by 6.3" width by 5.3" depth, tiny by any standard (smaller, as I show in the video, than most portable radios). It is packed with many of the necessary cables or adapters most people will need (though it would have been nice had an HDMI cable been included too).It even comes with a very well-padded carrying case which has plenty of room inside for the projector itself, its power supply, the included cleaning cloth, the supplied cables, and any other cables/accessories you may wish to carry about. The case offers plenty of protection against damage.It uses a common video projection technology with a twist: DLP, which is familiar to many people, but, instead of a color wheel, with all its attendant faults (VERY noticeable "rainbow" effects, color fringing, noise, etc.), it uses LED technology, thus offering the best of both worlds: DLP without video artifacts.However I do have to tell you that in certain rare circumstances I have been able to see some very minor "rainbow" color flashes; please note that I am unusually sensitive to such artifacts (my wife cannot see them). This may be due to the sequential nature of LED pulsing. In any case it is far less distracting than that of ANY "regular" color-wheel-equipped DLP projector I have ever seen. I think that many, possibly most, people will not notice any such artifacts at all.As you'll be able to see in the video, the image it produces, even in daylight, is VERY bright indeed. At night, or in a darkened room, it looks even better! You need never worry about brightness - there's all you'll ever need or want, night or day. (The brightness in the video is set to default, 50%.) As a matter of fact, if your image is smaller, you may even want to reduce the brightness.Black and white images look really, really good and color images are truly spectacular. Unlike LCD 'flat-screen' televisions, there is no fall-off in light regardless of your viewing angle. Its native resolution is 1024 x 768 (1.33:1) but it can be adjusted to different ratios, such as 1.78:1 (16:9 - which is what I'm currently using) and some others. (I wish the projector's native resolution were 16:9 instead of 4:3 but this is not necessarily a disadvantage.) As you can also see in the video, illumination is quite uniform across the image, with no bright or dim spots. There is no pixelation that I can see. And the image is sharp - very sharp indeed. The fact that it is a 720p projector makes NO apparent visible difference when viewing 1080i television or 1080p Blu-ray discs, at least to my wife and to me. The large, sharp image is breathtaking.As it uses LED technology, there is no actual projection bulb as with most other projectors. The LEDs, which supply the light output, are rated for 30,000(!) hours - that means that if you ran the projector FOUR HOURS A DAY EVERY SINGLE DAY (with no exceptions), the project would last for over twenty (20) years! And with no maintenance at all (other than an maybe an occasional wiping or dusting the case).Connections? Just about any you could possibly need: composite video, VGA, HDMI, a USB port (for viewing of photos and documents, playing MP3 music files, watching videos), a means for connecting component video (the three-cable type), a 3.5mm (1/8") audio input, a 3.5mm headphone/external speaker jack, AND a coaxial antenna port.Why an antenna (and cable) connection? Because this projector has its own TV tuner built-in! It can handle your cable connection or even an ordinary TV antenna; it will play any type of television signals available in the United States (including the old analog ones of which, at our location, we still can get two channels).It has a 1.0 Watt/Channel stereo amplifier built in and, attached via its headphone jack to amplified computer speakers (or, as I am connecting it, to a stereo amplifier), it produces full, rich sound. (Obviously you can also use headphones.) Its built-in speakers are of little value, however.Unlike most projectors with which I am familiar, this one is very quiet; I have it positioned right next to my reclining chair and I can barely hear it.It turns on instantly; likewise it turns off instantly.Any disadvantages? Yes - one possible one. Its lens is of the fixed focal-length type rather than a zoom lens. That means that to adjust picture size, you must physically move the projector back and forth (just like in the old days with an 8mm home movie projector). Some people may find this to be a disadvantage in certain rooms.But I think that this is a small price to pay. Fixed foc...
