Verdict

The LG PB60G is an ultra-portable 'palm-sized' DLP LED projector featuring a native WXGA resolution of 1280x800 and a brightness of 500 ANSI lumens. Its main characteristics include an exceptionally long-lasting RGB LED lamp with a 30,000-hour lifespan, a 15,000:1 contrast ratio, and weighing only 460g, making it ideal for mobile presentations and home entertainment. Main pros include its quick start-up and shutdown (within 10 seconds), a built-in file viewer for USB playback without a PC, and quiet operation in eco mode (26 dB). However, its primary cons are the lack of an optical zoom, which requires physical movement of the unit to adjust screen size, and occasional fan noise that can reach up to 34 dB in high-brightness mode.
