What customers like about LG PW600G

  • At 0.6 kg it fits into a laptop bag.
  • Uses 65 W while running, a modest draw for a projector.
  • Auto keystone correction saves setup time on a crooked table.
  • Eco mode cuts the noise from 34 dB to 26 dB.
  • Ceiling projection-friendly, so it can be mounted on a ceiling.
  • The 3.5 mm audio jack connects to external speakers.

What customers don't like about LG PW600G

  • 600 ANSI lumens is dim with the lights on.
  • The largest image of 100 inch is small for a large wall.
  • The 2 W audio output is faint for films.
  • Manual focus means you turn the lens by hand each time.
  • Only one HDMI port, so a second device needs a switch.

Verdict

Light enough to slip into a backpack, the LG PW600G suits a traveler who wants a projector for hotel rooms and apartments. At 0.6 kg and 50 mm thick, it goes into a bag without much thought. Its 65 W draw is modest, and the picture reaches 100 inch in a dim room. Auto keystone correction saves time on a crooked setup. Eco mode brings the noise down from 34 dB to 26 dB, which helps in a quiet room. A 1.02 m minimum throw suits tight spaces. The trade-off is the sound: the 2 W speaker is faint, and 600 ANSI lumens only works with the lights low. It fits a small bedroom or a dorm where you watch alone or with one friend, not a room full of guests.
