CAUTION #1: When comparing projectors, do not be fooled by brightness specifications in the product title or spec section that simply say "lumens" rather than "ANSI lumens." (ANSI = American Nation Standards Institute). If the specs say "LED lumens" or just "lumens," please recognize that your are reading advertising, not a real measure of brightness. The LG PF50KA is measured at 600 ANSI lumens. That's as bright as any battery-powered portable projector on the market today. For apples-to-apples brightness comparisons, you need to know the ANSI lumens of each projector.
CAUTION #2: When comparing projectors, be sure to check its "native resolution." Just as with lumens, there is a lot of advertising fluff that contains abbreviations such as "HD." Keep in mind that almost all modern projectors can play video files that were filmed at various resolutions, but they will downgrade the fidelity to what the projector's graphics processor and native lamp capacity are. (Analogy: You can watch a 4K movie on your HD TV, but it will show up in HD, not 4K. You would need a 4K TV to display a 4K movie.) The LG PF50KA has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (width x height in pixels) considered "Full HD" by industry standards. It will display a 4K (3840 x 2160) movie at Full HD (1920 x 1080). Always check the "native resolution" of your projector so you know the maximum definition that projector is capable of displaying.

Pros:
Full 1080p resolution
Very low input lag for gaming
Auto vertical keystone with no blur
Good brightness for a dark room
Very small and portable
Responsive remote
Quick to turn on and off
Low fan noise (on medium energy saving mode)
Low heat produced
Con:
No zoom feature (if you are mounting it, find out where it needs to go before screwing the mount in place)
Wireless display has heavy delay (better to just use an HDMI for movies)
Other features:
It can play movies and photos directly from a USB stick.
It does have built in smart features, but since I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a Nintendo Switch, I haven't used them so I can't comment on those.

Pro
1. Its a major pro. The image quality. To begin with, 1080p (LG PF50KA) is way better than 720p (Wowoto H9).
Pixels are easily spotted on the 720p screen but 1080p is smoothly faded with no obvious pixel presence in close inspection.
Brightness is really good too. Even in low light settings (in the morning with blinds, in my case when the sun is shining to the opposite direction of the projector screen from around 7am to 3pm), the image is still very bright. But when the sunlight is coming toward the screen (4pm to 7pm), it is not so favorable while still watchable. And obviously, a full light on room is not working for this projector at all and a complete dark room setting at night is the best.
2. Smart TV capability. Hulu and Netflix are pre-installed and available on the go. LG contents movies and dramas are easy to navigate too.
3. Battery capability. I haven't moved the projector from its set position yet, but I certainly think I can carry this to another room for movies or
outdoors. Not a pocket sized projector but still very much carry-able in your backpack or small designated carriers.
4. Wireless connectivity. Works well with my bluetooth headphone. No hassle. Haven't tested other bluetooth connections like smartphones but there are many more connectivity available via wireless.
Con
1. No longer a Con. You can adjust display such as contrast, brightness, etc. So disregard this section. **updated**
2. Amazon Prime video is not available on the go. The pre-installed Internet browser (Chrome) works well but it does not support Amazon Prime video streaming. Amazon fire stick will probably allow you to watch Amazon Prime videos. I haven't tried it yet, but it should work.
3. Remote control could get better. I got used to it in 2 days but it seemed complicated at first. Too many buttons. Also, the buttons feel a bit too dull, making the whole menu navigation experience feel less crisp. Durability looks good instead.
4. No zoom in out or position change. I knew about this before the purchase and it didn't cause too much trouble, but I'd much prefer to have the feature.
Okay
1. Fan noise level is okay. When there is sound it is barely noticeable. When there is no sound, it is quite noticeable. But, it did not bother me much for 8 hour straight use even though my projector is placed right next to me. With headphones on, the fan noise is unnoticeable. You can hear the fan running on open can headphones, but only when theres no sound. Not a big problem for me.
2. Sound quality and loudness from this tiny projector is actually not bad. It depends on what source you are playing, but with Nintendo Switch hooked on, it gets pretty loud. The projector is set right next to my bed and if I put it over 50% loudness, I lower it down to 35% to 40% in less than 10 minutes because it hurts my ears. Nothing special but clear enough sound. Left right recognition is there, too but not great. Bass is not really there and I did not expect it to be. I think overall sound quality is okay for a small projector. Definitely acceptable. However, the internal speaker won't be good for Bluray audio or other multi channel support audio media. I played a 12GB movie and the internal speaker just sounded jammed. Foggy and very unclear. I suspect it is due to the amplified bass signals the input source is sending out. Otherwise, everything else worked just fine so far.
3. Built-in TV interface. Its alright. Pretty fast to go through menus. Click response time is very short and the operation software has never been slow or draggy for me. Menus look clean and easy to navigate. Fast enough to change through differenct sources, too. Takes only 3 seconds to change from HDMI port#1 to port#2. Have not noticed any lag at all in terms of software interface. Also, the menu orders are customizable. For instance you can put Youtube 1st, HDMI#1 2nd, HDMI#2 3rd, Netflix 4th, etc. You can change pre-set display mode with short key button on the remote control. However, as I mentioned, there are too many buttons on the remote control and the buttons feel dull, rubbery, and somewhat hard. I believe it is made this way for durability, but the fast interface feels slower due to this not so snappy feeling remote control.
Final thoughts **updated**
**I could give this projector 4 stars for not having the display customization**<<NOT TRUE. You can adjust display attributes all you want>> but decided give it a 5 stars because of the flash sale (about 100 off). The preset modes aren't bad either except for the two expert mode for different room situations which I think are pretty useless. The remote control gets on my nerves but its not like they feel cheap or don't work properly. Just lack some finesse. Overall, I am really glad I bought this 1080p projector over the 720p Wowoto H9.
**update**
I read someone's comment and realized you can adjust Contrast, Brightness, H Sharpness, V Sharpness, Color, Tint, Color Temperature, Dynamic Contrast, Super Resolution, Color Gamut, Edge Enhancer, Color Filter, Gamma, White Balance, Color Mnagement System. Wow.
