The lightweight and portable LG Minibeam LED Projector (PH550) can project television shows thanks to its built-in TV tuner, has a wealth of connection choices, and boasts very good video and data image quality.

The PH550 is an LED-based DLP projector with a rated brightness of 550 lumens and native 720p (1,280-by-720) resolution.

Dimensions and Weight

The PH550 is a compact and lightweight projector, measuring 1.7 by 6.9 by 4.3 inches (HWD) and weighing just 1.4 pounds.

Connection Ports

Ports include an MHL-enabled HDMI port, a port for a USB thumb drive, AV-in for connecting to a composite audio-video source with an included cable, audio-out, VGA, and a TV coaxial connector.

TV Tuner

The coaxial plug at right fits a cable to connect the built-in TV tuner to an over-the-air antenna or a set-top box.

Speakers

The PH550's two 1-watt speakers produce soft audio, suitable for a very small room. Should you want louder audio, you could plug powered external speakers into the audio-out jack, or connect wirelessly to a Bluetooth speaker.
