One thing I have to same time make it clear: There is an office projector. Ie it does not come with a native "720p" resolution around the corner, but with 4: 3 XGA resolution (1024x768). That's better than the 800x600 around 300 Billigheimer but just best if suboptimal for movies. And then you hear it. No, not annoying and yes, look at films or gamble you get it with nothing. But people with high expectations could perceive this as annoying, as in quiet scenes. Being - such people might be looking not at this price range for a matching device and if it does it make obvious what is wrong.
And that brings me to perhaps the most important criterion, the image quality. I say it this way: does not expect any miracles. My brother in law has not "stand tube TV at home and NEN 6 year old projector, which it has also soon behind him; the place the picture totally awesome I myself have still nen 46." 32 Samsung LED Full HD TV 6 Series at home and have to say "Cutting edge" is something completely different. But, hey, what do you expect from XGA resolution, which is projected to 2.30m width ?! Anyway times better miracles. Clear sees the already quite good, just look at the Blu-Ray's very neat. But who is hoping a similar quality at a good FullHD will probably be disappointed, especially if it sits quite close to the picture. The rainbow effect I observed also, but I had to provoke the already by rapid head turning.
The 3D representation is due (already installed) firmware update now available in 16: 9 without any problems, so this is no longer an exclusion criterion. The effect is good, but depends heavily on the source. Nachkonvertierte films (Fight of Titaten) for example can "save" no projector in the world. Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3 again looks straight into the cockpit view from super awesome, but the other quality suffers through the halved resolution for technical reasons but a lot. According to the manual the way you should sit ideally 5-10 meters from the screen, if you want to experience the best 3D effect. So I can reassure you, 3-4 feet go, whatsoever is more than I can not say, because my theater room is only 4.80m long.
For assembly: According to the data of LG can not be mounted on the ceiling the projector. Of course, cheese, it comes. The ceiling mount should this have 4 arms and is good. What negative falls well for the price range in the weight: for 2.30m image width (not: diagonal) you have to move the unit over 4m away from the screen, the zoom range is priced very low common. And of course, centered round because Lens Schift not control the device. But again: Who needs it, who is here clearly in the wrong price category go, sorry.
The included 3D glasses from LG is great, I can not say anything against. But be careful: It requires the model LG AG-S250J. Although the glasses LG AG-S250 (without J at the end) is cheaper but no DLP-Link glasses, ie 3D TVs compatible with the LG. So do not save at the wrong end :-).
Conclusion: For the 500 you get with the LG a "real" HDMI 1.4 3D projector including glasses, all paired with an acceptable resolution and image quality.. But its nature (office equipment), he can never quite hide. So if you are looking for a favorable introduction to the world of 3D home theater makes the LG nothing wrong.
Those who place very high value on image quality, especially when the width of the image should be at the end of about 2 meters, which should look more like a FullHD Beamer. Even where the starting price has slipped to about 600, although these devices dominate of course without appropriate equipment (converters, PC) no 3D.
