Pros and cons

According to our projector expert

This short-throw projector can project a large image size at a short distance.
The WebOS operating system combines apps, the internet, and connected devices in a clear overview.
You can control the projector intuitively by pointing the included Magic Remote at the screen.
Due to the light output of 1000 ANSI lumen, this projector isn't suitable for brightly lit rooms.
You can only stream Netflix or Amazon Prime Video via a smartphone, tablet, or PC.

Description

With the LG HF65LSR, you can view large projections in small rooms. This short-throw projector has a projection ratio of 0:29.1. This means you can put it less than half a meter from the wall to project a 60-inch image. This prevents people from walking through your projection and casting unwanted shadows onto the screen. If you connect the projector to the internet, you'll gain access to useful smart functions. The WebOS operating system provides a clear menu that combines websites or apps like YouTube. With the included Magic Remote, you can quickly switch between all the functions and apps. You select an option by pointing the remote at the wall or the screen.

Great picture taking into account the ultra short restrictio

Quick on and off
Beautiful in design
Smooth image (no artifacts)
Internet browser substandard and outdated

Nice sleek design and light weight, easy to move with one hand. Fan audible, but not annoying, as it is a few meters away near the screen. I don't call it 'ultra' short, for a 100 inch screen (=diagonal!) the mirror must be 69 cm away. At 13 cm from the wall with the projection mirror 44 cm on the edge of my TV cabinet, I only get 60 inches. The advertising image and specifications on the official LG website are therefore misleading. Internal speaker(s) reasonable, sounds like small car speakers, without bass. Equalizer only adjustable on internal speakers, difference in sound adjustment barely audible. External amplification via headphone output, hi-fi quality 6/10. Pointer (type of mouse) on remote control out of focus every time you aim outside the screen. It disappears after a few seconds, then you have to scroll to activate it again. No backlit keys on the remote (piercing in the dark). Tip: Connecting a wireless mouse (eg Logitech) and keyboard to the USB ports is much more convenient. Image 7/10 after setting adjustment option warm tones, otherwise cold and hard. Option natural tones is green, have the impression that there is a technical problem here. White lights in a video/film are sometimes too bright and annoying, impossible to get soft. Otherwise good HD quality for its price, cinema feeling, especially with YouTube.filmpjes. Playback (via HDMI cable) from iPadPro or laptop screen only fills the screen for 90% (black frame). The room must be pitch dark (few Lumens), the image is dark at the slightest incidence of light. On the wall, all wall irregularities are accentuated and the image is distorted compared to a long throw beamer. Discoloration in white projection, hemisphere at the bottom of the screen near the lamp (think typical for short throw). The bottom of the image is not sharp, so subtitles or text are a bit blurry, but you get used to it. Focusing wheel is located between the lamp and projection screen, so your hand is always in the way when focusing. Zooming in and out or lens shift height not possible, must be done by moving the beamer to the front or back. Getting the image nicely aligned with the 4 angle adjustments is a challenge, so it's best to fix the device afterwards. My devices iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy J5 and Vista Windows laptop wirelessly recognized to project photos, videos, etc. But photos, video and music files did not open (presumably limited compatibility with audio/video codecs). Wireless screen sharing is not possible on any device, because they do not have Miracast or IntelWIDI. The LG projector does not support Airplay2, nor Android WifiDirect or Samsung Smartview. When using LG content apps for Belgium, language setting is Dutch, usually French language/subtitles. Have reset the device with the Netherlands setting, where the LG content contains film apps with Dutch subtitles. No apps can be downloaded outside the limited LG content (so no Netflix or well-known Android apps). The web browser is a stripped-down version with limited features (confirmed by LG). Web browser cannot be updated (confirmed by LG), will no longer be supported after some time. Internet browser does not support all video codecs (eg VTM Go TV channels do not play, gives error message). Wifi Internet streaming sometimes needs synchronization adjustment (image vs sound), this is easily adjustable. Sometimes the image drops for 1-4 seconds when switching or starting video clips in the internet browser.

price quality below average

short projection distance
nice design
nice picture in darkened room
internet browser slow

There are few projectors with a short projection distance, LG manages to beam a large image at a projection distance of no less than 12 cm from the wall.

I would not call the product a 'smart' beamer.
