- Hi, and welcome to "Expert Picks," the projector edition.
I'm Emily, a home expert from Best Buy
and I'm here to help you find the projector
that's right for you.
We'll walk through four popular models,
ranked from independent customer reviews
posted on bestbuy.com.
And I'll give you my perspective on each.
Today, we'll look at the LG PF50KA,
the Vankyo Leisure 3W Pro,
the Vava Ultra Short Throw, and the Epson 5050UB.

Let's say you like the outdoors,
you enjoy camping, tailgating,
or maybe you have a backyard
that could host an awesome movie night.
If that's the case, the LG PF50KA is the projector for you.
Weighing in at just over two pounds,
this projector is compact, has a built-in speaker,
and can easily be set up outdoors.
It's also battery powered
and can run for around two and a half hours on one charge,
making you the hero of your next outdoor adventure.
Not to mention the built-in smart app lets you connect
your Mac or a PC without any additional cables.
Pretty cool.
What didn't I love about this projector?
Well, it certainly packs a punch,
but in order to get the full
two and a half hours of projection time,
you do have to turn on Eco mode,
a trade off you'll have to evaluate yourself.
But if a compact, portable,
high definition projector is what you're looking for,
the LG PF50KA is my expert pick for you.

Next up, we have the Vankyo Leisure 3W Pro.
If you're looking for a projector that's small and portable
or even something for the kids' room that works well,
but doesn't break the bank,
this could be the projector for you.
It's small form factor and carrying case makes it
very portable and easy to transport wherever you go.
The connectivity of the projector is a huge bonus as well.
You can connect to your local network
and instantly stream your favorite content,
run various internet-based apps
or mirror from your mobile device or computer,
making it great for presentations
or movie night with the kids.
This projector also has built-in stereo audio.
So you're covered if there are
no external speakers available.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that
it's not battery powered
and you'll need to have a power outlet
within reach to run this projector.
But hey, if portability, small size,
and connectivity are what you're looking for,
the Vankyo Leisure 3W Pro is perfect for you.

Let's say you're looking to create
a home theater experience,
but don't have a ton of room to work with.
Maybe you also want a larger, more detailed image
without adding a mount to the back of your room.
Well, if that's the case,
the Vava Ultra Short Throw Projector is the perfect
all-in-one home theater projector for you.
You can place this projector
just over 7.2 inches away from your screen
and still get a hundred-inch 4K Ultra HD image.
It also has a built-in high quality soundbar,
making this a great all-in-one projector
for your next movie night or game watching experience.
Not to mention, it's very user-friendly, simple to install,
and has the ability to be controlled seamlessly
through the Vava app.
So if a home theater is on your horizon
and a simplistic high quality all-in-one system is
what you're looking for,
then the Vava Ultra Short Throw Projector would be
my pick for you.

Now, what if portability and size
of space aren't a factor for you?
You're wanting the biggest, baddest, high quality image
in the comfort of your own home.
Well, look no further than the Epson 5050UB.
This projector is a superstar.
Whether you're a movie buff, sports fanatic, or a gamer,
this option will give you the dynamic visuals
you've always dreamed of.
It emits a beautiful 4K HDR image
with the flexibility to scale between 50 and 300 inches.
We're talking extremely versatile.
The internal technology is really
what makes this projector shine.
The Epson 5050UB uses lens shifting to correct images
and helps prevent the loss of image detail,
reducing noticeable distortions in the image.
Now, one thing to know is that audio comes separate.
So if you're needing an all-in-one combo,
this may not be the best fit for you.
But if that's not a big deal
and getting the absolute best image quality,
and largest projection is most important,
then the Epson 5050UB is my choice for you.
All right, we've covered a lot of ground here. Let's recap.
For your outdoor projection needs, the LG PF50KA is my pick.
For all around portability and price,
I recommend the Vankyo Leisure 3W Pro.
For the easiest, user-friendly home theater experience,
my favorite is the Vava Ultra Short Throw.
And for the absolute best image quality
and creating a cinematic home theater experience,
I'm going with the Epson 5050UB.
