Multiple reviews mentioned that LG PH550 has great expert reviews and very good user reviews with 93% of buyers recommending this data projector to others.
15 Reasons For for Choosing the LG PH550
The LG PH550 is a 24 projector. That's 8dB quieter than the Asus P2E (32dB), 5dB quieter than the Benq HT3050 (29dB) and 4dB quieter than the Optoma EH515 (28dB). More ...
The noise level of the projector is the amount of noise that the projector makes (caused by the cooling fan inside the projector) when it is running.
A lower noise level means that the projector will be quieter when it is running. This means that you will be able to appreciate the quieter parts of films better without the background noise of the projector running. Most projectors have a noise level between 30 and 40Db, which rates them as 'very quiet' by Industial Noise Control - on par with low bird calls, or a quiet rural area. You can find more information here: http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm.
The LG PH550 has a very high (100000:1) contrast ratio, which is 5 times higher contrast ratio as the 3M MP220 (very low) and twice as high contrast ratio as the Asus P2E and the Optoma EH515 (medium). More ...
The contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest white and the brightness of darkest black that the projector can produce.
A higher contrast ratio means that the projector can produce images with greater contrast so that they will appear more vivid.
The LG PH550 supports 3D (as do the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515), but the 3M MP220 and the Asus P2E do not support this feature. More ...
3D compatible projectors are able to display 3D content. Most projectors will require you to wear special glasses in order to view the 3D effect.
A 3D projector allows you to view the huge range of 3D films and content that is now available.
The LG PH550 has a Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), and so do the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515, whereas the 3M MP220 and the Asus P2E do not. More ...
MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is a protocol for streaming high-def video and images from a phone to the projector.
The LG PH550 has a handheld remote control (as do the Asus P2E, the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515), however the 3M MP220 does not have this feature. More ...
'Handheld Remote Control' indicates whether the projector comes with a handheld remote to control the device or not.
Handheld remotes are very helpful, since they mean you don't have to get up from your comfy seat to tweak the settings on the projector mid-film!
The LG PH550 has received a Kagoo Score of 88, however the 3M MP220 scored only 74, the Asus P2E scored 79, the Benq HT3050 scored 79 and the Optoma EH515 scored only 74.
The LG PH550 costs $220.99 less than the Asus P2E, costs $457.18 less than the Benq HT3050 and costs $1,350 less than the Optoma EH515.

The LG PH550 has received 4 awards from expert review sites, whereas the 3M MP220 has received 1 award, the Asus P2E has received no awards, the Benq HT3050 has received 1 award and the Optoma EH515 has received no awards.

Multiple reviews mentioned that 3M MP220 has good expert reviews and terrific user reviews with an average overall rating of 83%.
2 Reasons For for Choosing the 3M MP220
The 3M MP220 was released two years ago, but the Asus P2E was released seven years ago, the Benq HT3050 was released five years ago, the LG PH550 was released four years ago and the Optoma EH515 was released five years ago
Based on 1 review, the 3M MP220 has an average user review score of 100%, but the Asus P2E has an average rating of 85% (based on 16 reviews), the Benq HT3050 has an average rating of 89% (based on 174 reviews) and the LG PH550 has an average rating of 90% (based on 151 reviews).
10 Reasons Against for Choosing the 3M MP220
The 3M MP220 has a projector native resolution of 1024 x 576 (WSVGA), whereas the Asus P2E has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA), the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515 have a projector native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the LG PH550 has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 720 (720p). More ...
The projector native resolution is the resolution of image that the projector is able to produce. The resolution is expressed as the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels.
A projector with a higher native resolution will be able to display more detailed images such as HD content.
The 3M MP220 has a very low (400:1) contrast ratio, which is 3 times lower contrast ratio as the Asus P2E and the Optoma EH515 (medium), 4 times lower contrast ratio as the Benq HT3050 (high) and 5 times lower contrast ratio as the LG PH550 (very high). More ...
The contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest white and the brightness of darkest black that the projector can produce.
A higher contrast ratio means that the projector can produce images with greater contrast so that they will appear more vivid.
The 3M MP220 has a service life of lamp of 20, however the Asus P2E and the LG PH550 are both 30,000h lamp service life projectors (10,000h longer), the Benq HT3050 is a 3,500h lamp service life projector (16,500h shorter) and the Optoma EH515 is a 3,000h lamp service life projector (17,000h shorter). More ...
'Service Life' indicates how long the lamp in the projector will last before it needs to be replaced, measured in hours.
A longer life lamp means you'll need to replace it far less frequently, saving you money.
The 3M MP220 does not support full HD (As do the the Asus P2E, the Benq HT3050 and the LG PH550), but the Optoma EH515 does. More ...
Full HD projectors can display full HD content such as films and HD TV.

'Handheld Remote Control' indicates whether the projector comes with a handheld remote to control the device or not.
Handheld remotes are very helpful, since they mean you don't have to get up from your comfy seat to tweak the settings on the projector mid-film!
The 3M MP220 has only received a Kagoo Score of 74, but the Asus P2E scored 79, the Benq HT3050 scored 79 and the LG PH550 scored 88.
We couldn't find any retailers that are currently selling the product. More ...
The 3M MP220 has only received 1 award, however the LG PH550 has received 4 awards.
The 3M MP220 only has an average expert score of 73%, but the Asus P2E has an average expert rating of 92% (based on 2 reviews), the Benq HT3050 has an average expert rating of 87% (based on 12 reviews) and the LG PH550 has an average expert rating of 84% (based on 14 reviews).

5 Reasons For for Choosing the Asus P2E
The Asus P2E has a card reader integrated, however the 3M MP220, the Benq HT3050, the LG PH550 and the Optoma EH515 do not have this feature. More ...
'Card Reader Integrated' denotes whether the projector comes with an inbuilt reader for memory cards or not.
A memory card is a good way to easily load a film into the projector to watch, without having to hook it up to a computer first.
The Asus P2E is a ceiling mountable projector (as are the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515), but the 3M MP220 and the LG PH550 are not. More ...
'Ceiling Mountable' indicates whether the projector is capable of being mounted to the ceiling or not.
Ceiling mounting is the best way of assuring the projector always has a clear line of sight to the projecting surface.
The Asus P2E has a handheld remote control, and so do the Benq HT3050, the LG PH550 and the Optoma EH515, whereas the 3M MP220 does not. More ...
'Handheld Remote Control' indicates whether the projector comes with a handheld remote to control the device or not.
Handheld remotes are very helpful, since they mean you don't have to get up from your comfy seat to tweak the settings on the projector mid-film!
Based on 2 reviews, the average expert review score of the Asus P2E is 92%, whereas the average rating of the 3M MP220 is 73% (based on 5 reviews), the average rating of the Benq HT3050 is 87% (based on 12 reviews) and the average rating of the LG PH550 is 84% (based on 14 reviews).
Based on 18 reviews, the average overall review score of the Asus P2E is 90%, whereas the average rating of the 3M MP220 is 83% (based on 6 reviews), the average rating of the Benq HT3050 is 89% (based on 186 reviews) and the average rating of the LG PH550 is 88% (based on 165 reviews).
11 Reasons Against for Choosing the Asus P2E
The Asus P2E has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA), which is half as high resolution as the Benq HT3050 and the Optoma EH515 (1920 x 1080 (1080p)). More ...
The projector native resolution is the resolution of image that the projector is able to produce. The resolution is expressed as the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels.
A projector with a higher native resolution will be able to display more detailed images such as HD content.
The Asus P2E has a noise level of 32, whereas the Benq HT3050 is a 29dB projector (3dB quieter), the LG PH550 is a 24dB projector (8dB quieter) and the Optoma EH515 is a 28dB projector (4dB quieter). More ...
The noise level of the projector is the amount of noise that the projector makes (caused by the cooling fan inside the projector) when it is running.
A lower noise level means that the projector will be quieter when it is running. This means that you will be able to appreciate the quieter parts of films better without the background noise of the projector running. Most projectors have a noise level between 30 and 40Db, which rates them as 'very quiet' by Industial Noise Control - on par with low bird calls, or a quiet rural area. You can find more information here: http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm.
The Asus P2E has a medium (3500:1) contrast ratio (as is the Optoma EH515), but the Benq HT3050 has a high contrast ratio and the LG PH550 has a very high contrast ratio. More ...
The contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest white and the brightness of darkest black that the projector can produce.
A higher contrast ratio means that the projector can produce images with greater contrast so that they will appear more vivid.
The Asus P2E is a 350 brightness projector. That's 1,650 ANSI lumens dimmer than the Benq HT3050 (2,000 ANSI Lumens), 200 ANSI lumens dimmer than the LG PH550 (550 ANSI Lumens) and 5,150 ANSI lumens dimmer than the Optoma EH515 (5,500 ANSI Lumens). More ...
'Projector Brightness' is how bright the bulb in the projector is, measured in 'lumens'.
A brighter bulb means that the projector will be seen clearer, and can project to surfaces father away without appearing too dark.
The Asus P2E does not support full HD (As do the the 3M MP220, the Benq HT3050 and the LG PH550), whereas the Optoma EH515 supports this feature. More ...

A more powerful bulb means that the projector will be seen clearer, and can project to surfaces father away without appearing too dark.
