12 Reasons For for Choosing the LG PH550
The LG PH550 has a noise level of 24, whereas the Anker Nebula Capsule and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z are both 30dB projectors (6dB louder) and the Optoma EH515T is a 28dB projector (4dB louder). 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, but the 3M MP220 and the Anker Nebula Capsule have a very low contrast ratio and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z and the Optoma EH515T have a medium 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 LG PH550 supports 3D, and so do the Anker Nebula Capsule and the Optoma EH515T, however the 3M MP220 and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z do not. 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) (as does the Optoma EH515T), but the 3M MP220, the Anker Nebula Capsule and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z do not have this feature. 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, and so do the Anker Nebula Capsule and the Optoma EH515T, whereas the 3M MP220 and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z do 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!
The LG PH550 has received a Kagoo Score of 86, whereas the 3M MP220 scored 80, the Anker Nebula Capsule scored only 72, the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z scored 81 and the Optoma EH515T scored 78.
A greater number of retailers increases the price competition amongst retailers for this projector and also increases the chances of the product remaining in stock.
The LG PH550 has received 4 awards, but the 3M MP220 has received 1 award, the Anker Nebula Capsule has received 1 award, the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z has received no awards and the Optoma EH515T has received no awards.
Based on 14 reviews, the average expert review score of the LG PH550 is 84%, whereas the average rating of the 3M MP220 is 73% (based on 5 reviews), the average rating of the Anker Nebula Capsule is 71% (based on 32 reviews) and the average rating of the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z is 77% (based on 8 reviews).
Based on 165 reviews, the average overall review score of the LG PH550 is 88%, whereas the average rating of the 3M MP220 is 83% (based on 6 reviews), the average rating of the Anker Nebula Capsule is 74% (based on 45 reviews) and the average rating of the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z is 81% (based on 10 reviews).
Our analysis of the LG PH550 reviews indicates that more reviewers thought the LG PH550 was better in terms of size. Over 10 people thought that it was really easy to carry around and several people thought that it was also compact, was a good size and was lightweight.
The LG PH550 reviewers thought the LG PH550 produces better picture quality. Over 50 people thought that it had outstanding picture quality and several people thought that it also had brilliant colour saturation, was good for watching movies and had a good brightness.
8 Reasons Against for Choosing the LG PH550
The LG PH550 has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 720 (720p), which is half as high resolution as the Optoma EH515T (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 LG PH550 is a 550 brightness projector. That's 450 ANSI lumens brighter than the Anker Nebula Capsule (100 ANSI Lumens), 400 ANSI lumens brighter than the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z (150 ANSI Lumens) and 4,950 ANSI lumens dimmer than the Optoma EH515T (5,500 ANSI Lumens). More ...

7 Reasons For for Choosing the Optoma EH515T
The Optoma EH515T has a projector native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p), however the 3M MP220 only has a projector native resolution of 1024 x 576 (WSVGA), the Anker Nebula Capsule and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z have a projector native resolution of 854 x 480 (WVGA) and the LG PH550 only has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 720 (720p). More ...

A projector with a higher native resolution will be able to display more detailed images such as HD content.

A 3D projector allows you to view the huge range of 3D films and content that is now available.
The Optoma EH515T supports full HD, but the 3M MP220, the Anker Nebula Capsule, the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z and the LG PH550 do not support this feature. More ...

The Optoma EH515T has an Ethernet LAN, and so does the Anker Nebula Capsule, but the 3M MP220, the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z and the LG PH550 do not. More ...

The Optoma EH515T has a handheld remote control (as do the Anker Nebula Capsule and the LG PH550), whereas the 3M MP220 and the Asus ZenBeam Go E1Z do 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!
Optoma projectors have an average rating of 94.3%, but 3M only has an average rating of 66.9%, Anker only has an average rating of 68.1%, Asus only has an average rating of 82.5% and LG only has an average rating of 82.7%.

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.

'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.
