First Impressions
The LG CineBeam PU700R has a cool design that LG made the most out of. The projector looks like an elliptically-shaped spotlight, with a strong base and a single arm that holds the bulk of the projector in place, whichever way you decide to angle it—and I mean, any way you like. Forward, up, and any angle in between at 90 degrees. It can be placed anywhere and project on a screen, a wall, the ceiling, and it automatically corrects the image to be rectangular no matter the angle.I appreciate the flexibility and spent a good deal of time watching content projected on my bedroom wall as I wrote, and on the ceiling. Out of all the projectors I've tested in my current apartment, I'd have to say this one is the easiest to use in awkward settings. The layout in my space is not the most conducive to enjoying a projector, and I am pleased with the way this LG allowed me to point and shoot to enjoy movies, TV shows, and games, wherever I was, with a good-looking image.
