Our take on the Kodak Luma 500 Pico Projector

The Kodak Luma 500 is a pocket-size DLP projector running Google TV, with native 1080p output, 4K input support and a built-in battery. It streams apps directly over Wi-Fi, so no laptop or streaming stick is needed. Its low brightness suits dark rooms and small screens rather than daytime viewing, and at this size it competes with other pico projectors on portability, not on picture punch. Buyers who want a big image on a wall or tent at night will get the most from it; anyone expecting TV-like brightness in a lit room will be disappointed.

Questions and answers

Is the Kodak Luma 500 good for daytime viewing?
No. Its brightness is low, so it works best in a dark room or at night. In daylight the image washes out even on a small screen.
Does it need a streaming stick?
No. Google TV is built in, with Netflix and other apps, plus Chromecast for casting from a phone. HDMI and USB inputs are there for consoles, laptops and drives.
What screen size does it handle?
It can throw an image up to about 150 inches, but brightness drops as the picture grows. Most owners stay well below that for a usable image.
How long does the battery last?
The rated figure is about two hours, but owners report less when streaming over Wi-Fi. Plan on plugging in for full-length films.
Does it support 4K?
It accepts 4K input and downscales it, but the native resolution is 1080p. You get a Full HD image, not true 4K.
Can I connect a soundbar or headphones?
Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 lets you pair wireless speakers or headphones, which most owners do because the internal speaker is weak.
