LG HU80KA 4K UHD Laser Smart Home Theater Projector + $200 Visa GC Expired

oh gosh I want this projector SO bad!!! Let me try and answer some potential questions/concerns...

It retails at $3,000
Normal sale is $2,700
And once in a while $2,500 (Costco had it for $2,500 + $150 GC)
So this $2,300 +$100 GC is a steal.

Now before the haters come in, let's talk about specs/tech...

First, there are a lot of projectors for this same price that are better in a lot of ways (the perfect example is the new BenQ HT3550 that comes out in a week or two for $1,500).

With this projector, ignore comparing it to other projectors because you're paying for it's functionality, which no other projector offers.

For example, when I finally can afford this (Christmas?), this will be my use:

Take it to the bedroom, project the video on the ceiling for some fun comedies
Take it outside, enjoy a movie/show over a firepit/jacuzzi
Take it to work, project it on a wall to watch March Madness, or work-related stuff like department numbers/goals
Take it to friends/family events, project it to 100-150" on any wall they have
Take it to my theater room at home, for regular movie watching

The uses and benefits are countless & since it's laser you don't have to worry about replacing expensive bulbs/parts, this will last 10-30 years.

Lastly, the best thing is I literally only need to plug in the power cable, no other cord. Built-in sound (no bluetooth/wired speaker needed), built-in WebOS for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/YouTube (no AppleTV/Roku needed), built-in Wifi (no ethernet cable needed), etc. So to watch any movie/show I simply use the projector remote.

I've done extensive research on 4k projectors, read hundreds of reviews for all of them, I'm on AVSforums daily, I even made a list of every 4k projector under $3,000 and all of their benefits… and I'm still choosing this one in the end!

Anyway, this is a slick deal, wish I had the funds, but I wanted to at least provide some feedback for those wondering!!

This thing is really cool. I do not have one personally, but my neighbor does. I have seen it in is home theater, with a 12ft screen and it was very impressive. He has a really good screen, so that helps as well. I have also seen it outside, watching sports by the pool. Was pretty bight, even during the day.

May have to think about this one.

This projector can do 150".
