I own the HU80KA and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I've had it for about a year, leave it on all day constantly, still bright and crisp (due it being laser vs traditional lamp). It's use-case is portability, so if you need something you can easily take to your friends/family/outing/backyard/work/etc, get this
If you don't need a portable projector, well, look elsewhere
I have the HU80KA and it's awesome. Get an ALR screen which rejects lights coming from different angles. It allows me to use the projector in the daytime in a room where half the walls are windows. It doesn't look great with all windows open but if I close 1/2 of them, it's fine. Look up "carl's place" screens. You can build your own frame with about $25 of wood and a staple gun.
The portability is awesome. I can project onto an outdoor screen and watch movies while floating in the pool. It has a retractable cord which is more convenient than you would think.
One of my best splurges to date.

I was comparing the hu80ka.. the viewsonic one is exactly similar projector.. portable..
It's not exactly the same - not even close. LG is laser based, and ViewSonic is lamp - huge difference. Laser based ones are pretty much always superior picture wise.

Not the same but isn't the viewsonic one superior (LED lamp replacable with 30k hrs life vs laser non-replacable at 20k hrs life)

Like the idea of laser but will it be an issue if it's mounted ceiling 10 ft away?

Example: The HU80KA can't really be compared to any projector because no projector offers what it does.

Edit: Seems like the input lag is around 71ms. Good projector for movies or light gaming, but I'll keep waiting.

Yes it will be an issue. Doesn't work far away. Only short throw I believe.

Someone says there's lag on the projector, was hoping to buy ps5 and Xbox X just for my new projector room when they come out.
