LG PF85U Portable LED DLP Projector

Love, love, love this!

Great projector, I'm very, very happy I bought this.

Bought this projector 2 months ago, making loud fan noises and stop working so sent in for repair. Been waiting for 3 weeks not sure if I will ever get it back. Called LG several times to check the status – but every time different person and story –...
