Great projector for the money. Epson 5050UB is great all-rounder but goes for 3K retail, 2.5K refurbished. This is a previous model. 4K enhanced through pixel shifting. Superior lens and color to similar priced projectors.

That one also was one of the best deals out there. Currently refurb is $2500.
I've started with 1.5k budget to get to 3800. Extra $600 would have been a rea stretch to me. The front page 4100 was just $70 less than this.
Personally I've decided to try $500 2150 as a first projector. While I was doing my research it sold out. Then I went for benq 2050a instead. But reading reviews from 2018 and MSRP was $70 more than what I paid for refurbished. Yes, the times are weird and prices went through the roof.

I inherited a sony 45es projector with low hours so it's going strong but the want for a laser projector is strong. Can't justify it though.
General consensus is that Epson's not-quite-4k has better subjective image quality than most/all cheaper projectors that product an actual 4k image via pixel shifting. It's less to do with the pixel shifting itself, and more to do with better contrast, better HDR handling, real/perceived brightness, etc.
Not worth it on that one
