4010 is a newer generation, and while it doesn't include the same accessories, it probably has improved performance.

Technically (spec wise) the 4010 is a better projector. Double the contrast ratio for starters.
But the main reason I went with Walmart's 4010 is because they took returns.

Since I have not been able to test any of these Epson projector I am very hesitant to buy one that I cant return if I dont like it.
If its not as good as I wanted to be I am happy to return and try something better.

Cant wait to try it out this week.

I think Epson would thank you for not buying this.

I have an older Epson 8350 that I'm very happy with because it's working fine. But this is very tempting!

Do sales happen often for short throw projectors?

The Vava was on sale for black friday. It's kind of a niche product so doesn't seem like it goes on sale, or a sale that would be really SD worthy. And when it does, it's like the high end sony that was $20k that goes down to like $12k which is a sale, but I can't afford it.

Vava has been banned from Amazon. Might be a good time to look for a deal... somewhere other than Amazon of course.

https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-HT3550-vs-Epson-Home-Cinema-4010.htm get a refurbished HT3550. " Most notably, the HT3550 uses a DLP chip, and its four-phase pixel shifting produces a full 3840 x 2160 pixels, while the 4010 is built around 3LCD technology and puts only half as many pixels on screen. "

The article you quote finishes with: "All this gives the 4010 an overall advantage, particularly if you need its placement flexibility, want a CIH setup, or expect to primarily watch SDR content over the time you expect to own it. But if you don't need those extra features, are more concerned with HDR content than SDR content, want the HLG support for streaming and broadcast sources, and don't want to spend the extra money, the HT3550 is still a terrific choice for the price."

Personally it's the HDMI 1.4 ports that will have me wait a bit longer, But the article you bring up to mention fewer pixels pretty much gives Epson the nod for almost every image quality test (including 1080p sources being converted)

The review you linked concludes to go with the 4010: "The comparison for image quality isn't as definitive. The 4010 delivered the better viewing experience for 1080p SDR content, with more accurate color, better contrast, and more detail. But with 4K HDR content, the two are much more evenly matched. Each has some advantages over the other, and which one you'll like better will depend on which compromises you'd rather make."

DLP is inferior. It can only show 1 color at any point in time. It relies on persistence of vision to trick the brain into thinking it's a multi color image. That's why some people see rainbow artifacts with DLP's fake imaging.

Not sure if that makes it 'inferior', but you are correct. These comments are meant to build on your thought.

Good news is a not-very-large percentage of folks will see the rainbow effect, so if you don't see it - 'inferior' is questionable.

And the blue LCD always goes out first in a 3 LCD leaving a yellow-ish image over time.

I found (speaking personally) DLP to be a crisper image over 3 LCD and the amount of light on the screen seems higher. The DLP is reflecting light through the light engine and only passes through the color wheel, unlike LCD where each color is passing through the associated LCD panel.

Among the myriad of things to determine when deciding on a projector or a TV (room ambient light, screen gain, screen material, throw distance, power outlets, signal cable routing. . ) the projector is a major, major factor. I'd recommend folks go see a DLP or an 3 LCD and see what they like before grabbing a deal on a projector they can't return.

Hope this helps
