I already ordered the E11 so I guess it's too late for me.

But if mine is dehfective, it's going back to the local store and we're going to fight. Cause it reads this:

This product may be returned within 90 days for free return or replacement if you are not satisfied.

Backed by 90-day free return to enable shopping with confidence.


If they're selling me a defective refurb and won't refund the money, we're going to have problems. Buying with confidence, to me, means I can get my money back on a defective refurb.
I guess if you Claim item is defective, they have to accept the return. It is not like they will test the projector to verify your claim.

I'm not going to return it if it works. But being a refurb, I do fear it having 50 dead pixels or 15,000 hours on it. I would assume you can check the hours on it. So I only plan on returning it if there's a very valid reason.

Got a $50 projector last year for pool parties: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WRKSZ3D

Works great. Will this one be better? I'd like a little brighter, although the lm rating on this is 1000 and my $50 thing advertises like 4500lm
You gotta get with it, the upgraded version is now 12,000L! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCXYZ...i_atc&th=1

I hope you know that number is just complete bs, the epson is going to be a *much* brighter projector with a better picture... but for obviously alot more $.

By the way for returns, my projector has shipped and it already gives me online return options.

I selected the used option for condition and reason as being no longer wanted. Says it will give me a full refund and can return to store, ship via FedEx or USPS all for free. YMMV though.

I guess worst case if I don't like it and they don't accept return, I'll just sell on eBay and probably easily make my money back

For this price, if you need a portable speaker it's a steal. The brightness is a little dim though. If you don't need portability, around this price, you can get a PT-RZ370U with low hours off eBay, which is highly recommended for a starter/budget projector. Since it was made for commercial use, they're beasts. Great quality and last forever. Plus can be found relatively cheap since they're not on everyones radar. I'm currently using that + a firestick and love it.
If you don't mind, What would you consider a low amount of hours on a commercial projector? Thanks

I saw some used ones for $350. Can you send a link for refurbished for $250?

I've never seen a refurbished one. They haven't been produced in a while so doubt that's a thing for the RZ370u, TBH. If that's important to you, then I would pass on my suggestion and either sacrifice brightness on something like this or spend some more on one of the other refurb deals that came out recently. But used is totally fine as long as you make sure the seller is reputable / has a good return policy and the hours are low. Like I said, these were meant to last. As a laser vs bulb it'll last upwards of 20,000 hours.

It'll depend. I bought mine for just under $300 (was listed higher, made an offer) with around 4k hours. So you'd kind of just want to keep an eye out on options and gauge the best price to hours ratio. My friend also bought the same one for around $150, but it had 12k hours which I would still take over this (because I don't have a completely dark theater room). Ideally, I'd try to stay under 10k hours and around the $250 range.

I purchased an EF11 to replace a 10+ year old Epson 3100 with bulb issues. The bulbs on that are over $300 if you can get one in stock.

I use a ceiling mount so I had to order an adapter from Epson for $10. https://epson.com/Accessories/Pro...V12HA40AA0

There's no female mount-point on the bottom, how would you do that?
