I had a few LCD projectors before switching to a lamp-based Epson that can be replaced. LCD-based projectors have a specific life span - 20K hours for this model. Nobody really knows how long it will last, but at least 20K hours. That's lower than claimed by some no-name projectors, but those marketing people will claim 6000 Lunens of brightness when their projectors are closer to 400 ANSI Lunens. Also, reputable projector companies make models that last more than 1-2 yrs. Think my Epson 1080 is 5 yrs old and it was 2+ yrs used when we got it. It has 2800 Lunens, for comparison. We found that too bright and always run in eco mode to lengthen the bulb life. If you can control the lighting in a room, 550 ANSI Lunens and higher are good enough. Brighter seems to always be better, Cheaper, Chinese no-name (annually they change their manufacturer name to avoid warranty claims) all lie about Lumens, sharpness, colors, and fan noise. The more they claim "quiet fans", the more likely they are lying and you can expect 55dB noise. That's been my experience.
Fan noise is always an issue with all projectors. Get it as low as possible. Under 30dB is best. Much over 35dB and you'll always hear the fan ... it is like the old sync lines on SONY Trinitron TVs/Monitors. Once someone pointed those out, all you can see at 1/3 and 2/3 height on the screen is the tiny, thing, sync lines.
Forget about the speakers in any projectors. If you are going to the effort to have a projector, go to the effort to have good sound too.
Assuming these projectors actually work "like new", this is a bargain. I'm tempted to have a spare.
Reputable projectors always - ALWAYS - spell out their ANSI LUNs and honest fan noise dBs. Optoma, Epson, Viewsonic, BenQ, and Nebula (Anker) is building a good name, for what they sell, but watch out for cheap versions. There might be a few brands I forgot. Sorry. If they sell for less than $350 normally, it is likely a Chinese cheapo, knock off projector. If you have any interest, spend less than $100 to try a 1080 or 720p cheap projector. Then decide if you want to spend for a quality projector. A well filled with a huge movie is vastly different than a 65inch TV - just saying. I never plan to have a TV in the house again. Projectors have ruined TVs for me.
But if mine is defective, 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.

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
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 $.
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

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.
