This unit retails for over 2k so the price is cheaper than usual, however, Optoma isn’t the best regarded brand of projectors. Even 1k is too much given the reliability issues and poor customer support.
If I hadn’t just bought one. I’d be all over this. That’s a great price for this projector. For a 1080p HD Projector with 3600 Lumens, refurb or not it’s a deal.
I bought an HD projector 2 years ago (for half this price) and it’s the best money I ever spent. I watch movies on a 99" screen with surround in my living room and never spend money on a movie ticket.
That said, while refurbished isn’t bad (I just replaced the fan in my projector, doesn’t make the projector bad), this is a lot to pay for a projector and I understand any reluctance.
On the positive side, at least the description was funny… Brings back memories of when I was a kid, spending hours in a dark basement, huddled around a table playing D&D.
