Don’t buy it — get the Epson 3800 instead

Stronger buy if you value

upfront cost savings and brightness output, and you accept some quality variance.

Weaker buy if you value

consistent overall quality — recurring complaints here suggest it's a real pattern, not isolated gripes.

The failure mode

Not measured

Reliability is unknown — only 5 long-term owners reported back, too few to compute a failure rate. Isolated reports mention focal uniformity, the built-in streaming player, thermal/shutdown, power/shutdown, and imaging/color issues, but no pattern can be established from these counts.

How sentiment ages

The honeymoon

Early owners rate it at 67%, reflecting cautious optimism around value and brightness.

A year of ownership

Long-term sentiment drops sharply to 26% — the tone sours considerably with extended ownership.
