Pros

  • The BenQ TH575 or Epson 1080 are good alternatives. ... The Epson in particular lacks the sharpness of the DLPs but is a certified light canon cable of driving enormous screens.
  • Get a Benq th575 or Epson 1080 on sale
  • Check the throw you need but the Epson 1080 or 1085 or the Benq th575 or 585 all go on sale for $500.
  • Depending on throw distance I’d wait til a sale came up on a Benq th575 or Epson 1080 which sometimes go as low as $500ish.
  • The Epson 1080 is plenty bright and will look decent.

Cons

  • Epson 880, 1080, 1060, 980
  • 75 inches and that budget better a TV or an Epson 1080 but its 1.2 too
  • Just purchased this off marketplace to upgrade from sons cheap victsing for our golf simulator. Very disappointed even in a shop with zero light or windows it is not as bright or clear as sons cheapo.
  • The projector has shitty contrast (15000:1)

I run my epson 1080 until I hit 5000 hours I run in ECO mode but when the bulb gets to 2000 or 3000 hours when you turn on the projector it has to run at full power for a few minutes to pressurize the bulb if not you get light flicker

An open box Epson 1080 will be perfect for you. Brand new retail is $500 and open box will Be less. That will get you an actual real-deal Epson projector that will not burn itself out.
