Tai Huynh Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Hi all, I have an opportunity to purchase a good condition x5500 for $2500, is that a good buy? I am geared up with 1080p source and current projector is AE4000. Are there things that I need to be aware when inspecting the device? Thanks all in advance. Tai
Quark Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 At $2.5K, I'd probably try to negotiate a little off, especially if hours are high. When inspecting, check for convergence (how close the red, green, blue sub-pixels align) and even focus across the whole image. Also check the hours - much over 2000 hours you're probably not far from a lamp change, especially if it's been run on high lamp. If a replacement lamp fitted, be wary of aftermarket crud - some aftermarket stuff is fine, but there's a lot of rubbish. 1
