What We Check

What our inspections look like

Every projector we buy is inspected in person in Richmond, MN. We photograph it, power it on, and test it before we pay. Below are real inspections from our bench.

Powered On and Tested

We tested it before paying

The unit was powered up on the bench, run through a built-in test pattern to check the panel, and we read the service menu for light-source hours and firmware.

Condition and Result

Flawless grade

We inspect every unit at close range. Even under raking light, this one showed only a few trivial marks near the lens-shift dials, nothing that affects its grade. It came in exactly as described and graded Flawless.

A Different Outcome

And one we adjusted

Not every projector arrives matching its quote. This Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS650 was quoted as brand new and sealed. It came in opened and used, with minor cosmetic wear. We inspected it the same way, and here is what we found and how we handled it.

Condition

The reason for the adjustment

Condition was the only issue. It was not sealed or new, and there are minor scuffs and scratches on the housing, shown below at close range.
