Are refurbished Infocus projectors a good deal?

I'm about to buy (on ebay) a refurbished Screenplay 4805, and I wanted advice before I buy: will the refurb be "as good as new", is a 90 day warranty good for a refurb, is it better to get the refurb directly from Infocus rather than from a private seller, etc. Thanks, Ben

Typically refurbished gear has been completely gone through, and check to insure everything works correctly. Questions will remain about the absolute quality, but it should be a safe gamble.

Well if it's cheap enough and you feel lucky,go for it. Me,I wouldn't buy any projector,without a good warranty and or exchange--(90 days ain't to long)--or as they say,you pay your money and take your chances.

Some products make sense, like power amps. Projectors are finicky at the best of times.

Personally, if I was to by a refurb like that, I would buy it from Infocus direct, and see about getting a longer warranty.
