eBay projectors

[Wundej]

I've seen a few mentions of people getting decent off brand projectors on eBay but haven't seen any specifics.

Has anyone bought one of the cheaper projectors and had decent success?

I'm probably going to have it mounted around 10-12' from the screen. Haven't settled on screen size yet but have one of the Direct from Mill screens at 17' wide. Most likely end up at either 4x3 or 16x9 at 9' tall.

It doesn't have to be the best in the world for now, just looking for something acceptable to project FSX for now. I realize I'm going to sacrifice some brightness and quality with a cheaper unit, just looking for feedback on lower cost options.

Are there any good refurbs on eBay that you'd suggest?

I bought a Ultra Short Throw projector off eBay and it worked out great for me. I didn't have much cash to spend so I went through and found a few that I thought looked good, then did some research on them to pick out the one I thought to be the best, and then bid on it. Has a great picture as you can see and hasn't given me any trouble and I have had it for 4 years now.
