Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 8700UB Home Theater Video Projector
[SOLD]. Trade considered (see below).
Prefer a local transaction (Chadds Ford, PA). Only for a LOCAL TRANSACTION, I will include an Epson 8100 for free as well (with issues see below) and a few other odds and ends.
Nice, bright and highly-rated home theater projector from a well-known manufacturer, and with a great picture.
Specs can be found from many places like Projector Central.
Fully functional with one operational issue – it currently has the well-known and documented horizontal blue (top) and pink (bottom) bands usually due to a misaligned polarizer. This is a common problem with all Epson projectors of this design and from this time period (including the 8100, 8350 and others).
According to many internet posts, this issue can be fixed but requires disassembly of the projector. The AVS Forum has a long discussion on how to do this, and you can find the thread by doing a Google search.
The issue has not bothered me, and if I did not get an excellent deal on a current model projector I would be keeping this for a long time.
The lamp currently in the projector is bright and has about 1500 hours (rated at 4000 hours). The lamp was taken from another projector, so the lamp timer on the 8700UB does not reflect the actual hours.
I also have a spare lamp with less than 100 hours on it (recently bought from Ebay).
I have the original box, remote and lens cover.
I bought the 8700UB to replace an Epson Home Cinema 8100 that developed an issue with the auto iris. As indicated above, for a LOCAL TRANSACTION this 8100 will be included for free as it is essentially the same design as the 8700UB, and would make a good source for parts if needed. The auto iris issue could also be repaired, making this a very nice secondary projector as well.
For a LOCAL TRANSACTION, there are a few other odds and ends I can include as well (a small HDMI switch for example).
