Hmm really? My 8500 never had a problme… If I dident trade mine for my 700 dollar projector I’d let you borrow it, I had everything :rofl

I’ve heard a main problem with them is that they go into self cal mode from overheating and being in a hot car etc… but who knows

I need to get another one, or maybe the 9500 this time
