Make sure you don’t get scammed on a projector, always make sure to look at the native resolution, not the “supported” one. Also make sure to verify the lumens, all the listings with 10.000 lumens are using a different kind of lumens than those with 800 - 3000.
Last but not least, I wouldn’t get anything used with over 2000 lamp hours.

How do you “verify” the brightness? Is there like a “thermomether”, but for brightness?

Verifying yourself wasn’t what I meant, sorry that was a bit unclear. I meant make sure you don’t fall for marketing bs, and maybe try to use the same good source of info for comparison. I usually compare projector specs on www.projectorcentral.com, they have specs on the vast majority of projectors out there.

There is tools like Lux meters that measures that.
In that case I think the other commenter was suggesting that a lot of marketing bullshit can be misleading. So dont trust the marketing stuff and go for trusted reviewers.
The brightness is an important value for a VP.
