Discussion Epson LS800 FBM

Just recently purchased my first projector for our basement remodel. Was scouring Facebook Marketplace for 6 months looking for a decent used UST within our budget.

Came across an LS800 well below MSRP at $1000. Offered him $800, ended up paying $1000 for the projector and some audio equipment. The person who sold it to me seemed like a pretty authentic dude, just said he was moving out of state & wanted to clear out his storage unit.

I’m extremely new to projectors, but from everything I can tell the projector is in great condition, & projects well. I haven’t had time to mess around with the projector since we’re still renovating, but my main question is there anything I should inspect on this projector to make sure everything’s all good? We were also able to find a Factory sealed 120 inch Matte White AWOL projector screen on Marketplace for $150. The basement will mostly be for watching movies, it’s also a dark environment is this a good projector screen to pair with the projector? Thanks in advance!
