The Nixon VPL550 seems to be the most popular scam projector at the current moment. Dozens of these on Facebook & Kijiji for sale ranging from $300 all the way up to $5000. Seems like quite the variance in pricing for a product of such stature. Almost like it’s too good to be true…
No online retailers seem to carry them and the only site linking to them is ProjectorReviews.ca — amazing that such a top quality product has no mentions online other than 1 website. For myself, the biggest red flag would be the build quality and finish of a so called ‘high-end’ projector. The finish is horrendous and not even close to what you would expect from a known manufacturer.
Some of the unfortunate souls that have purchased this brand have experienced beyond subpar image quality and no sound output. This brand, such as the others listed on the site have mislead the public by outright lying about the specifications on the product.
Pictured above, the Nixon VPL560 which has an MSRP of nearly $8,500.oo CAD, looks like it should sell for around $5 at the local thrift shop. This is not what an $8500 projector looks like.
