ViewSonic PX701-4K 4K UHD 3200 Projector

Received via FedEx on Jan 20 at around 3:30pm. Immedietly I took it out of the box and inspected it for any damage or missing parts. All looked excellent, like a brand new projector, so I plugged it into an AC outlet and turned it on to make sure it would at least produce an image and got nothing. So I plugged an HDMI cable into a laptop and into the projector and was then able to turn it on and got some kind of image projected on a wall. It seems the projector is set up to turn on only when there is an HDMI source present. So I shut down the projector and proceeded to remove my old Benq W1070 and mount the ViewSonic in its place. After plugging in the power cord and HDMI cables, I turned it on and got a good clear image on the screen, but inverted because it was ceiling mounted. I found the setting on the remote to invert the image then started to adjust the mount so that the image was centered on the screen correctly when suddenly the projector shut off. No warnings, no heat indicator lights were lit and no fans continued to run like after a normal shutdown. Waited about 5 minutes and was able to restart the projector and make a few changes to some settings when after about 4 minutes, it shut off again. I went through this a couple more times, trying not to move the projector each time, but this last time I had to wait maybe 20 minutes before I could turn it on. However this time since the image was pretty well centered on the screen I thought I’d watch some YouTube videos. I was able to go for maybe a half hour, and without warning, it simply shut off again. Well I’ve had enough, so I unmounted the ViewSonic and re-mounted the Benq and started that up without any problems. Set up the return to ViewSonic and I’ll be driving the it over to the UPS store this morning to have it sent back and get a full refund on it. In the past I’ve had good luck with refurbished electronics from Amazon, but not this time.
