Hi Gurus,
I have narrowed my PJ search to the epson TW8200. I am in Bangalore, India and the best price I was quoted was 2,15,000. It only costs 2600 $ in the US, even with sales tax works out to 1,75.000.
I have a close friend who is coming to Bangalore from the US. Question is whether I should bite the bullet and purchase it here or save some bucks and have my friend bring it over?
Some considerations:
- 110V versus 220V. The specifications seems to suggest the projector has universal voltage, will work on either voltage without a convertor. Is this true?
- Warranty. Will EPSON India honour warranty of item purchased in US?
- Pros and cons of damage in baggage. My friend has agreed to bring it with the original box in his cabin luggage. Any issues with that?
Is there anything else I am missing?
Thanks in advance
