Hi I'm Phil, new to the forums as a commenter. I have bought one of these special order from Richer Sounds. It had a six year warranty through them. Had it for a month and mine is good. The image is square and it is projected onto a wall. The wavy photos look bad but mine is fine. It must be a mirror manufacturing issue and I have got lucky. The one issue I had is that if you plug in a speaker you have to mute the internal speaker and the mute logo remains onscreen. Only fix is using an AV receiver. Also there is obviously some fan noise but there is with all bright projectors. It's my first projector for non business presenting use but I am very pleased with mine. I guess don't buy online but buy in a shop and get them to unbox and test it before you go home, that's what I did as I had never seen one.
