The university has a deal with Epson, and we have two Epson portable projectors. They extend the warranty to 3 years, and they seem durable. The rep (at least when I dealt with him) was very knowledgable about the product line. Here's the information, don't know if he's still the rep. Epson America has a special program with MSU Stores for pricing and 3 year warranty on Epson projectors and accessories. Please contact Linda Gardner at MSU Stores at 517/355-1700 x196. Please contact me if you need additional assistance.
