Optoma warranty for projectors
The short version
Optoma doesn't cover everything, but keeps home laser projector and data projector covered to 5 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 6 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Optoma's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded
What it leaves out
- Normal wear and tear
- Overheating
- Water damage
Good to know before you buy
- Covers the original buyer only and only for products bought in the US or Canada.
- File within 30 days of purchase and Optoma pays shipping both ways; after that it pays one way.
- Dimming brightness over time is treated as normal wear, not a defect.
- Registering online is recommended to speed up service.
