Q33. Why does the image on the screen appear curved or wavy?

Nova is an ultra short throw laser projector that is highly sensitive to the flatness of the surface it's projecting onto. If the wall is uneven, the image may appear curved or wavy. Before setting up your home theater, please make sure that the wall is flat and smooth. To ensure the best image quality, we recommend using a dedicated fixed frame, taut screen like the WEMAX PSA01 ALR Screen.
