Sorry that was wrong...
I meant to say Vertically the screen is not affected but it is
horizontally. The closer you get to the left or right of the screen the
worse the ghosting gets. The picture is almost clear in the center,
although there is some slight gosting, it is very faint.
On some projectors this is caused by heat warping various parts of the
imaging components. On at least one NEC model, it's the polarizing
filters that warp.

Thanks for the reply Jak.

I had hoped to hear that the likely problem was electronic in nature
rather than mechanical. I've never taken a projector completely apart and
honestly, don't know what the filters look like or where they're located.

Are replacements easy to come by? I suppose I can live with it the way
it is.. I only paid about $65 for it (wokring properly) and the composit
input scaling sucks.

The only motivation I have to fix it is the hassle of disposing of things
here..
I only put that out as a possibility. There are projector forums dealing
specifically with such things. Google the model number.

Thanks Jak,

Unfortunately this is a Japanese model only available in Japan. Although it
makes sense since I'm in JP... Too bad I don't know more of the language I
could decipher what the google results were.
