Review Summary
The Sharp PG-D50X3D XGA DLP Projector is a powerful corporate, educational or home theater projector which can display 720p/1080i high-definition images that light up a screen with a blazing 5000 lumens at a crisp 2500:1 contrast ratio. With power like that you can leave the lights on and take notes regardless of the ambient light level. Also of note is the 3D support which the projector offers with both 60 Hz and 120 Hz XGA and SVGA sources, as well as standard content. Now you can add a feeling of depth to your educational, corporate or architectural presentations to make them truly distinctive.
You'll also get remarkably vivid and saturated color courtesy of BrilliantColor, which increases color accuracy while it increases color brightness by up to 50% over panels without it. In addition to red, green and blue, its spectrum includes their complements: cyan, magenta and yellow. What's more, DLP projectors require no filters that have to be cleaned and replaced.
The PG-D50X3D's wide connectivity includes DVI, S-video and composite as well as a stereo audio line-out to balance external speaker levels with the built-in 10 W projector system. Audio Pass Through allows you to use the audio output even when the unit is in standby mode. An LAN connector allows for remote operation, messaging and monitoring using the free downloadable Sharp Display Manager Software. Other convenience features include enhanced anti-theft measures, sliding lens cover, safety shutter door on the lamp housing and a remote with laser pointer, spotlight and mouse control.
Once you get used to this sort of quality you'll be happy to know that the PG-D50X3D works almost everywhere. It's NTSC, PAL and SECAM compatible; it's got a 17 language on-screen display (OSD) and a power supply that can handle 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. To make sure you reach your entire audience the PG-D50X3D decodes and displays closed-captioning information from programming that provides it. Not only does this help the hearing-impaired, but it's ideal in noisy environments like the gym and it just might help you to remember some of that snappy dialogue from your favorite movie.
