Sharp XR32X Multimedia Projector Reviews
The other poster used the word "stunning" and that is a good description. I was amazed at the sharpness and color this projector outputs. I needed a projector for presentations that was pretty bright and easy to carry around. On "High" it is somewhat noisy if you sit next to it, but not too distracting, especially if you have the sound up at a normal volume. I could find lots of standard resolution projectors in the 5-600 dollar range, but saw this one at a local discount club that was $700 that has XGA 1024x780 resolution. We are enjoying large screen HDTV. I have a HDTV OTA tuner box that has DVI-D output. I tried buying this projector from Amazon, but they fouled up the shipping instructions for the free shipping so I bought it at the Big Box discount club for $40 more.
I use the tuner box for outputting the sound instead of the projector speaker. Since I don't have a HDTV, I thought this might be a way to get double-duty out of the projector. It also has a built in up-converting DVD player as well. For a presentation the internal speaker works fine. I have made a 72" homemade movable screen for it.
I got a DVI-D cable and hooked up the tuner box to this projector and WOW. The menus of the projector are pretty easy to understand and it is really quiet if you choose the dimmer bulb mode. I think you would like this projector.
I am using this as a home theatre projector and it comes well-equipped for that job. I've only had this projector for a couple of days but it looks stunning on my 10' screen (106" diagonnal 16:9). yet blacks are black and colors are vibrant. It replaced an HP VP 6320 that I really loved and this looks just as good. I am using it to view HD-DVD's and Blu Ray discs, and while it doesn't do 1080P, it does handle 1080i and 720P with perfection.
Bright enough for a normal room with normal lighting (you don't have to turn off lights to see this bright picture. It has a DVI-D port (easy to find adapter that changes it to an HDMI) and it is DHCP compliant so there are no upscaling issues or other "digital rights" problems. The cheapest 1080p projector out there is still well-over 2 thousand dollars, so if you aren't quite ready to sell out $2500 for a 1080p projector, consider the Sharp XR-32X, which renders perfection on the screen for less than $800 ($795 at Sam's and Amazon).
