Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring a revolutionary, V-shaped design, the 65-inch Sharp 65DR650 DLP HDTV makes for a stylish home theater centerpiece. But it also produces stunning video and audio playback thanks to the Texas Instruments advanced DLP (digital light projection) chip and Faroudja video engine. You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the HDMI or component connections. An analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. You can also use this set to view your PC, with the VGA input.

The 65DR650 features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, which helps to eliminate the jagginess found in non-HD video content. FaroudjaÕs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

This set has a 135-watt lamp, 1280 x 720-pixel resolution, true 16:9 aspect ratio, and a great 1200:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The SmoothPicture technology virtually eliminates pixelization that is noticeable on some other types of TVs. The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home. Other features include picture-in-picture (PIP)

It produces a total of 30 watts of power from the two built-in speakers (15 watts per channel), and the integrated BBE sound enhancement circuitry enhances the mid to high frequencies to create clear crisp dialogue from the TV's internal speakers. It produces virtual surround sound through its two speakers, and can be used as a center channel speaker in a multi-channel surround sound set-up from your home theater receiver. It includes the following line-up of video and audio connection options:

  • Composite audio/video (RCA): 3
  • S-Video: 3
  • Component video: 2
  • HDMI audio/video: 1
  • PC VGA: 1
  • RF: 2 (1 analog, 1 digital)
  • Digital audio: 1 optical, 1 coaxial
  • Center channel input: 1

Tech Talk
A DLP (or digital light projection) system uses an optical semiconductor called the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD, which functions as an extremely precise light switch. The DMD chip contains an array of more than a million hinged, microscopic mirrors. By switching these mirrors on and off up to several thousand times per second, a DLP projection system can translate a digital video or graphic source into a projected image with maximum fidelity.

What's in the Box

1.0 out of 5 stars Very "Bad" TV, December 10, 2008
This review is from: SHARP 65DR650 65-Inch HDTV Ready DLP Rear Projection TV (Electronics)
Nice TV design ,BUT it starts off with a humming noise, then it gets louder and louder, also after about 4ms it's starts to crack and make loud noises when you turn it off, and these are problems no one has a fix for. do some reseach on this TV before you buy it, NOT GOOD.

4.0 out of 5 stars junk, January 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SHARP 65DR650 65-Inch HDTV Ready DLP Rear Projection TV (Electronics)
We get a lot of comments on how big our TV is. (I am not compensating for anything either!) We haven't had any problems with our TV. The only thing that bothers me is the low humming of the DLP module, but it is only noticeable when the volume is low. The picture is great, not distorted due to the size. The delivery company brought it right to the door, and set up was simple. Don't be afraid to buy this big of a TV online. It is awesome for watching the outdoor channel.

1/1/11 Not sure if you can by this modle any more. Our color wheel went out, (the color wheel is the cause of the low humming noise) I have found it to ba a common problem for this TV. Type 65DR650 into a google search and you will find mostly posts looking for replcement color wheel. The color wheel is not available seperatly from a sharp dealer. It is only avialble as part of the light engine. $1200 dollars from a Sharp dealer.

Bottom line: Junk - I will not buy another Sharp product the rest of my life.
