Outstanding Performance and High-Quality Reliability

High Brightness of 2500 ANSI Lumens
Sharp's advanced optoelectronics technology maximizes light output, providing crystal clear images in amazingly high brightness.

Low Fan Noise
The DLP high-speed colour wheel with non-contact Fluid Dynamic Bearings together with ultra-quiet cooling fans reduce unpleasant noise, enabling quiet operation at 29dB in Eco+Quiet mode. The fan noise is so quiet it causes no disturbance even in meetings or school classes.

Filter-Free Design
The DLP sealed system prevents dust, dirt and smoke from entering core parts of the optics to a much greater degree. The system also needs no filter and less maintenance, resulting in lower cost of ownership and longer use.

Long-Life High-Performance DLP Picture With the DLP chip minimally absorbing high-output light, the projectors maintain uniform colour reproduction capability for a long period of time. Also, the formation of this device with finely structured mirrors provides stable performance and delivers high-quality pictures for longer periods. In the XR-32X/32S, the chip contributes to a long lifespan. In addition, because there is no burn-in or remaining afterimage, the projectors are ideal for still picture projection such as for guidance board applications and projecting CAD images.

Cutting Edge Technology Provides High-Quality Picture

2200:1 (XR-32X)/2000:1 (XR-32S) High-Contrast, High-Quality Image By utilizing the DLP optical system and Sharp’s optical technology, the projectors produce crisp details and sharper blacks in black parts thanks to a 2200:1 high contrast ratio (XR-32X) (2000:1 for the XR-32S). This system reproduces crisp clear details not only for scenery but even for black parts.

DVI Terminal with DLP System for Full Digital Projection (XR-32X only)
Full digital projection with the DVI input terminal and DLP system enables virtually noise-free images from digital sources. The terminal also complies with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) to support digital video content in high-definition.

IP Conversion Image Processing
Image Processing provides optimal video performance. The motion-adaptive scan images produce smooth moving scenes and ensure smooth natural lines and edges for 480I and 576I.

High-Resolution Seamless Images from DLP Chip Using DLP chip, each pixel is individually composed of one of over a half a million micromirrors to produce a high resolution, and the micromirrors lie at a distance of merely one micron, providing a seamless finely detailed picture. Also, high-speed on/off switching delivers smooth moving scenes.

3X Speed Color Wheel
The projectors employ a color wheel with a 3x speed engine, improving colour break-up to an invisible level. Also, the non-contact Fluid Dynamic Bearings for lifespan.

Intuitive Design and Functions to Support Presentation Convenience

Front Exhaust Engine The new projector series has an exhaust engine on the front so that the viewers can remain focused on the screen without distractions of noise and air which may disturb viewers.

Direct Power Off Switching
Direct Power Off lets users immediately unplug the projector and take it from the location. In addition, it also helps control the power simultaneously for multiple projectors by using the room’s primary power switch with the auto restart function.

Quick Start
It takes only approx. 3 seconds to project the image.

Setup Guide for Interactive Operation
The Setup Guide provides intuitive OSD images to show the next step interactively for setup including focus, zoom and height adjustment.

Interactive Help Menu
The Help Menu displays any problems and assists the user in solving problems with operation.

Presentation Assist Remote Control
A variety of functions can all be performed with the projector remote control to aid your presentations including mouse control and page up and down. In addition, the following functions have been added for further performance. Pointers: Five pointer icon shapes can be used to impressively draw attention to your subject. Spotlights: Three spotlight sizes, ranging from 1/25 to 1/9 or 1/8 the screen, provide effects to focus on the specified subject.

One-Touch Advance Picture Mode
Quickly and directly choose the appropriate settings for the picture mode and lamp brightness to match the intended application.

Multiple Connections

Multiple Input Terminals
Projectors can be connected to DVD players, cable or satellite boxes, laptop and desktop computers, HDTV tuners, VCRs and video game consoles.

Other Outstanding Features

• Condenser Lens Optics: Crisp detail, sharper black and ghost-less image.
• 4:3 and 16:9 Aspect Ratios and HDTV/DTV and DVD Compatible
• Image Shift Function: Images projected in 16 x 9 format can be vertically shifted for better viewing in limited spaces.
• Theft Deterrent Functions: System Lock and Kensington Security Standard Connector
• Key Lock Function

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice projector for the price, August 6, 2008

This review is from: Sharp XR32SL Multimedia Projector (Office Product)

I just bought the XR-32S early this week for $475 (ad special at Fy's) not too bad for a 2500 lumens projector.
My primary use is for projecting movies, outputted from my Macbook Pro, onto a Gemmy 12-foot inflatable screen in the backyard. This definitely does the trick in terms of brightness.
The contrast looks good; picture quality is a little more than sufficient. If you get close, the picture does look a little pixilated when projecting from some distance. Slight squares are present, but not too distracting. Indoors, the picture looks great.

Advice for other Mac users--
The SHARP XR-32S DOES NOT have Mac DVI input, I needed to buy a separate DVI-VGA converter. It claimed to be Mac-compatible out of the box - definitely not the case.

The SHARP XR-32X is Mac compatible requiring no converter cable.
I wish I would have known that before buying.

This projector is being used for a new start-up church. The projection is crystal clear. The keystone effect easily fixes the trapezoid picture formed when the projector isn't level with the screen.

This is a nice projector, arrived in new condition. The down side of this projector is that the fan blows to the side and it is hot air. Just get used to standing on the opposite side from the fan.
