Outstanding Performance and High-Quality Reliability

High Brightness of 2600 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 Home Theatre Replacement Projector Sharp XR-32X, September 6, 2008

I've only had this projector for a couple of days but it looks stunning on my 10' screen (106" diagonnal 16:9).
It replaced an HP VP 6320 that I really loved and this looks just as good.
I am using this as a home theatre projector and it comes well-equipped for that job. 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.
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. yet blacks are black and colors are vibrant.
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Double Duty Projector worthy of HDTV, October 24, 2008

This review is from: Sharp XR32XL Multimedia Projector (Office Product)

I needed a projector for presentations that was pretty bright and easy to carry around. 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. Since I don't have a HDTV, I thought this might be a way to get double-duty out of the projector. I have a HDTV OTA tuner box that has DVI-D output. It also has a built in up-converting DVD player as well. I got a DVI-D cable and hooked up the tuner box to this projector and WOW! I was amazed at the sharpness and color this projector outputs. The other poster used the word "stunning" and that is a good description. The menus of the projector are pretty easy to understand and it is really quiet if you choose the dimmer bulb mode. 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 use the tuner box for outputting the sound instead of the projector speaker. For a presentation the internal speaker works fine. 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 think you would like this projector. I have made a 72" homemade movable screen for it. We are enjoying large screen HDTV!

I find this unit amazing. The picture is as clear as any flat screen, except as large as you like. Mine throws to a 120 inch screen, across a 30 foot room and does very well in daylight. I use it for cable, computer, DVDs, etc.. Much better than a conventional TV, in that when the screen is raised, the whole viewing experience takes up no wall space. None better in this price range.
