Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring a revolutionary, V-shaped design, the 56-inch Sharp 56DR650 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 56DR650 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars The honey moon is over..., November 8, 2006
It was great for 6 months... but please do not... I repeat... do not buy this television. This is a discontinued item. I brought this TV last November 2005 only had it for 6 months. And now it's been nothing but one big headache. This thing started making strange wining noises. And couldn't get any picture. At first they thought it was the lamp that needed replacing. Not!
Still waiting to find out what's wrong with this thing. I know I probably got a defective television. But I wish I would had brought my 61 panasonic TV instead of this thing. Oh well, 2553 down the drain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't replace color wheel w/o getting a new light engine ($$$1.5 - 2k), September 13, 2009
By Cara F. Ferreira (McDonough, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can't believe any retailer is still trying to sell this TV...it has problems that Sharp is already aware of...notice how they don't attempt to build/sell/service 56 inch screen DLPs anymore.

Mine went out after 24 months. No warranty. Light engine was replaced by Sharp for free, b/c I got on the phone and pleaded a case that the part was more expensive than the TV. They said after this one time generosity, I'd be on my own. I thought that was fair. Kudos to Sharp for making it right.

However, I thought it was my duty to inform you of the problem.

BTW: The light engine is the millions mirrors, etc...it is dynamically built in w/ the color wheel. bad design. I think they learned from the problem and have started to build the TVs better.

I bought an LG for my bedroom and a Toshiba for my bonus room. I've had better experiences w/ both. I hear Samsung is good too. Pick LCD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible TV! Do not buy!, December 27, 2008
We purchased this TV in December of 2005 for about $2500. It was great for one year until it started making terrible noises and the picture stopped. Fortunately we bought a warranty, but it cost over $1800 to repair it (which the warranty covered). Within a year, the bulb burned out and this time the warranty wouldn't cover it. We would have had to invest another $5-600 again to make this repair. We tried contacting Sharp hoping to get some assistance since at this point, the repairs on the TV now almost exceeded the original cost of the set to begin with! Sharp refused to help. Please, please, please do not buy this TV!
