Sharp XV-Z3100 Features

DLP: A Technology Everyone Can Benefit From

Projectors based on DLP® technology are cost-effective for home, office, and school. Although comparably priced to alternative technologies, DLP technology's picture reliability and performance consistently outshines them all. DLP projectors are plug-and-play, user-friendly, and can be setup in minutes. With zero hassle, minimal maintenance, and whisper-quiet operation, you can focus on your content and not on your projector.

Finally, Technology Built To Last (And Last)

Thanks to Texas Instrument's ingenuity, Sharp's XVZ3100 Home Theater Front Projector is guaranteed an impressive lifespan. The DLP chip—the brains behind it all—is based on a semiconductor technology: it's 100% digital, and its millions of microscopic mirrors deliver a precise, life-like image. Backed by Texas Instruments' TrueVision Image Processing™ and BrilliantColor Technology™, the image you get from the XVZ3100 projector is vibrant and virtually immune to picture degradation, making Sharp's XVZ3100 DLP projector the obvious choice for long-lasting reliability.

From The Lab To Your Livingroom

When a DLP chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect a digital image onto a screen or other surface. How exactly does this work? A DLP chip's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the projector's light source (ON) or away from it (OFF) — creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The more often a micromirror is switched on, the lighter the gray it is. The more often a micromirror is turned off, the darker the gray it is. Thus images are created by virtue of a series of light and dark areas. So where does the color come from? Well, I was just getting to that . . .

Putting The Color In The Picture

Along with image information, digital video and graphic signals carry color information. The colors are produced after the white light generated by the projector lamp passes through the six segment, 5x color wheel as it travels to the surface (the micromirrors) of the DLP chip. It's the job of the color wheel to filter the light into red, green, and blue. It's the job of the DLP projection system to create the actual color you see based on the color information (i.e. periwinkle) sent from the signal. And since the DLP system can create at least 16.7 million colors, expect exceptional color rendition.

The Difference Is In The Details

It's the Twin Iris System that gives the XVZ3100 its spectacular 6500:1 contrast ratio. What good is contrast ratio, you may ask? A higher contrast ratio means a greater ability to discern fine, detailed differences between the darkest and lightest colors. It means getting the whitest whites and the blackest blacks. It means vibrant images. Still feel the need to tweak? The XVZ3100 also comes with the Color Management System (CMS), which allows you to manually adjust the red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta color characteristics.

Getting Connected

This projector does a spectacular job in getting the most of any signal you send through it and provides all the best options for getting a high quality video signal into it. HDMI, component, RGB/component, composite, and S-Video inputs let you connect popular video sources like DVD players and VCRs, and the XVZ3100 is HDTV compatible so it can display HDTV signals including 1080i, 1035i, and 720p. It's compatible with XGA, SVGA, VGA, and Mac computer monitor connectors, and it even includes an RS-232 interface.

Filter, Filter. Who's Got The Filter?

With the Sharp XVZ3100, filters (and buttons) are a thing of the past. The XVZ3100 comes with sealed optics to prevent dust, dirt, and smoke from entering the vital optic system. The benefit to you, dear consumer, is less maintenance and a longer projector life. See, you can have the best of both worlds.
