Sharp XV-Z2000 DLP projector

Sharp have just introduced their new XV-Z2000 Hi-Vision Home Theatre Projector. It's a DLP projector and Sharp are releasing it first to the Hong Kong market.

As the DMD? projection device*2, the heart of DLP? systems*1, the XV-Z2000 uses the latest DMD? HD2+ chip set, the same device incorporated into their high-end projector model*3, which Sharp claim features significantly improved light utilization efficiency.

The XV-Z2000 delivers Hi-Vision (high definition) image resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) combined with a high contrast ratio of 2500:1. Sharp proudly state "Viewers will enjoy rich, vivid video images with outstanding color depth, a wide dynamic range and superb image quality".

Plus, combining this optical technology with a powerful 275W lamp, the XV-Z2000 yields a brightness of 1,200 ANSI lumen, approximately 70% brighter than their previous model*4.

In addition to reproducing natural colours even more vividly, viewers can enjoy impressive 100-inch big-screen pictures even in rooms as small as 3.5 square meters thanks to the 1:1.5 short focal length lenses. Moreover, even when the XV-Z2000 is mounted on the ceiling, the motorized zoom lens makes it possible to adjust the screen size and focus by using the remote control unit.

The XV-Z2000 is being offered as a Hi-Vision Home Theatre Projector combining high image quality with high image resolution, plus a diverse range of installation options and adjustment features.

*1 Digital Light Processing? (DLP?) system is an all-digital display technology that projects images using reflected light by controlling a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a precision semiconductor-based “light switch” array of several hundred thousand of individually addressable, tiltable, mirror-pixels formed on a silicon substrate. DLP? systems yield, in principle, film-like images with high contrast and little color unevenness, and are regarded as ideal for use in home theater projectors. The number of cinemas and large-venue displays using video projectors based on the 3-DMD chip system found in the DLP Cinema? projection system is also increasing.

*2 DMD? (Digital Micromirror Device) Element, a precision device in which several hundred thousand of micromirrors are arrayed on a silicon substrate
