Projector Review

Sharp XR-10S Multimedia Projector The multi-use "Educator Series" XR-10S, with 2000 ANSI Lumens brightness and SVGA native resolution, offers high image quality and performance at a remarkably affordable price. Incorporating the latest Texas Instruments DDR DLP display technology with 3x speed, 4-segment color wheel in conjunction with TrueVision? (DDP2000) image processing, the XR-10S delivers superior color quality, brightness and reliability. The projector is an ideal choice for extended-use operation thanks to multiple ultra-quiet cooling fans and extended lamp life. A full complement of inputs and outputs (including RGB-loop through, stereo variable audio line-output and RS-232C) make the projector ideal for "portable" use and higher-end integration as well.

Customer Review: Great machine Short term/Not great long term

I've had 2 of these machines in the last 6 months. There's a reason for the 90 day lamp warranty. If you're lucky like I was, your lamp will burn out before you get to 90 days. One day past that & you'll be paying $300+ for a replacement. Given the initial investment + the $300.00 every 3 months for a new bulb, I'd say this product is barely worth 1 star. The quality of the product is great is you only need it for 90 days. Beware of DLP projectors, especially the SHARP!!!


Customer Review: RIP OFF COMPANY 'WATCH OUT"

There is only a 90 day warranty on the LAMP. I had this item from Sharp for a little over a year. The lamp had 59% life on it but went dark on me. I had to unplug the device numerouse time because after putting it in the sleep mode, the remote wouldn'tallow me tpo turn it back on. It came with a 3 year warranty (24 hour replacemnt)and had it for almost a full week and they are currently holding my Projector hostage. They are claiming that my lamp warranty has expired, I barely used it since I am in school and used it a couple of hours on week days and about 4 to 6 hours on weekends. It dropped from 49% to 63 % in the lamp life and when I sent it in to them it had already dropped to 59% lamp usage. All of this in the economy mode. I wouldn't buy another thing from this company, because the lamp, s/h all comes to almost $600, almost the cost of a brand new projector. In my opinion, SHARP is a SCAMMING Company that lost my business forever.
