Sharp’s New Ultra-Bright XG-PH70X Large Venue DLP Projector
The future’s so bright at Sharp, you gotta wear shades - literally. Sharp has just announced their new XG-PH70X which blasts out an amazing 5200 ANSI lumens brightness and gives a whole new meaning to “Don’t look towards the light!” But lumens themselves don’t make a projector shine, so Sharp included a few other features as well - specifically a horizontal and vertical lens shift which allows for an amazing amount of flexibility when installing the projector. Adding to that flexibility is the availability of six different lenses, ranging from short to long throws and allowing for a screen size of up to 500 inches diagonally. Lastly, the projector has a mind of its own it seems with Sharp’s powerful Computer Integrated Video Composer II Video Processor which is touted as “smoothing jagged edges, minimizing image noise, and creating a perfectly rectangular image with keystoned images.” Though with the lens shift capabilities of this projector, you shouldn’t need to worry about keystones except in the most awkward projector positions; still - it’s good to know it’s there if you need it. Other specifications for the new XG-PH70X and the lensless XG-PH70XN version include a single XGA (1024 x 768) DLP chip, a 1200:1 contrast ratio, and wired networking functionality for remote management. Both will be available in March with the XG-PH70X costing $8495.00 and the XG-PH70XN costing $7995.00.
