Trying to pin down what kind of work the XGA-Resolution Sharp PG-45X3D DLP Projector does best is like playing Whack-a-Mole. Every time you think you've nailed it down, up pops another capability in a completely different scenario.
Let's start with the basics. With 4500 lumens of brightness at a 2500:1 contrast ratio it can project a brilliant image just about anywhere.
No matter what you use it for, you're going to love the crisp, vivid, saturated images its Texas Instruments BrilliantColor DLP DMD imaging chip creates. In fact, those Digital Micromirror Devices are so speedy they can even create 3-D images. There are already lots of 3-D lessons available so the 45X3D would make a great education projector.
But wait a second. This thing can do 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition. That means it would make a great home theater projector too.
Take a closer look at those specs. It can project in the NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60 and SECAM video standards, it's got a 17-language OSD (on-screen display) and it's got a power supply that can handle from 100 to 240 volts. They sound like the kind of specs you'd expect in a corporate projector.
And closed captioning is not just for the hard of hearing. It also comes in handy when presenting to people for whom English is a second language or when you have to project in a noisy environment, like a student assembly, a football game party or a trade show.
So you'll have to make up your own mind. Is it an education projector? Is it a home theater projector? Or is it a corporate projector? We think no matter what kind of projector you're looking for, the Sharp PG-45X3D will do an outstanding job for you.
