The SharpVision XV-Z7000U offers viewers a state-of-the-art home theater experience, in multiple video formats, thanks to HDTV input-compatibility at 1080I/720P/480P/480I video scan rates in either RGB or Y/PB/PR color space. The XV-Z7000U also offers an exceptional 300:1 contrast ratio for crisp, clear images. SharpVision’s unique 3D Uniformity Correction Circuitry guarantees accurate color reproduction from corner to corner, no matter what size screen is used (25" – 300"), and Sharp’s 3:2 pull-down circuitry detects film sources to produce exceptionally accurate progressive scan images.


In Theater Mode, the XV-Z7000U enhances picture quality, produces deeper blacks and richer colors in low light environments while simultaneously cutting the lamp output power for longer life. Video performance can also be enhanced through its 4-position Gamma Correction and 4-position Color Temperature Selection features.

The XV-Z7000U is compatible with a wide variety of digital home entertainment units, as it features two Component Video Inputs that allow for connection to HDTV tuners, high-end DVD players, digital satellite receivers and other digital video sources.

The XV-Z7000U is Sharp’s quietest home theater projector to date, with less than 36dB of fan noise. Weighing less than 6 pounds, the XV-Z7000U is Sharp’s lightest and easiest to install, making it an unbeatable widescreen LCD digital front projector in its price range.

Other standard features include a 1/1.2 manual zoom, an RS-232C input that allows interfacing with custom audio/video control systems, a 2-prong detachable AC power cord, an Electronic Lens Shift feature and Digital Keystone Correction for more difficult installations. The energy-saving XV-Z7000U consumes only 200W of power and uses a 150W UHP lamp with expected life of 1500 hours (2000 in Theater Mode). The unit also offers a wireless remote with phosphorescent keys.
