I have a unique situation where the house I bought 3 years ago had the Sharp projector and a retractable screen already installed from the previous owner. The setup is the main television for the house. In the living room. I have approximately 10 windows visible from my chair watching TV. 3 of...
Robert, I'm looking at this projector. I've been using the Sharp XV-ZW99U which is rated at 400 lumens, but when I read the review of the EPSON it implies that it really only puts out about 370 lumens. I do not have a dark room for my projector. The Sharp is great after dark but poor during...
Hey scott L, AWESOME JOB! I had gotten the answer emailed to me just before seeing your message. I emailed one of the people who wrote those reviews and he replied with the amswer. Having it verified is GREAT!! But in short yes I tried HT stores in the area, Sharp Website, BestBuy (the...
Well if you can keep the projector and wires fairly well hidden, whats the problem? If you just hard mounted a 16:9 screen on the wall with a classy border it would be the ultimate in "uncluttered". Plus way cheaper than plasma for the 4805, right? Tell her about all the uncluttered looking IKEA...
Is there a vast conspiracy to hide this information or is there just no one on the planet earth that knows? I've searched the web (and this site) and can only find several years worth of people asking. No record of anyone ever answering or anyone finding an answer. Some of the askers were...
My bulb finally went in the Sharp XV-ZW99U. I have tinkered enough to remove the bulb and can install a new one - but how do you reset the lamp timer? Does anyone know? Thanks for any assistance!
I currently have a Sharp XV-ZW99U that was in my house when I bought it. The bulb is getting into the 1300 hour range and with the cost of the bulbs I was thinking of just upgrading the projector. Can you guys give me a feel for how much of an upgrade would this be over my current projector...
Question: I am looking for a replacement bulb for my SharpVision XV-ZW99U projector. The manual says "take it to a Sharp Service Center". No part number or anything. I did a quick Yahoo search and the only site that came up had a price of $342! So the questions are: 1. Is that price about...
My projector does have S-Video input. It also has a 15 pin VGA input, Component, composite, and a 9 pin input. It does not appear to support the RGBhv at least as near as I can tell. If I want to just use one of these inputs, which is best? Component Composite 15-Pin VGA 9-Pin S-Video...
Ah yes. Of course I see what you are talking about now. I understand. And agree. Now then - do you fella's here run your wires into the wall using faceplates? (Run them through a faceplate into the wall) If so, am I right in assuming I will have to buy an expensive cable and immediately take...
Chris thank you for the link that helps a lot. Now for my next question! The very simplest way of doing this for my current setup would be to purchase the 4-ft VGA (15-pin) to 3 RCA connector break-out cable and plumb that into my AVR. Then composite video to the projector. This would feed...
Thanks for the replies. Chris can you explain a little more the 5 RGBhv coax setup? I'm not familiar with RGBhv. By 'breakout cable' do you mean a converter from the VGA 15 pin connector to 5 RCA plug type cables? R, G, B, and I'm not sure what h, and v are! ??
Hey Folks. This is my first post here. I have a question about cabling... I just bought a house that has a SharpVision LCD projector ceiling mounted and a motorized drop down screen already installed in it. I have CAT-5 cable running to my component rack and I want to be able to put a...
