4000 ANSI Lumens combined with DLP™ Technology
Ensures Eye-Popping Brightness and Realistic Colorimetry
4000 ANSI Lumens Brightness
with Unique "Intelligent" Dual
Lamp System
With Sharp's advanced DLP™ Optical
Engine, matched with dual 250W high-
brightness lamps, the XG-PH50X achieves
4000 ANSI Lumens, with excellent contrast
and uniformity, delivering bright, clear
images in large highly-lit rooms.
4-Mode Single/Dual Lamp Switch-
over
With Sharp's Intelligent Dual Lamp System, you
can choose the lamp arrangement to suit your
needs. When both lamps are utilized, the
XG-PH50X delivers 4000 ANSI Lumens in
standard mode and 3000 ANSI Lumens in low-
power "eco" mode. When only a single lamp is
used, the projector provides 2000 ANSI Lumens
in standard mode, and 1500 ANSI Lumens in
"eco" mode. In single-lamp mode, the
projector can be set up to alternate between
lamps (with the projector automatically
switches from one lamp to the other after
approximately 100 hours). This helps
maintain even brightness, and minimize bulb
purchases. Sharp's Dual Lamp System further
provides "redundant reliability" - an
important consideration in mission critical
applications. In the event one lamp should
fail, the second lamp ensures continued
The DLP™ Advantage
Consider these DLP™
Advantages of the XG-PH50X
• Superior Reliability - Estimated DMD™
Life of approximately 20,000 hours with no
image degradation
• 1000:1 Contrast Ratio - For sharper, more
detailed images with higher black levels
• Faster Pixel Switching - For full-motion
reproduction without blur, smear or ghosting
• "Seamless" images - Without annoying
pixelization or "screen door" effect
• Smoother Video Performance - With vivid,
more accurate colors
• No Convergence Adjustments - One panel
design means no fuzzy, misaligned images
• Quieter Operation - 35 dB in standard mode;
33 dB in "eco" mode
Power Zoom, Focus and H&V
Lens Shift!
In addition to power zoom and focus, the
XG-PH50X offers powered H&V (horizontal
and vertical) lens shift. This allows
exceptionally flexible projector placement,
while minimizing keystone distortion.
Six Interchangeable Lenses
For use in almost any size venue, a total of
six optional lenses are available. This
enables continuous throw ratios from 1.5 to
7.0. Five of the lenses are motorized; the
sixth is a 0.8 fixed focus. [Note, the
projector may be purchased either with a
standard 1:1.2x power zoom lens attached
("XG-PH50X"), or without lens ("XG-
PH50X-NL").]
Sharp's industry-leading CV-IC technology and
ImageACE resizing ensure compatibility with
an exceptionally wide range of input sources
and signal configurations.

DLP™ System*
The XG-PH50X employs a DLP™ display
device system which outshines the
alternatives because, being mirror-based,
they use light more efficiently. While other
technologies lose a certain amount of light
in transit, the microscopic mirrors in this
system bring more light from lamp to
screen. The hundreds of thousands of
mirrors in the DLP™ Digital Micromirror
Device (DMD™) are spaced less than one
micron apart, resulting in a very high "fill
factor". By minimizing the gaps between
pixels in a projected image, DLP™
projections systems create a "seamless"
digital picture that's sharp at any size
without pixelation or "screen door" effect.
Long-life High-Performance
DMD™ Panel
DMD™ silicon chip formation with finely
structured mirrors provides stable performance
and delivers high-quality pictures for longer
periods. The DMD™ chip and color wheel in the
XG-PH50X achieves a lifetime of up to 20,000
hours*. Also, because there is no burn-in or
remaining after-image, the projectors are ideal
for still picture projection such as guidance board
applications and projecting CAD images.
*The lifespan is measured at the surrounding temperature of
25ºC. This is a reference value and is not guaranteed.
DDR DLP™ with Sealed Optics
The XG-PH50X utilizes the latest DDR (Double
Data Rate) DLP™ technology - incorporating a 4-
segment, 3-speed color wheel with sealed optics.
This provides higher contrast (1000:1), with
superior color accuracy and dependability. The
sealed optics minimize dust, dirt and smoke from
entering the system. This ensures maximum
reliability (with minimal maintenance) - even
during extended use.
