3 comments about Sharp XR-30X Compact DLP Projector.
- I have been using this projector for classroom Power Point presentations and it has been great. It works fine in a well lit environment, although if you have very detailed graphics or want richly saturated colors you may have to dim the lights. It has been easy to use and I have had no issues whatsoever. For the price it is a very good buy.
- I am the lead installer for a company that installs RealHomeTheaters, so hopefully my experience can be of some help.
This projector has a 1024x768 resolution which is a 4:3 ratio. So, in 16:9 mode (widescreen) your effective pixels will not be true HD. Also it has no HDMI inputs and with today's technology HDMI is a must have.
For home theater consider a Mitsubishi HC1500 or a Panasonic PT-AX200 be sure to read my reviews on them too.
Hope this helps get your RealHomeTheaters off the ground!
- [I've been an Ed. Tech. for 37 years] Dang this Sharp XR-30X DLP projector I just bought! I got it for our elementary school's auditorium gatherings because our 3 other projectors are getting rather popular for classroom use lately. So I set it up with a couple of the others...and, well, now I'm gonna have to go buy MORE of 'em 'cause the Sharp makes the rest of our projectors look so OLD! And for $600! I now know why a projector's contrast ratio is a more prominent spec in website stores. It definitely makes the Sharp, uh, sharp! But its high contrast also does NOT affect(negatively), as so many other video projs do, its color range or intensity or the natural appearance of skin tones. And the remote is so complete there's even a menu for troubleshooting. How many other proj remotes offer that? I used it at a large(600) PTA gathering this past weekend, and during the next few days I had several teachers come up to me and ask where they could get one! Suffice it to say I am highly pleased with it!

- i bought this lcd tv about 5 days ago and i think if wonderful is easy to use and cheap and best off all is from a reliable brand so you dont have nothing to loose for me the only problem that i had with the tv is adjusting the colors bacause you have to set it manually and it tkae some time but after all of that is a great product.
- This is overall a great TV for the money. But when you change channels it takes about 3 seconds to tune in. This can be annoying if you like to channel surf

- Bought this for kitchen HD.
Good: Nice HD picture. Fairly simple screen navigation
Bad: Horrible connectivity. All the ports are bunched up w/in millimeters of the other- to make matters worse its on the left-hand side.
Ugly: The HDMI connection. When switching between SD and HD sources using your HDMI cable-you will get a blue screen. You will need to cut the power to your source 1-4 times before finally arriving at a picture. I took the first back to BB and they said its something w/the encoding system for the HDMI connector. Hmmm funny, my Panasonic plasma doesn't have that problem.
Summary: its a nice set for a nice price if you can put up w/the maddening problem w/its HDMI switch.
Side bar: I've tried cheap-o HDMI cables and better-made cables and you'll be smart to use the better ones. Yes a digital signal is a digital signal-but brightness is a big issue w/the cheaper ones.
Bluejeans cable or monoprice cable is the way to go.
- I've had this TV/Monitor for about a month, and I've been very happy with it.
The TV works/looks great. Nice remote, easy controls, etc. etc.
As a computer monitor, it is FANTASTIC. The built-in speakers means that I don't need other items cluttering up my desktop. Image is very sharp.
- Pros:
+ Great image quality (HDTV quality), screen also coated with anti-reflective coating (which means that it doesn't reflect light from the background that much, & thus you the screen is not that shiny)
+ Many ports (HDMI, VGA etc), can be used as a computer screen
+ Ultra portable
+ DTV, no digital to analog converter required (Feb 17, 2009 transition to DTV in the USA).
+ Really good for its price
+ Setting up very easy (I also find using its remote control very easy : for eg, while watching DTV, I can change the language, include closed captioning, and check the programming guide.
+ Included in the box: VGA cable to connect this TV to your computer and another one to transfer sound from your computer to the TV speakers. I use my laptop as a DVD player with this TV.
Cons:
- Found only one: I don't find the sound quality that superb. To my ears, the sound sounds as if it is coming from a pair of sound blasters enclosed within a box that is partly open. That is, the sound is kind of muffled - my laptop sound blasters output a much better sound than this HDTV. However, you can always attach your own sound system to this TV to get a better sound.
- this is a great hdtv and i can hook it up to my pc to this is great for the money must buy!!!
- On the positive side: the image is excellent, the system supports a multitude of inputs, the analog tuner works perfectly.
On the negative side: the QAM tuner and the computer that selects the detected stations via the remote are flawed. I connected this TV to my cable without the cable box to watch the clear-QAM digital stations from my cable provider. Autoscan found all of them. But trying to use the remote to select the detected channels are so frustrating that I just stopped trying to use the digital tuner. As I installed two of these TVs and both had the identical problems, I suspect that there is a serious design flaw.
If your purpose for this TV is as a PC monitor, for connection to an antenna, for connection to a DVD or for connection to a cable box (either using the analog output [which makes no sense] or using the digital connections) this might be very acceptable. However, if your application is to use the TV to tune QAM signals, this is not the TV for you.
Westinghouse's tech support was so poorly trained that they did not even know what a QAM tuner was for.
Have returned mine. Proceed corefully.

- OK, so originally put up a video showing off the tv's problem(faulty volume button that would stay at max),without taking the time to even explain anything. The purpose of it was to show that if you're gonna be cheap, be prepared for that risk of receiving a defective product. Of course, I could see why people couldn't interpret this message, especially with no spoken words ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, So on to the review:
I wouldn't recommend sitting any farther than 9ft, because it becomes difficult to focus on small details. The sound is nowhere near amazing, but some adjusting improved it. Captions are customizable to look more attractive, there's also a clock and freeze frame button among other features. It also doubles as a monitor so you can switch from your console to your desktop on the fly. The overall viewing experience is really good. I contacted customer service (very easy to deal with) and am expecting a replacement set within 10 business days.
- This set has an annoying 'feature' that was so irritating we returned the set.
As you change channels, a large grey status panel comes up, with the language, screen format & sound settings. The panel stays on the screen for 4 seconds.
This probably won't happen if you have this hooked up to a cable converter, but if you're pulling straight off antenna or cable, it makes channel surfing intolerable.
The picture and sound were fine.
- I've had this set for less than one year and it is already failing. The set has difficulty starting, looses channels and turns itself off repeatedly. The picture completely fails and the unit screeches and blacks out. The warranty is exceedingly **POOR**. One year on parts, however, when I contacted Magnavox customer support I was told there is no repair service on this model, but they would replace with a new unit for an additional $275.00!!!!(No Warranty??). Avoid this item completely!
- I bought this set dec 10. in the last 2 months we've noticed horizontal lines and shadows. I've checked everything according to cable lines. It is the TV set. The service center admitted that this set does have a picture tube problem. they can fix it for $274.00. I bought it originaly for about that price. I'm really angry that it is dying so soon. All other TV's I've ever owned have lasted for many many years! I really liked this set up till this problem. In my opionion, less than one year for your money is not worth it!
- Our TV just gave out after owning it for less than a year. The power button is lit red but wil not advance. The TV will not go beyond a black screen. I called customer service to be told, for a fee of $274.62 plus tax they will replace it. I can buy the same tv on the web for the $240 range!
Not good customer care or product.

4 comments about LG 47LG50 47-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
- I've had great experience with LG products - so my purchase of a 47" Full HD set from LG seemed logical.
The picture on my 47LG50 is terrific! Setup out of the box was very intuitive, although I would recommend that the set's picture be set to "standard" instead of "vivid" (torch mode is set by default).
Even when powered off, this set is beautiful. Its piano black case frames the 47" screen very well, although it is more susceptible to fingerprints.
The set offers three HDMI 1.3 inputs and more connection options than one would normally need.
I couldn't give this set a stronger recommendation!
- We priced many tvs and this one was the best bargain for the money! Like the previous reviewer stated, I couldn't give this a higher rating. It's a great LCD!
- Although I did quite a bit of research before buying, I'm no TV expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. I may not be using something correctly or what not.
A very solid 47" TV. Sleek styling, picture looks great, price was certainly right. I have experienced speakers rattling during certain programs and this is with the volume turned down well below it's maximum threshold. Menus are intuiative and coming off my 24" Sanyo Flat Screen Tube TV this is definately a dream come true. As long as quality holds up for the long haul, no question about this being a solid TV. I do have second thoughts about getting a 120 Hz TV as I primary watch sports. I can definately see the infamous "motion blur" during broadcasts, however I don't know that it's worth the extra $1000 or so for a TV that has the higher refresh rate. After much soul-searching I was able to come to the conclusion that I would be more upset if I spent $2500 on a TV, but you may have some thinking of your own to do if you want a lot of sports.
If you're not looking to spend over $2000 on a big screen, then this a definately a good buy!
- After having an LG47 LG50 LCD 80 days the picture goes out and after their tech replaced the mother boards the unit still does not work.It is now three weeks later and I want a new set and LG will not budge on this.They want me to miss another day of work so they can try and fix it again.This set is less that 3 months old.One day of lost wages and three weeks of paying for HD cable that I cannot get.B.S.
DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.
