Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring a revolutionary, V-shaped design, the 56-inch Sharp 56DR650 DLP HDTV makes for a stylish home theater centerpiece. But it also produces stunning video and audio playback thanks to the Texas Instruments advanced DLP (digital light projection) chip and Faroudja video engine. You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the HDMI or component connections. An analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. You can also use this set to view your PC, with the VGA input. The 56DR650 features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, which helps to eliminate the jagginess found in non-HD video content. FaroudjaOs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts. This set has a 135-watt lamp, 1280 x 720-pixel resolution, true 16:9 aspect ratio, and a great 1200:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The SmoothPicture technology virtually eliminates pixelization that is noticeable on some other types of TVs. The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home. Other features include picture-in-picture (PIP) It produces a total of 30 watts of power from the two built-in speakers (15 watts per channel), and the integrated BBE sound enhancement circuitry enhances the mid to high frequencies to create clear crisp dialogue from the TV's internal speakers. It produces virtual surround sound through its two speakers, and can be used as a center channel speaker in a multi-channel surround sound set-up from your home theater receiver. It includes the following line-up of video and audio connection options: - Composite audio/video (RCA): 3
- S-Video: 3
- Component video: 2
- HDMI audio/video: 1
- PC VGA: 1
- RF: 2 (1 analog, 1 digital)
- Digital audio: 1 optical, 1 coaxial
- Center channel input: 1
Tech Talk
A DLP (or digital light projection) system uses an optical semiconductor called the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD, which functions as an extremely precise light switch. The DMD chip contains an array of more than a million hinged, microscopic mirrors. By switching these mirrors on and off up to several thousand times per second, a DLP projection system can translate a digital video or graphic source into a projected image with maximum fidelity.

DLP HDTV, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions

 Horrible TV! Do not buy! December 27, 2008
Martha Rogers
We purchased this TV in December of 2005 for about $2500. It was great for one year until it started making terrible noises and the picture stopped. Fortunately we bought a warranty, but it cost over $1800 to repair it (which the warranty covered). Within a year, the bulb burned out and this time the warranty wouldn't cover it. We would have had to invest another $5-600 again to make this repair. We tried contacting Sharp hoping to get some assistance since at this point, the repairs on the TV now almost exceeded the original cost of the set to begin with! Sharp refused to help. Please, please, please do not buy this TV!

It was great for 6 months... but please do not... I repeat... do not buy this television. This is a discontinued item. I brought this TV last November 2005 only had it for 6 months. And now it's been nothing but one big headache. This thing started making strange wining noises. And couldn't get any picture. At first they thought it was the lamp that needed replacing. Not!
Still waiting to find out what's wrong with this thing. I know I probably got a defective television. But I wish I would had brought my 61 panasonic TV instead of this thing. Oh well, 2553 down the drain.
