yeah, do a search for this panel... is pretty popular... infact i have one 😀

as for color range, i believe it's at around 2 million colors.
Dont' quote me on that cause i can't remember exactly. But I'm really sure it's 2million. Unless it's the whole 16 million??? damn... now i'm confused...

oh wait... i did a search for "1650"
and found this:

Sharp 1650

true 640X480 does 800X600
16.7 million colors
Vga/RCa/S-video inputs
response time 60ms?

woah, search is really handy! 😀 lol

oh and overall, they are pretty good panels... nothing wrong with them.

I did do a search....I was wondering what other people with these panels thought of them, the color range was just a side question.

overall, they are good panels... simple... efficient... 16 million colors, you can't go wrong...

though for good dvd quality, i'd try and find a 800 by 600 panel...
it'll make the image look much nicer 🙂

if you can get a 1650... go for it... it's good.

i purchased a sharp 1650 recently, im going to get it by friday, looking forward to it.
Does the sharp 1650 go to 800 x 600? I heard it does but it isn't its native resolution

yeah, it's primarily a 640x480 panel...
I actually haven't tried 800x600 on the panel yet, though it suppsoed to support.... but probably doesn't look very nice... :-/
 
I also have the 1650. I tried the 800x600 but couldnt get all of my desktop on the screen for some reason. I am very pleased with the quality when used with my PC. My DVD payer had issuses
with certian DVD's. I am useing a 92"x72" "ish" matte white pulldown screen that I got second hand and very cheap.
I recently switched overhead projectors and I noticed that the screen door effect with the new overhead is now barely noticeable even at that screen size. you have to be about 2' or less to really notice it. I have read that when the fresnel lens is closer to the lcd it helps with the screen door effect. I can say that it looks like this true.
My only complaint is that this panel does not have very good contrast. none of the projection panels do compared just about any newer lcd monitor. Even with my Dukane 670 (575 watt halide bulb) it still has problems with darker scenes.
That aside, the panel seems to be fast enough that I havent noticed any ghosting or blur in fast scenes when useing my computer for playback. I did have some problems with that and the colors doing funky things when I was using the composite video and my regular dvd player, but only with a couple of the dvds that I have.
BTW, the colors on this panel are quite good with the halide light source. things were a little too red with the halogen overhead I was useing before.
All in all I think its a very good panel to start off with.
Cheers

Thanxz for the great replys on the personal opinions on these panels. I feel better about spending 250 for it now...🙂
I also bought a overhead projector for 59. I am so happy that I now have a big screen tv for under 350(s/h)
