Precision, Clarity, Enduring Performance

Delivering consistent, reliable performance with vivid colour and clarity, the Sharp A Series is engineered for fixed installations that require dependable image quality and low maintenance. 

With precise white point calibration and an extended colour space, the A Series uses 12-bit colour signal processing to achieve rich saturation and deep contrast, perfect for detailed visual content in education, public displays, and simulation environments. Its super-silent operation makes it well suited to acoustically sensitive spaces such as lecture halls, museums, and contol rooms. 

The sealed optical engine, rated IP5X against dust ingress, maintains stable image quality and sustained brightness over time. The filter-less LCD design combined with a laser light source removes the need for lamp replacements, minimising service costs and enabling up to 20,000 hours of operation. 

Installation is streamlined with Sharp's ProAssist software, enabling remote setup and adjustment even when the projector is inaccessible. Wide lens shift, along with advanced features such as HDBaseT-out, blending, and stacking capabilities, ensures flexible integration in complex environments.

Benefits

  • No lamp replacement – up to 20,000 h maintenance free operation possible due to Laser Light Source.
  • No filter service required – a completely sealed optical laser LCD engine allows a filter-free design. Brilliant colour brightness is maintained and servicing costs need no longer feature in your budget.
  • Super Silent operation – patented sealed light engine incorporating innovative fan design not only protects against dust ingress but dramatically reduces noise.
  • Impress with vivid colour & contrast – brilliant white and wide colour space with high dynamic contrast supporting HDR10 standard via HDMI interface.
  • Incredible visualisation capabilities – impressive free tilt and portrait installation capability, unique geometric adjustment, tiling and camera based blending.
