For HT, I waould recommend the Sony VPL 400Q over the Sharp. The Sony has has a "delta" or staggered pixel array that effectively removes the
screen door effect which is very pronounced in sharp lcd projectors. Also, as far as I know, the Sony is the only projector with native 16:9 lcd panels to take maximum advantage of the the full resolution potential of the projector when displaying anamorphic DVDs, which look incredible on the 400Q (I use a draper M2500 Clarion screen 101" wide by 58" tall (16:9). I have a friend a few miles down the street from me with the Sharp99 projector. For HT the cinema experience with the sony is much superior to that of the sharp, though due to the Sony's delta pixel array, computer graphics are better on the Sharp. For movies, the Sony wins hands down. The Sony has composite, s-video, and component inputs(sync on green) and can handle 480i, 540p, and 1080i, with a decent built in scan converter/doubler.

Model is discontinued and being replaced by the VPL VW10HT. However, new and b-stock units can still be obtained at www.medialvideosystems.com
I got mine there new about 4 or 5 months ago under 4K brand new with full Sony 3 year warranty.
