Found this monster sitting beside a dumpster today..... Anyone here ever seen one before or tell me something about it?
I think it is an engine.. Or at least the size of one. My guess is that it was used to power vehicles that were once driven by creatures that previously inhabited the earth.

Scratch that. It is a Sharp XV-A1Z. I had to look really close at one of your more distant pictures, but it is there. These came out in 1991 I believe, so there will be little or no information (at least in English) can be found about it.

Had some fun tearing it open. I was thinking that the build year was 1995 judging by the model # 95-5258
I managed to install another power cord and power it up. Seems there's no life left in the lamp.
The 2 Fans turn on and thats it. I did only let it run for 2 min so maybe it has a longer warm up time?
It is interesting that its so hard to find on the internet? Very rare i guess? The first $1000 takes it!!

you could probaly find a new lamp for about 2-300 bucks.

What kind of inputs does it have? I can't really tell.

I have to say it's refreshing to come in and see a thread about garbage instead of the usual heady think tank discussions this board is known for.

April, 1991 High-Resolution LCD Video Projector Sharp XV-S1Z: 650,000 pixel resolution.
That's actually near XGA res. Must have been some Japanese pixel configuration. Not bad for 1991.
Now that I think about it, Japan has had analog HD since the 90s though the resolution was different than the digital ATSC standard we have now and the aspect ratio was 5x3. This is probably made for that purpose. Kind of like those "quarter HD" projectors that were out here for a while (960x540).

Won't do HD but it might be useful for projecting scary images onto your neighbors house.
I remember taking hours to perfect a tiny ghost shape on a piece of cardboard that we taped over the lens of my uncles slide projector to freak my aunt out. It worked a little too well and we got in a little too much trouble.
A more modern take might be an alien face or something.
