Sharp XP-P721Q-W – 7,200-Lumen 4K Laser DLP Projector

Product Overview

The Sharp XP-P721Q-W is a 7,200-lumen 4K UHD (3840x2160) laser DLP installation projector designed for higher education classrooms, corporate meeting spaces, and commercial conference environments that require reliable, high-brightness projection without the maintenance overhead of lamp-based systems. Built on a laser/phosphor light source rated to 20,000 hours, the XP-P721Q-W delivers consistent performance in well-lit rooms and pairs with HDBaseT for simplified single-cable AV infrastructure. The 1.6x motorized zoom lens with motorized focus and motorized horizontal and vertical lens shift provides substantial installation flexibility without physical repositioning of the projector.

Product Description

Part of Sharp's Entry Installation Series, the XP-P721Q-W targets mid-tier commercial AV deployments where 4K image quality and laser reliability are required at a cost-effective price point. The 0.65-inch DMD with XPR 4K pixel-shifting technology produces a 4K UHD image while maintaining a compact chassis weighing 32 lbs. The 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio ensures deep blacks alongside the 7,200-lumen peak output.

Connectivity includes dual HDMI with HDCP 2.2/1.4, HDBaseT, and RS-232 for control integration. The projector supports 21:9 aspect ratio natively, making it suitable for ultrawide display applications in modern meeting spaces. Crestron, AMX, and PJLink compatibility enable integration with standard commercial control platforms. The filter-free DLP design eliminates a common maintenance task, and the 5-year / 20,000-hour warranty with InstaCare NBD exchange reduces operational risk for IT and AV managers.

The motorized lens shift range and 1.25-2.0:1 throw ratio allow placement in rooms from 5.2 to 42.3 feet from screen, covering most standard classroom and conference room depths. ECO mode reduces power consumption from 530W to 285W, supporting energy management goals in institutional deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the XP-P721Q-W include a lens?
Yes. The projector includes a built-in 1.6x motorized zoom lens with a 1.25-2.0:1 throw ratio and motorized focus. No additional lens purchase is required for standard installation distances.

What is XPR technology?
XPR (Expanded Pixel Resolution) is Sharp's pixel-shifting technology applied to the 0.65-inch DLP chip, rapidly shifting DMD mirror positions to produce a full 4K UHD (3840x2160) image from a single chip.

What is the maximum screen size supported?
The XP-P721Q-W supports screen sizes from 60 to 300 inches diagonal, spanning the 1.6x zoom range of the built-in lens.

Is this projector compatible with Crestron or AMX?
Yes. The XP-P721Q-W supports Crestron, AMX, and PJLink control protocols via the LAN and RS-232 interfaces.

How does the laser light source compare to a lamp-based projector?
The laser/phosphor light source is rated to 20,000 hours before reaching 50% brightness. A typical lamp-based projector in this brightness class requires lamp replacement every 2,000-4,000 hours, representing 3-9 replacement cycles over a 10-year installation lifecycle.

Where can I purchase the Sharp XP-P721Q-W?
The XP-P721Q-W is available at Creation Networks, an authorized Sharp commercial AV reseller.
