This SHARP projector uses a DLP® chip. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 pixels (micromirrors). As
with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there
are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which ma\
y result in inactive dots on the picture
screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.
