If the Sharp has a component input, I'd give that a serious evaluation. As an example, on a Sony 400Q that's setup properly, IMO there's a significant advantage to the component input over the S-Video. Important to note, the Sony is 16X9, and doesn't require the CD player to do down conversion for anamorphic DVD's. If your projector requires down converted sources (say, 640X480 equivalent) for widescreen, you'll lose some of the benefit with that kind of material; however, you'll probably still notice it if you use 4:3 source material.
It's important to check the setup using a good test disk, such as AVIA; it's not uncommon the S-Video is "spot on" out of the box, and component may be low, or darker. Also, many early RPTV's had component color matrix decoding that was decidely inaccurate; hence, the problems with some Toshiba's having a green or yellow cast. Try it and see; doesn't cost you anything except time and cables, if you've got the connections already.
