Acer Expands Projector Portfolio with Three New Full HD Models
Editors’ Summary
All of the new projectors support MHL®, so that mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets can be easily connected and the screen content mirrored to play games, watch videos, or even make presentations. Wireless projection capabilities for all three models can be enabled via an optional wireless dongle.
Build Your Home Theater – Acer V7500
The Acer V7500 was engineered for home theaters in mind and supports 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut for better color accuracy. It features Acer ColorPurity technology to reproduce rich and pure colors, combining a RGBRGB color wheel with unique lamp control techniques, resulting in a wider color gamut and reduced rainbow effects. The V7500 also incorporates Acer’s latest LumiSense+ technology, which intelligently optimizes the image according to ambient light conditions and source image spectrum. The V7500 supports HDMI® 3D to provide a smooth 3D viewing experience of 144Hz 24p Blu-ray™ 3D movies. Outfitted with 4 Corner Correction functionality, it enables users to adjust distrotions from any corner, so images can be projected on sloped or asymmetric surfaces. The V7500 also features a built-in cable management compartment, while the lamp can be used up to 10,000 hours under ExtremeEco mode.
Home Entertainment Enjoyment – Acer H6518BD
The 3,200 lumens Acer H6518BD projector with LumiSense+ is ideal for enjoying home entertainment, featuring built-in 2D-to-3D conversion technology with no extra software required. It supports wireless projection with an optional dongle, and has a hidden internal compartment with power supply inside the housing to conceal a wireless adapter of the user’s choice. The H6518BD has a built-in speaker to allow enjoyment of clear sound without the need of external speakers, and also has Bluetooth capabilities to stream audio wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers.
The Big Picture Up Close – Acer U5520B
The ultra-short throw U5520B projector is ideal for classroom setups, projecting images up to 87-inches at just 35cm from the screen, while supporting playback of multimedia content directly from a USB drive. Teachers will appreciate the optional Acer Smart Pen, which can be used for on-screen writing and remote control for up to two users to encourage classroom interaction. With Acer ExtremeEco technology, it not only cuts down power consumption but also allows up to 7,000 hours of lamp life.
