Accordingly fast the DLP projector is mounted and ready to surprise me, however, at the very beginning in some areas. First, with the necessary conversion measures because the Cable entry side of the unit and not as is often the case, back to the unit. An excellent solution when the projector is first screwed to the ceiling, rather annoying when the holder already exists. Now there are 20 centimeter wall unnecessary distance between my satisfaction and the Acer, which means I'm in a quiet minute probably not refrain from fully celebrate new ceiling mounting. The white plastic case like other hand right away and will - if possible - a rather invisible part of the ceiling. Otherwise, the device is very unspectacular and waived, except for an on / off switch, fully controls the chassis. The huge lens opening might still be worth mentioning.
The first operation turns out extremely easy, even the ceiling installation is automatically recognized by the instrument and rotate the image accordingly. And even without intervention in the calibration and image setting the picture is razor sharp, very alive and convinces with clear and realistic colors. Of course, the device can be found here in a slightly darkened basement room, the perfect conditions, but I think the H6520BD should in this regard be little nakedness even in daylight. With regard to the improvement and adaptation of the image to the personal needs, Acer provides a wide range of settings available. Reference values are hardly useful, each user has his very own ideas here safely. The horror stories regarding. A RBE effect ghosts at every DLP projector reviews, forums and reviews. I notice no negative effect here and in this projector. And I will do a devil, frantically looking for it.
After two weeks operation a few little things struck me that I just abarbeite times.
- No Beamer works silently, of course not these representatives. But I was in this respect not really spoiled by the predecessor, so it can also be with this soundscape (lt. Product description 33dB) live very well. Yes, you can hear in silent movie scenes the fans. Something remedy of operating in Eco mode.
- The system requires that the internal speakers Acer a total failure. Within the framework of presentations might be acceptable, but not a normal movie freak to a projector ballert in the four walls to experience nearly perfect cinema feeling and then falls back on the acoustics of a tinny portable radios. At least I hope ...
- During operation of the projector me so far frozen / crashed twice. Every time when trying to remote control means to intervene in the playback. Here then helps only the unplugging and a complete restart. Individual cases or firmware error?
- 3D was my part not tested. My old Active-Shutter Glasses of Sony TVs are not supported, apparently own Acer glasses are essential in these areas. The picture should generally prepare hardly serious competition my LG TV in the living room, so I have to adapt to this point.
- The Acer waived after being switched off completely on a cooling by ventilation. Here at first I thought "oh, already broken," but that seems deliberate. When operating in the living room of this gimmick is of course very pleasant if the projector in my basement now a little nachbrummt or not, on the other hand hardly disturbs.
- The arrangement of the remote control is somewhat confused. At least, I find it a bit unusual that the central button of the cross-control opens the menu and is not assigned the function Okay / Confirm.
- The delivery includes a practical Beamer pocket for mobile transportation. For this purpose (in addition to instructions, remote control and Co.) a VGA cable (!). Pointless.
- Automatic Keystone / Keystone does not provide perfect results. Maybe I'm too stupid to use this feature correctly, but manual fine tuning here was imperative.
- Playback on my white, plastered Kellerwand introduces me - contrary to my original plan - completely satisfied. Appropriately, I have already bought in advance a canvas that now factory sealed inaugural their way into the bay. Painful, but self-inflicted.
Conclusion: Of course I'm happy, the differences between the two beamer generations in my case just to blatantly, so as not to stand out positively. But with all the hype and the Acer has weaknesses and room for improvement, though. At a relatively high level These certainly include the disturbing in the individual case volume, errors and coordination problems in the firmware, the slightly delayed Interface in HDMI mode, the fact that the projector without the remote control can not be operated properly and the weak sound of the loudspeakers. But very solid DLP technology, at a good price / performance ratio incl. A lot of fun factor H6520BD offers all.
