My husband has been around forever desired a beamer. But was skeptical because of the high cost and also if you really even if it is sometimes not quite dark a good picture. These devices used to be quite noisy.
And then we endeckt here two weeks ago on the device and it bought us. Two days later, it was already there. It comes with the projector including power cord and lens cover, a VGA cable, a small remote control, a quick-start guide and a CD with detailed instructions.
And then it was time to unpack, stand up and try for now. In this version you have in addition to the digital HDMI connection, even a VGA input. Moreover, even an RCA video, and S-video input and to control even a mini-USB port. This is perfectly adequate for us.
First, a time you will have a very clear and simple display eg the language. Then you can do all kinds of settings. From the resolution, sharpness, background color through to calibration.
The menus are very clear and self-explanatory.
As a resolution, we use the native resolution of 800 x 600 4: 3 format.
He has Zoom 1-2 in 0,2fach steps.
Has an ECO mode to reduce electricity comsumption (185W instead of 217W).
We have connected for the first Test through HDMI our BluRay player and were amazed. Although the room was not completely dark, we had a few settings with a clearly visible and clear picture.
The fan is very quiet. He is heard only when it is quiet in the room. You can set it so that it should after turning it slightly lags around the lamp to cool down.
After we were convinced after a few test's that he really is a good device for a fair price, we have bought us a canvas, two 3D glasses and a ceiling mount.
Screen:
Ceiling Mount:
3-D glasses in the SET:
We have him then on one side of the room on the ceiling mounted super easy.
The screen you should choose according to the length of the room. We chose for a 300x169cm.
At a distance of 6m we have such a diagonal 137-151 inches.
All 3 parts fit very well and work fine with the Acer.
If you have a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, 3D movies and glasses has (96 or 144Hz there in plenty of choice) is the 3D experience no more obstacles.
The sound system can not connect to the device, however. The runs on eg the player or PC.
The lamp is easy to change, however, is not cheap to buy. With about 6000 hours life has been but a long time. If one uses it for about 2 hours a day to get already at about a period of 8 years.
Conclusion: A great value for money entry-level device. Although you can still buy the additional components you are still a lot less than for a large TV.
It has many possibilities of 3D movie experience through a photo exhibition up to the PC game play in large format - car races like the middle.
We are very satisfied and can only say for the price you get really good technique with many possibilities and you have real fun ....
