Delivers 1080p Full HD projection for movie theater quality images
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 29, 2012 – Acer America today announces the newest model in its home entertainment projector line, the Acer® H6500. Acer’s latest DLP projector offers 1080p Full HD projection with exceptional color fidelity even in environments with bright ambient light.
It can display true 24fps 1080p video content from a Blu-ray Disc (BD) player via its HDMI interface, making it the perfect projector for showcasing widescreen movies created in the HDTV and Blu-ray Disc formats. With 1080p Full HD and an image projection of up to 300 inches, film viewing in the home is close to seeing it in a commercial movie theater.
The new projector provides crisp, rich visuals with brightness up to 2,100 ANSI lumens, which can be dimmed to 1,680 to save power. Leveraging Acer’s eColor Boost II+ technology and wall-color compensation, the Acer® H6500 makes colors pop on any surface, even tinted walls. Plus, ColorSafe II prevents color decay by using DLP technology, which provides picture integrity even with prolonged use. Images are displayed in the native 16:9 aspect ratio, which
can be adjusted to 4:3. The 10,000:1 contrast ratio means deeper darks and brighter whites, while maintaining crisp images.
“The Acer® H6500 projector is an excellent choice for the home with its ability to showcase Full HD 1080p video and superior color performance even in areas with bright ambient light,” said Chris White, senior director of product marketing, Acer America. “Home theater enthusiasts can now enjoy film quality viewing outdoors at night or indoors without having to close the shades or turn out all the lights. Plus, the projector is easy to set up and use and is earth-friendly, since the power consumption can be reduced up to 70 percent.”
The Acer® H6500 features a sleek, intuitive design with a control pad conveniently located on top. An aesthetically-pleasing look and feel includes a white and gray matte finish and rounded contours. It’s also easy to transport, weighing just 5.6 pounds and measuring 10.6-inches (L) by 8.1-inches (W) by 3.3-inches (H).
A range of outputs provide users with several options for accessing content. These include composite, component, USB, D-Sub and HDMI. With multiple-PC source input, several PCs can be connected to the projector at the same time. wide-format PC signals, so there is no need to change the resolution of a wide-format notebook and wrestle with “signal not supported” issues.
An Instant Resume feature enables the projector to resume projection immediately after it has been turned off. The power can be turned on and off at any time during the two-minute shutdown process. There’s no need to wait for the device to cool off before resuming projection.
