  Since you sell the item normally at $1568, you should not refer to the RRP as it's irrelevant to the saving.
  At first look, you're offering a $380 saving which ought to make the deal stand of its own without trying to make it sound unbelievably good.
  A Lumens reference would be handy too.

  For people interested, 2000 Lumens

  EDIT: ProjectorCentral review gives this unit a decent rating if you take the time to calibrate the colours.

    The best recommended colour is with default setting (as its already set by Acer), it gets complicated once you change the colour setting.

      Other review have positive feedback about its colours. Calibration is not necessary.

  no lens shift etc, setting it up properly might cost more than the discount….

    There is Auto/Manual built-in keystone correction, if projector is not directly facing the screen. Lenshift is not neccessary.

      Keystone correction = scaling/distorting the image = bad

      For a decicated home theatre projector its preferable to avoid keystone correction.

      That said, lens shift is a more advanced/expensive feature and can be worked around by careful (within a few cm) positioing of the projector/screen so lack of lens shift on a projector at this low price is to be expected and not a huge problem.

        Depend if you have a diffcult room, environment, or setup. As we found in most many many situation keystone is sufficient enough, lenshift is just optional. Some of our customer dont even need to have keystone turn on and is having a good proportion image on screen.

  Anyone know how it stacks up to the BenQ W1060? ( e.g. $999 at http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Mon… ). Internet is scarce for reviews on it.

    +1

    Here is a comparison. Lamp life better in the Benq. Seems similar otherwise on the specs.

    Just want to merely point out some important difference between two model as sometime you cannot see from merely reading spec. Not trying to hard sell. :)

    Acer 50000:1 Contrast Benq 5000:1, (Acer 10 times better contrast)
    Acer 230W lamp; Benq 190W lamp.
    Acer: 6 colour wheel, with Texas instrument dark chip. Benq: N/A
    Other feature Benq dont have. 1) Variable Iris: 2)Picture in Picture 3) 24fps True to Film support
    4) Free carrying case… many more..

    Pls note this projector is in a $3000 projector category. We aare just doing promo..

  Question. what is the significance of the power usage of the lamps if they both produce the same light output. Also what is the cost of replacement lamps given this unit will burn lamps out in 60-70% of the time of the benq (approx)?

  • 

    Store RepZettabyte Computers @ ZettaByte Computers on 13/12/2011 - 19:05

    The significance is Acer has OSRAM 230W lamp. It can produce 50000:1 contrast. Can produce much d arker black colours and shade. Contrast is amount of grade between black and white.

    If you concern about lamp life , get LED (typical 30000hrs), but lumen is very small which you can hardly see anything in any situation.

    • 

      theguru1 on 13/12/2011 - 20:26

      Whilst I'm open to accept that the Osram 230W lamp might be better, although the light output is the same, how is it that the lamp creates greater contrast? I thought this was due to the technology of the projector itself, not the light source.

  I have this projector (more as a high res data projector, rather than a big screen projector for home movies), and can say it is a good buy at this price, does movies very nicely (albeit in the office on a Friday afternoon at beer o'clock), and is a ripper for training and presentations which we bought it for - you can't beat full HD 1920 x 1080 when demo-ing software or running training (well, unless you can afford a 4k projector).

    Store RepZettabyte Computers @ ZettaByte Computers on 13/12/2011 - 22:40

    First time we heard customer use it for data presentation, as most data projector are XGA or WXGA native which is sufficient as it will just downscale from 1080p when it take 1080p signal As e.g Font in Powerpoint is vector graphics based usually need only 72dpi for resolution. So XGA or WXGA native projector is sufficient enough.

    On other hand, this one is Home Theater type projector to watch movies to see the little detail in the picture as its native 1080p (no scaling)… As Acer have other data projector, but of course you can use it for data presenation.

      When you're demonstrating software designed for use on high res screens, it helps if the demo isn't downscaled and looks fuzzy :) We can plot more than a day's data at one point per minute (1440 data points) on a chart on 1920x1080, for example.
