Nice review

I have used this item like 3 days and I bought it as a replacement for my old epson and as a complement to my benq… I have probed it in different conditions and I can describe it as follows…
At night lights on or off it simply works great in power point presentations and computer general use… the same for movies…When connected to the ps3 or my 360 images are not as good as in a lcd tv, but it was possible to play and that is normal if you consider that this projector is 800x600 and it is really cheap… When connected to my old xbox, my ps2 or the wii it works exactly as a tv, same quality… Anyway I would not recommend this unit to play new video games…

In day light conditions it continues working perfectly well… you can see the images clear even in an image 60" wide… terrific performance for such a cheap projector… I highly recommend it…

If I compare this projector to my other two ones (an expensive epson and cheap benq) I only have one thing to say… Why did'n this acer exist when I bought my first projector? This one is superior in all terms…

Acer x1161p is actually 2700 lumens, not 2500… in the economic mode image quality decreases let's say like 15% or 20 % in day light conditions but it is still ok…On the other hand, at night you cannot hardly see any difference…

If you want to buy a projector take this seriously into consideration… it's great…. And remember, a replacement lamp is only 128 bucks…

        Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
        If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector
        through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a
        USB cable.
        1. In the projector's Extended menu, set the USB Type B setting to USB Display.
        2. Turn on your computer.
        3. Connect the cable to your projector's USB TypeB port

        I wonder the same - but on the cnet review it does say there's the 'standard' inputs too:
        Expansion / Connectivity

        Interfaces 1 x USB - 4 pin USB Type B ( Management ),
        1 x VGA input - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15),
        1 x Composite video input - RCA,
        1 x S-video input - 4 pin mini-DIN

      This is 800x600 native so the quality wouldn't be up there in the first place really.

        are there higher native res projectors for up to $400?

  mattypoika on 24/05/2012 - 10:58

  Would a power adapter be enough or would it need some some of power converter?

  Does anyone know where I can get the next model up Acer H5360 3D 720P projector for a decent price. It doesn't seem to have ever been brought into Australia. If it is cheap enough I don't mind the risk of international postage.

      Nice! Only $515 plus $28 delivery to Australia for the 720P model.
      Bugger SVGA!

      And who cares about 3D? If you really want it, 2 projectors, a silver screen, and passive glasses are the way to go.
