Acer K11 DLP Projector with LED Illumination, 2000:1, 200 ANSI Lumens, 800×600 SVGA

If you’re the owner of an old TV set, you really should think about getting it replaced with the Acer K11 projector. While not a true HD projector, this unit is nevertheless able to render images in 1080i quality. And when you have a diagonal of over 80 inches at your feet with the help of which you can enjoy a movie in a cinema-like atmosphere, you begin to realize TVs are suddenly very limited.

Thanks to the incorporation of LED technology into the projector (lamp to be precise), the image delivered is at exceptional standards. Thanks to the same light emitting diodes, the Acer projector has a very long life, at least as far as the lamp is concerned. According to the manufacturer, 30,000 hours of viewing time per lamp are not an unreachable goal. You’d better get the popcorn and soda/beer ready, because that is a lot of time spent glaring at the walls.

One characteristic this unit and the entire K line has is the small size. Its measurements are 11.6 x 12.2 x 4.2 cm and the weight that size carries amounts to a backbreaking 608 grams. It can also be supported by almost any type of tripod. Fitted on its frame, you will find the HDMI, USB, and composite ports. The projector can support an SDHC memory card.

Although capable of higher resolutions, its native setting is at 720p. As previously mentioned, this is not a veritable HD projector, but the contrast, color depth, and so on, are simply amazing. The Acer K11 should be categorized as being one of those things that say “size doesn’t matter,” because there is much more to it than meets the eye.

4:3 displays are supported, as well as widescreens, with the image being highly detailed. The little thing even has a green conscience. This could be an important criterion for those who want to enjoy the best technology has to offer but are still mindful of the hazards it poses to the environment.

Well, they can rest at ease, as the environmental impact the K11 has is minimal, due to its lack of mercury components. Again, the LED lamp has a lot to do with that.

The sound quality is higher than one would expect from a device this small, and it is suitable for most applications. In the end, this Acer projector is a piece of equipment that should satisfy even the picky ones.
