Acer U5200, video projector for short distances

Within the new range of Acer projectors for the education system emphasizes the U5200 Acer, a well-equipped video projector that is capable of running virtually glued to the projection surface (13 inches minimum) through its system of mirrors and, also supports 3D video at 120 Hz. Although designed for educational purposes, the U5200 Acer has enough charm to appeal to other audiences.

Its brightness is 2,500 ANSI lumens 2,000 in low power mode. Although it is not more than most, their ability to operate over short distances ensures that light reaches the screen without interference. A 13 cm, the maximum diagonal is 77 inches, while the maximum size at greater distances is 300 inches.

The contrast ratio of this new projector is 4.200:1 and its native resolution is 1,024 x 768 in 4:3 scalable 16:9 FullHD 1080p. Perhaps this lack of native HD is the least data U5200 strong. The theoretical life of the lamp is 5,000 hours. In terms of connections, the Acer U5200 features a good range through two input and output ports for component video / analog RGB (D-sub), composite video, S-Video, two HDMI, two 3.5mm audio jack mm, microphone, Ethernet and USB.

Wireless connectivity is not integrated and separate adapter required. As is usual in educational projectors, the U5200 can be controlled from laptops or smartphones through WiFi, using the remote control that brings files or running presentations directly from a USB key. Although not yet confirmed, is expected to hit stores in March at a price close to $ 1300.
