New Projector Reduces Power Consumption by 30 %
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Acer's new ultra-portable projectors, the K11 now comes with built-in USB and SD card reader, and is free of hazardous substances such as mercury or halogen gases and when compared to a traditional lamp, can reduce power consumption up to 30%.
The Acer K11 projector provides full access to multimedia contents, including audio, video and pictures. The projector is also equipped with an HDMI™ port that delivers uncompressed digital signals and multi-channel audio, providing easy connectivity to high-quality HD broadcasts or entertainment.
The new K11 projector combines DLP technology with LED lamp technology, dramatically enhancing LED picture quality. LED technology offers several benefits over traditional lamps. First of all, it makes lamp replacement unnecessary as LED lifetime lasts up to 20,000 hours; plus, the lack of breakable filaments or tubes increases durability. Combined with DLP, LED lamp technology delivers better color saturation and contrast performance.
"Weighing a fraction over half a kilo (0.61 kg / 1.34 lbs.) and measuring just 122x116 mm, the K11 pico-projector is one of the smallest and lightest projectors in the market today," said Sanjeev Dua, Product Marketing Manager, Display and Peripherals.
"We are a very mobile community, and the K11 is the ideal companion for mobile users looking for an easy to carry device for instant projection anywhere," added Dua.
The K11 pico-projector offers an outstanding performance. Thanks to the innovative LED technology this tiny projector can provide 200 ANSI Lumens brightness for clear and detailed images while a 2000:1 contrast ratio ensures crystal clear, vibrant projections. What's more, the Acer SmartFormat technology supports a wide range of PC formats, including 4:3 and 16:9 displays and takes away any worry users may have of having to adjust the resolution of their wide-format notebook.
Over time, traditional projectors are usually affected by colour decay that adds a yellowish or greenish shade to the images on screen. Now Acer's projectors take advantage of ColorSafe and DLP® technology to ensure picture integrity even with prolonged use, making them virtually immune to colour decay.
Acer projectors are compliant with the most up-to-date Microsoft Vista operating systems. The K11 is available across the region and is priced at USD 495.
