Acer C120 LED Pico DLP Projector Announced

Acer introduced the C120 ultraportable pico projector that can be powered by a PC via USB connection. It is ideal for business people, instructors and anyone who needs an incredibly portable projector to display clear, crisp images.

The ultra-lightweight Acer C120 pico projector features an LED lamp, so it turns on instantly and is quickly ready to show vibrant images. Presentations can be enjoyed natively in the 16:9 aspect ratio at WVGA resolution (854×480) or at the maximum resolution WXGA (1280×800) in a 16:10 aspect ratio. Plus, USB 3.0 connectivity increases data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional USB 2.0 for enhanced image brightness and quality.

Customers have the additional flexibility of powering the Acer C120 projector directly from their notebook's USB port, so they can leave their power cord at home. This convenient USB 3.0 option allows for faster display of the images at a bright 75 ANSI lumens. Alternatively, when higher brightness matters most, customers can power the projector with the included AC adapter or any Acer notebook PC adapter to enjoy presentations in an even brighter 100 ANSI lumens rating. The new projector is also plug-and-play compatible with notebook PCs, so no drivers need to be installed.

The Acer C120 has a high 1000:1 contrast ratio that results in crisp presentations and photos. The portable projector also ensures image quality and accuracy with improved color saturation (60 to 120 percent NTSC) and Acer ColorSafe technology. Color integrity is protected even after prolonged use of the projector.

The C120 projector fits in the palm of a hand and weighs only 6.34 ounces. It is incredibly compact, so it can fit in a purse or briefcase; it measures 4.72-inches (W) by 3.23-inches (D) by 1.0-inch (H). In addition, long battery life will ensure the Acer C120 will keep projecting bright images through the very last slide.

Maintenance is reduced for the product since there is no lamp to replace. Plus, the long 20,000-hour LED life ensures long-term dependable projector use. The Acer C120 has a wide projection throw range — it can project clearly from as close as 15.75 inches and as far as 12.14 feet away.
