The V7850 uses the same Texas Instruments XPR DLP chip that the other reviewed projectors use which has 4.1 million mirrors and using a pixel shift technique that, it is claimed, can produce an Ultra HD image with 8.3 million pixels on screen. It uses the same chassis, chip and software as the Optoma UHD65 with full manual lens zoom and focus and one vertical lens shift control, although the V7850 is much more expensive than the UHD65, retailing at £3,280 via the Acer shop (October 2017). If portability is paramount for your gaming setup, then you might want to stay tuned in the coming months for pricing and availability in your region.This is Acer’s entry level 4K DLP model that sits under the recently reviewed V9800. Considering that these pack in some gaming-focused features like fast and variable refresh rates, the high prices start to make sense. Acerįor those who usually shop for TVs, this might have been a rude awakening that projectors can get pricey. It comes with the decal, but popcorn and energy drinks sold separately. That said, it does have many of the same features of the GD711, including variable refresh rate, HDR10, and support for up to 240Hz refresh rate for PCs. While the slightly cheaper price is nice, it’s heavier than the GD711, and it has a more limited lifespan at about 5,000 hours in standard mode, or up to 12,000 hours in its “ExtremeEco” mode. It’s coming to China in November for 10,999 Chinese Yuan, and then to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in January 2022 for 1,399 Euros. Converting these two currencies to the US dollar puts it between $1,700 and $1,860, but keep in mind that this is an approximation on my part.Ĭoming back to the GM712, it’s a lamp-based 4K gaming projector that’s far brighter than the GD711 with 3,600 ANSI lumens of brightness, and it’s a little more affordable, too. It has an expected lifespan of approximately 30,000 hours in Eco mode or up to 20,000 hours in standard mode.Īcer hasn’t shared an expected release window for the US, but it’s set to land in China in November for 11,999 Chinese Yuan and in December in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for 1,499 Euros. This model has two HDMI 2.0 ports, an audio-out port, and three USB-A ports. It’ll ship with the Aptoide TV app store built-in. AcerĪcer says the GD711 has a wide range of possible throw sizes, though it recommends a 100-inch screen thrown from 8.85 feet away. I couldn’t find any other projectors on the market that support variable refresh rates (though several high-end TVs do), so this seems like a big feature that Acer has in its court to differentiate itself from other models. The PS5 supports up to 120Hz at 1080p, but it doesn’t yet work with VRR. In that mode, it bumps the resolution down from 4K to 1080p resolution but boosts the refresh rate to 120Hz for consoles or up to 240Hz for PCs and notably can dynamically shift the refresh rate as needed. It supports 4K resolution in standard mode, but it stands out with its variable refresh rate (VRR) mode that’ll display a smoother image as performance fluctuates in powerful consoles, including the Xbox Series X and fast PCs. Focusing on the GD711 first because that’s the one Acer chose to share the most information on, it’s an LED projector that boasts up to 1,450 ANSI lumens of brightness (or 4,000 LED lumens) with HDR10 support. Acer’s Predator lineup of gaming products now includes two 4K projectors: the GM712 and the GD711.
