Acer America announced its Acer C202i portable projector is now available in United States. Palm-sized, ultra lightweight and wireless, it’s designed for traveling professionals, such as sales representatives and consultants. It’s also a great option for consumers looking for a travel projector that’s easy to pack and use on vacation.

Just 5.9 x 5.9 x 1.3 inches, weighing only 12.34 ounces and not much bigger than a passport, it’s easy to fit in a briefcase, backpack or handbag. A built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery provides up to five hours of use without requiring a power supply and can also double as a power bank for recharging smart devices.³ In addition, this DLP® LED projector with HDMI input can project a 70-inch image from 6.5 feet, including content from a USB drive,⁴ an Android¹ or iOS² device as well as a Windows⁵ or Mac PC⁶ using a USB cable. Content can be viewed as a video viewer, document reader or through mirroring.⁷

“Professionals will appreciate the Acer C202i’s tiny form factor and being able to make presentations on the fly from a mobile device,” said Ronald Lau, Acer America director – stationary products. “It’s also as an inexpensive option for a child’s room or for enjoying on a family vacation.”

Delivering 300 lumens brightness and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio, the Acer C202i delivers crisp presentations and photos in native FWVGA 854×480 resolution or at the maximum UXGA 1,600 x 1,200 resolution. It delivers deep color saturation up to 100 percent NTSC,⁸ while ColorSafe technology virtually eliminates color decay. Horizontal and vertical keystone correction up to +/- 20 degrees simplifies finding the right angle for the projector position and eliminating image distortion from any corner.

Thanks to instant on/off capability, customers can pack the projector and go without having to wait for it to cool. A good return on investment, it provides a long product lifespan of up to 20,000 hours in standard mode and up to 30,000 hours in ECO mode.⁹ It’s also outfitted with a 2W speaker and comes with a remote control, tripod and soft cover.¹⁰
