Acer is thrilled to announce that it is placing more emphasis on its AV
market in South Africa, to offer new and existing customers a total solution for their
AV needs…
Acer is excited to announce that it is inviting AV integration distributors to become a
distributor for Acer projectors and monitors in the AV market. Following the
successful uptake of other Acer products including laptops, desktops, tablets and
smartphones by consumers in South Africa, the company now plans to introduce
and promote its products aimed at the AV market; these products include the latest
projectors, monitors and digital signage.
Acer uses digital light processing (DLP) technology in its projectors and digital
signage products and – as Acer’s statistics state – the brand offers the number one
source of products with DLP technology in the Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA)
region.
Acer projectors have several unique benefits that are derived from DLP technology,
which include colour integrity (no colour decay), contrast advantage, less screen
door effect, fast switching speed and a filter-free design. The colour saturation and
intensity are highly enhanced with BrilliantColor technology, they offer a deeper
black colour, sharper image on data, long-lasting image quality and optimized 6-
segment colour wheel design for boosting colour saturation growth by 20% to 30%
with wide colour gamut. Compared to an LCD projector, the DLP projector produces
less noise in operation and its sealed chip resists degradation in dusty
environments, also maintenance costs are significantly lower than those of LCD
projectors.
Acer’s constant research and development illustrates its endeavour towards bigger,
better, longer-lasting image quality in projectors and as a result of high
expectations of consumers who want only the best resolution and quality, owing to
the constant improvement of digital signage, monitors and (especially) televisions
they use at home. These high consumer expectations motivate Acer to offer state-
of-the-art projector technology and to develop projectors that offer higher
resolution, bigger screens and improved colours.
Acer ColorBoost 3D and ColorSafe technologies offer superior colour performance,
with all kinds of contents-based on chip DLP, six-segment colour wheel design and
lamp control capabilities. They provide a true-to-life image even while displaying
3D or 2D-3D content. ColorBoost3D has the ability to reduce brightness decay and
colour shift when displaying 3D or 2D-3D contents through enhancing colour
brightness. At the same time, it compensates colour saturation and colour
temperature. In addition, users can enjoy true 3D effect through following the easy
set-up.
Acer is also accredited for its “EcoProjection’, which means the technology has been
measured against accepted standards for sustainability and responsibility to the
environment. Acer highlights the add-on value of projectors equipped with distinct
environment-caring features by displaying an Acer EcoProjection logo.
“End-users nowadays are expecting to have their AV products with wider viewing
angles, improved sharpness and the ultra-resolution such as 4K2K. No one can yet
offer a 4K2K resolution projector for daily applications other than for cinemas, but
we at Acer are working on it with Texas Instruments DLP technology to bring that
ultra-resolution to our projectors. In order to address the demand on high resolution
at present, Acer offers premium P7605 with WUXGA resolution which is higher than
full HD,’ says .
Acer has also improved, and continues to improve, the product and feature
performance of its monitors, particularly those used for boardrooms and digital
signage for educational use, mobile use and home theatre. Acer has 53% market
share for the third quarter in 2014 in SA for projector business and Acer now
provides total solutions in the South African market.
The Acer product family covers screen sizes from one inch up to 100 inches and it is
firmly placed as a go-to, one-stop solution provider for all home and corporate AV
requirements
