The value end of DLP, specified plainly
Projectors built around DLP chips at the accessible end of the market, alongside a large computing business. The projector listings read like data sheets: native resolution, ANSI lumens, contrast ratio, throw ratio, lamp life in hours by mode.
At the price where Acer competes, most listings switch to unqualified “lumens” and dynamic contrast. A specification stated in the same units as a machine costing three times more is what makes a comparison possible at all.
Short throw · Full HD 1 920 × 1 080 · 3 500 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · 3D Ready · keystone
A short-throw 1080p projector at the accessible end of a family that is usually expensive — it sits close to the screen without needing the rigid, matched surface an ultra short throw machine demands.
Best for: A small room where a projector at the back is impossible, and where a rigid ALR screen is not in the budget.
≈ £625 / 610 €
4K UHD 3 840 × 2 160 · 4 000 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · keystone · 3 W speaker
A 4K UHD DLP projector that states its brightness in ANSI lumens at a price where most of the shelf stops doing so — and a specification sheet that reads like a data table rather than a sales page.
Best for: A first 4K projector in a room where the light can be controlled and the machine can sit where the throw ratio wants it.
≈ $1179 / 710 €
Full HD 1 920 × 1 080 · 5 200 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · 3D · keystone
The brightest machine in this catalogue by its stated figure — 5 200 ANSI lumens — which is what makes a 1080p projector work in a room you cannot darken.
Best for: A room with daylight, or a very large image, where light matters more than pixel count.
≈ £509 / 527 €
