"The Acer PH530, is OK! It is probably currently (10/07) the least expensive, current model 720p home theater projector on the market, and that means plenty of folks will buy them." from Projectorreviews.com I should point out, that just 2-3 months ago, the lowest cost home theater projector I could find out there on the Internet, was InFocus'es IN72. A projector, prettier physically, and with a better picture on screen (sharper, better black levels, shadow detail), and better out-of-the-box. That InFocus could be had for $499 to $599, a bit less than this Acer, BUT, the IN72 was only 480p resolution, so, in terms of resolution overall clarity, the Acer has the edge. from Projectorreviews.com I know most people fall into 2 camps with projectors... Those that see a rainbow effect with DLP projectors (and think they have to buy LCD projectors) and thoses that think DLP projectors don't have vivid colors... Both of these issues have been surpassed with the Acer PH530! And at only $599 (at the time), It is the best purchase I ever made! from Amazon.com Menu is great for fine tuning. Bought instead of BenQ 720, and couldn't be happier for the money saved. Directv, Xbox, and dvds look awsome on the PH530. I have it in a dedicated room with no outside light, so the low lumens are no problem. from Amazon.com This projector is fantastic. I wasn't sure about the Acer name for projectors, but the picture blows me away. I previously owned a XGA BenQ PB6200. from Amazon.com there are not many reviews out there so I will provide you with some feedback. The projector really impressed me a lot; I was previously owning a budget SVGA projector Acer XD1150. Comparing the ph530 to the xd1150 I must say that the ph530 projector is playing in the 1st league in terms of resolution and picture quality. from Amazon.com Pros: Im In The Home Theater Business and this is By far the best 720p Projector for the Money and Also beats out alot of Higher end projectors, Color and shapeness right out of the box are excellent. Cant Wait?? If Acer ever comes out with a 1080p version???? Cons: Blacks are a little weak. from Newegg.com Pros: Okkk, let me be the firs one then.. Ok, before i got this thing i got the BENQ W100, so, when I got th w100 and I put it in place I said, wow, what a beautiful image, I really like the benq w100, well it was my firs projector, so I said I want somethin better now, I found this one, the ACER PH530, I read the specifications and I really liked what is said, but I was thinking about it couse there wasnt any review, finally I got, when I put it in place I said WOOOOOW, this projector gives you what you want, exellent picture, movies, games, pc, everything looks great, if you want to get one, go for this one guys, you will love it, like I do. Cons: none so far. from Newegg.com wonderful projector filled with features being a true hd unit really makes any image into an instant movie theater experience, don't walk run and get one before it's too late. from Tigerdirect.com combine it with a decent screen and surround sound for hours of blissful movie watching, whether via hd cable/satellite or via an upscaling dvd player, the colors are exquisite, the contrast sharp from Tigerdirect.com
