Acer C110 Pico Review and Price - Acer , the third of a strong position in the global market for projectors, the tip, with the Pico C110 , to expand its offerings in the segment of mobile devices, the same as it did with the peeps at the end of 2010 model C20 Pico .
The line consists of three models Pico hours, thanks to the recent introduction of devices C110 and C112, all based on technology DLP lamps and LEDs . In this preview we focus our testing on ' Acer C110 Pico .
For size and weight are comparable to those of a portable hard drive - 110x85x25 mm and 175 grams - and for the use of a single USB cable to power it, Pico Acer C110 becomes a perfect companion of the mobile professional who needs share their proposals with colleagues and customers.
The structure is made of plastic fairly strong pressure, with a minimalist design: one side we have the slots for heat dissipation, on the left side of the ring manual focus , on the front and rear respectively, the LED lamp and the USB connector.
Thanks to the latter, the use of ' Pico Acer C110 is very simple and straightforward : you connect the projector to the laptop on which you installed the control program (currently only for systems Windows , being developed for Android), and after a few seconds, you are ready to reproduce images, videos or presentations .
We found it extremely useful technologies SmartFormat , which recognizes a wide range of formats for the screen so you do not have to worry about adjusting the resolution of the notebook, and InstantPack to unplug it and store it inside the case without waiting for its cooling .
For the power of the Acer C110 Pico we have two options, depending on desired level of performance, which depends on the brightness of the environment in which we live. In fact, the USB cable is split on the side of inclusion in the projector: using a single port power, the C110 will work in Pico mode Low / Medium , enough for a dark or low light, the light is diffused when it is necessary connect both USB connectors for the Turbo mode , which ensures the best performance. The difference between the two modes is evident: we found the double connection a lot more lending, especially in the media playback.
The projection area of the Acer C110 Pico in native 16:9 resolution WVGA of 854 × 480 pixels, ranges from 30 cm (12 ") up to 254 cm (100 "), although the most satisfactory results in terms brightness, ( 1000:1 native contrast ) and color fidelity are achieved at a distance of 2 m with an area projected 48 inches .
For our test we had access to an accessory that we consider essential for the mobile professional. This is a folding screen , which can be reduced to the size of an A4 folder for the transport, but, when opened, delivers brilliant images twice that of a standard screen - 100 vs. 50 lumens - with a size of 25 "for a satisfactory screening of the group.
