Remarkable display
Chic, black-gray surface, soft texture and smooth rounded curves portray design elegance.
The control pad is embedded on the sleek gray surface, which highlights the Acer logo.
The handy remote control features the Empowering Key for faster access to Acer Empowering Technology tools, while laser pointer and page up/down functionality ensures presentation convenience.
Advanced Acer ColorBoost II technology depicts vivid graphics and enhanced details with powerful image processing and advanced lamp illumination.
Native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution presents sharp, crisp details.
2500 ANSI Lumens brightness and a 2000:1 contrast ratio project crystal clear images from a long distance on a large screen.
The DLP® system design reduces pixelation and produces higher-contrast video with deeper blacks, making fast-moving images come alive with smooth precision.
Proficient, empowering usability
The Empowering Key provides one-touch convenience to Acer Empowering Technology tools:
- Acer ePower Management allows you to customize power-saving configurations. Featured in Acer ePower Management, High Altitude Mode lets you operate with faster fan speeds to prevent damage even when using the projector at high altitudes.
- Acer eView Management helps you adjust projector settings to suit any presentation environment and content type. With the innovative Blackboard Mode, you can instantly project onto a traditional green chalkboard -- you don't have to set up a separate white screen.
- Acer eTimer Management provides an onscreen visual cue, keeping presentations on schedule. Simply set a time limit to your presentation, and a timer and reminder are displayed onscreen.
- Acer eOpening Management creates a customized projector startup image with a company logo or personal photo.
Acer SmartFormat technology offers complete multiformat support -- this means instant projection without complicated resolution settings.
With the Installation menu, you no longer need signal input from a notebook when setting up, so it's easier and more convenient to install the projector on the ceiling.
Forty-degree vertical keystone correction alleviates the display distortion of an image with a wider top or bottom -- best for environments with limited space, like a small room or office.
The Acer P1266 detects input as soon as a source is connected, eliminating time spent signal scanning.
The P1266 has at least two connectors for multiple-PC source input, including D-Sub and/or HDMI™, offering more flexible connectivity and instant switching, and facilitating information sharing during meetings.
- An HMDI™ port delivers uncompressed digital signals and multi-channel audio for exceptional HD viewing and the highest quality video and audio currently available.
Via the loop-through function, a D-Sub output port allows another device, usually a monitor or another projector, to be connected to the P1166 for dual displays.
An RS-232 serial port permits advanced control and monitoring using the system manager.
Earth-first functionality
Acer EcoProjection technology cuts standby power consumption in half, enabling environment-friendly power management.
Up to 4000 hours of lamp life saves lamp replacement costs and ensures long-term, dependable projector use.
ECO (economy) mode extends lamp lifespan and reduces noise and power consumption.
With Acer Instant Pack technology you can safely unplug the power cord right after the projector is turned off -- you don't have to wait for a cooling period, so you can pack up and go immediately!
The projector automatically performs a safety shutdown if there is no input for an extended period of time.
Digital zoom and pan let you magnify details with ease and move the magnified image to a preferred location.
The low video frequency of the P1266 increases the speed of color-wheel rotation from 2X (6000 rpm) to 3X (9000 rpm), resulting in consistent colors and seamless video playback without the rainbow effect.
The low 28 dBA noise level ensures the clarity and audibility of presentations.
A built-in speaker enhances presentations and video entertainment sound.
An alarm sounds when the projector is turned on/off, when the presentation duration you set via Acer eTimer Management is up, or when a projection error occurs.
PIN security protects the projector from unauthorized use.
The P1266 is compliant with the most up-to-date Windows Vista® operating systems.
