These models feature Acer proprietary ColorBoost3D and ColorSafe II enhancement technologies to provide true and natural colours even after extended use.

Acer V7500

The Acer V7500 is powered by the Acer ColorPurity technology to reproduce rich and pure colours. This combines RGBRGB colour wheel with unique lamp control techniques, resulting in a wider colour gamut and reduced rainbow effects. The V7500 also incorporates Acer’s latest LumiSense+ technology, which optimizes the image according to ambient light conditions and source image spectrum. The V7500 supports HDMI 3D to provide a smooth 3D viewing experience of 144Hz 24p Blu-ray 3D movies.

Outfitted with 4 Corner Correction functionality, the projector can adjust distortions from any corner, so images can be projected on sloped or asymmetric surfaces. The V7500 also features a built-in cable management compartment, while the lamp can be used up to 7,000 hours under ExtremeEco mode.

ColorPurity Technology

Combining RGBRGB color wheel, lamp control technique on multiple waveforms and unique software engine, ColorPurity produces wider color gamut to 72 per cent NTSC. Acer ColorBoost II+ is an advanced technology that refines waveform to improve color performance based on lamp spectrum and color wheel properties. ColorBoost II+ improves natural color temperature to achieve optical color balance, and enhances color brightness according to content by working with Acer eView Management, which provides scenario modes with a color-specific refined waveform.

Acer ColorSafe

Acer projectors featuring ColorSafe are virtually immune to color decay, such as the yellow or green tint on images displayed by some projectors that have been used for extended periods of time. Acer projectors take advantage of DLP technology to guarantee picture integrity despite prolonged use.
