Acer's H9500BD 3D Projector for Home Theaters Debuts

Acer may have launched a special, new 3D monitor, but that is definitely not the only 3D item that the company made public.

In fact, the company devoted an entirely different press release just to make it known that the H9500BD projector was locked and loaded as well.

It should already be up for sale too, in North America anyway, for the price of $1,999.99.

That would be about 1,499 Euro, according to exchange rates, but it is quite possible that the price across the ocean will be a bit higher whenever the item reaches those shores.

Fortunately, Acer made a valiant effort to justify that price, and that means more than the ability to project clear images in sizes of up to 300 inches diagonally.

For one, it supports 3D, in full HD quality even, which is enough to cement its status as no slouch.

In fact, it supports the latest 3D standards from DLP, NVIDIA and Blu-ray.

Also, it can convert 2D content into 3D on-the-fly, much like the aforementioned HR274H monitor itself, via the same chip.

Other than that, the H9500BD Projector comes with S-video and mini DIN, a component video port, two sets of D-Sub and audio connectors, DVI-D, a pair of HDMI 1.4 ports and a 2.5mm audio jack.

“Home theater enthusiasts will be thrilled that the Acer H9500BD lets them enjoy an enormous 300-inch diagonal Full HD 3D projected image in their home -- a size that's much bigger than what's available to consumers with today's display technologies,” said Chris White, senior director of product marketing, Acer America.

“Anyone considering a home theater should definitely look at the new Acer H9500BD projector for its combination of high-end home theater features such as full HD 1080p video and 3D capabilities, available at an incredibly affordable price.”
