Description
The Acer S1386WH is part of Acer's Classroom series, designed to portray clear, large images either from a distance or when positioned close to the screen thanks to its short-throw optics, making it well suited to compact classrooms and small meeting spaces. It produces a native WXGA (1280 x 800) image at up to 3600 ANSI lumens in standard mode with a 20,000:1 contrast ratio for crisp text and graphics.
At roughly 3.1kg the S1386WH is light enough to move between rooms or wall-mount without heavy-duty hardware, and its short-throw lens allows a large image to be projected from very close to the wall, minimising shadows cast by presenters and reducing glare directly into people's eyes. The lamp is rated at 5000 hours in normal mode, helping keep replacement costs manageable for schools running the projector daily.
As a current model in Acer's education-focused lineup, the S1386WH suits primary and secondary classrooms, training rooms and small huddle spaces where space is at a premium but a bright, sharp image is still required.

Frequently asked questions
How bright is the S1386WH and what rooms suit it?
It outputs 3,600 ANSI lumens at native WXGA (1280x800) resolution, with a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, making it well suited to compact classrooms and small meeting spaces as part of Acer's Classroom series.
How close to the screen can it be positioned?
With its 0.52:1 short-throw ratio, it can sit close to the screen - roughly 1.1m back for a 100-inch image - making it practical for tight classroom layouts where a standard-throw projector wouldn't fit.

The lamp is rated for 5,000 hours in Normal mode.
Is it easy to install or move between rooms?
Yes - at just 3.10kg it's a lightweight design, making it straightforward to mount or relocate between classrooms.
