Description

The Acer X1526 is part of Acer's Essential series, offering full 1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution at up to 4000 ANSI lumens, making it suitable for everyday use at work or home where sharper, high-definition detail is required beyond WXGA-class projectors. A 10,000:1 contrast ratio delivers solid black levels and defined detail across both presentation and video content.

With a throw ratio of 1.5, the X1526 can fill a reasonably sized screen from a moderate distance, and its lamp is rated for 4000 hours in normal mode, extending to 10,000 hours in economy mode for lower running costs over time. The projector supports both native 16:9 widescreen and compatible 4:3 content, giving flexibility across different source material.

Acer's ColorBoost3D and ColorSafe II technologies maintain vivid, consistent colour throughout the lamp's life, while Acer LumiSense adapts brightness and saturation automatically to suit the content being shown, rounding out the X1526 as a capable full-HD option for meeting rooms and home entertainment alike.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
