Acer H7531D Pro Reviews

At £750, the H7531D is fairly inexpensive for a 1080p projector. It lacks some of the more advanced features of the more expensive competition, but has everything you would want for a home cinema. However, you're better off spending £10 more on the BenQ W1060 which has a much sharper picture and better image quality at default settings.

The Acer H7531D is the only 1080p projector we've seen recently under $1000 to feature an auto iris, and black level in dark scenes is excellent as a result. It is also a very bright projector, lending itself well to non-traditional applications such as living room or backyard use. However, the projector falls short in several key areas, such as default color calibration and the ease with which it can be adjusted. At less than $1000 retail, the H7531D appeals to first-time projector buyers, and user-friendliness is especially important when the primary consumer is someone who has never owned a projector before. Old hands will have no trouble bringing the H7531D to rein, but the neophyte might find himself frustrated and ultimately dissatisfied.
