Acer H5380BD Pro Reviews

An entry-level 2D and 3D home entertainment projector, the Acer H5380BD offers a low price, 720p HD resolution, and support for 3D with Blu-ray players and other video devices.

The Acer H5380BD is an intriguing projector: it is a lightweight, highly portable 720p projector that has a great home video image and a bargain-basement price. At its price point, you simply cannot beat its combination of picture quality and features. The projector is not without flaws, of course; a 2x-speed color wheel means a significant number of people will see rainbow effects, and locked image presets limit your ability to fine-tune the projector. And the projector's 2D brightness does not transfer over to 3D mode, so you will need to use a smaller screen size when watching 3D. But looking at the big picture, it's hard to expect much more from a projector with an MSRP of $549. Whether you intend to use the H5380BD on the road or in your theater, you'll find a lot to love in this portable powerhouse.
