| Personal Experience |
| The Acer PD523 is EXCELLENT value for money. I have bought, used, fixed and calibrated many projectors from all the major brands over the last 7 years and I presently personally own the Acer PD523. The reviewers with a ghosting problem should try better cables. I have no ghosting whatsoever on my PD523. Color, brightness and resolution are excellent. Progressive scan HDTV and DVD look brilliant. Apple Keynote and Powerpoint look vibrant. The menus are some of the easiest I have used on a projector. The remote is a logical and well laid out and I really like having a 'Blackout' AND 'Freeze' buttons. My remote was DOA, but Acer happily sent a replacement within 24 hours - awesome service. I also like the 'E' (Empower) button on the remote that let you change color modes on the fly. The case is solid and has a camera tripod mount on the base - handy when travelling. The rear feet are a little limited for horizontal levelling though. My only wish is for DVI input and a physical power switch as well as the 'On/Standby' button. I have set up and used many different projectors throughout Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe, and I am very happy with the Acer PD523 for both presentations and for my extensive home theatre. |
