Highlights
From Acer — The Acer S1286H short throw projector is ideal for education environments. The Acer S1286H short distance projector offers a large projection at a minimum distance in meeting rooms and classrooms as well as at home with movies, games, and television. The Acer S1286H is particularly smart: the AC Power On & the I/O Power On function, which allow the projector to turn on automatically as soon as either a power source is created or the projector, receives a signal via HDMI or VGA. You no longer need to turn on the projector separately.

ANSI LUMENS is the most commonly accepted industry standard brightness measurement. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image.
