In fact, the only major difference in performance between this and our $1,000 pick is that our $1,000 pick has higher, 1080p resolution.

It will also work for someone who just wants to project occasional movies/TV shows/games, perhaps on a wall. This projector is for someone who finds regular TVs too small but doesnt want to spend too much money to get a massive image.

I was Video Editor and later Technical Editor of Home Theater magazine for seven years, and currently I review and write about projectors for CNET, Forbes, Sound+Vision magazine, and several other publications. Who am I to make this call? Ive been testing and reviewing projectors for over 12 years, and Ive used a projector as my main TV for over a decade. The Acer offers the best overall picture quality thats surprisingly comparable to our $1,000 projector pick (though its only 720p as opposed to 1080p), though the difference between several runners-up was very close. I base this on objective testing with $20,000+ test gear and side-by-side comparisons with the main competition. If I were in the market for a $500 projector, Id buy the ~$450 Acer H5370BD. I thank him for such a detailed & unbiased review. :clapping: The credit should go Geoff Morrison from wirecutter. so i took the liberty of copy/paste the content from the site and create a new thread. I did provide this link in the other thread, but didn't want to loose this review as it was very detailed and informative.
