Acer X1140 SVGA Projector Review

Acer launched the line of X1 series projectors more than a half-decade ago, and in that time, we’ve seen a number of capable, durable and low-cost options. The X1 series is primarily Acer’s entry-level, ultra-budget set, with current iterations like the X113PH and X123PH starting at $299 and $399 respectively. The Acer X1140 is now out-of-production.

Projector Review: Epson EB-440W – An Ideal Education Projector

Released exclusively in the United Kingdom and Europe in 2010, the Epson EB-440W was designed with the classroom in mind.

Plus, the EB-440W is a WGXA resolution projector (1280×800) and displays images in the […]

In other words, the PowerLite D6250 has aged well, and it remains a reliable piece of hardware with the right specifications for presentations.
