Our take on the Acer Projector Education Short Throw Projector

The Acer Education Short Throw Projector is a DLP classroom projector with WXGA (1280x800) native resolution, 3,600 ANSI lumens and a 0.52:1 short-throw lens. That throw ratio puts a large image close to the wall, so the presenter stands beside the screen instead of in the beam. It has a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, a lamp rated up to 5,000 hours (6,000 in economy mode) and a 36- to 300-inch image range. Its only recorded price is $541.99 at Techinn.com as of October 28, 2026, so there is no earlier range to compare it against.

Questions and answers

Is 1280x800 good enough for a classroom?
Yes for slides, documents and video at typical viewing distances. It is not full HD, so small text and 1080p footage will look softer than on a 1920x1080 projector.
How close to the wall does it need to be?
With a 0.52:1 throw ratio, roughly half a meter of distance per meter of image width. A 100-inch-wide image needs about 1.3 meters (around 4.3 feet) from the lens to the screen.
How long does the lamp last?
Up to 5,000 hours in normal mode and 6,000 hours in economy mode. Economy mode dims the image somewhat, so use it only where light is controlled.
What comes in the box?
An IR remote control and a quick setup guide. No HDMI cable, mount or carrying case is listed, so budget for those separately.
Is it bright enough for a lit room?
3,600 ANSI lumens handles moderate room light on a screen of moderate size. For very large images or direct sunlight, expect to dim the lights or close blinds.
When is the best time to buy?
The only recorded price is $541.99 at Techinn.com as of October 28, 2026, with no earlier history to compare. Watch for back-to-school and holiday sales, when classroom projectors usually drop.
Is the Acer Projector Education Short Throw Projector at its lowest price?
The lowest price we've seen is $541.99 at Techinn.com on October 28.
