Dubai, United Arab Emirates, January 11, 2015:  Acer revealed its Acer H7550ST, a powerful projector that delivers brilliant Full HD visuals and dynamic 20W stereo audio with short-throw and wireless versatility.  It’s the world’s first projector to provide internal Chromecast wireless dongle compatibility.  The Acer H7550ST will be on display at Pepcom’s Digital Experience! Event on Jan. 5th at The Mirage in Las Vegas.

The new Acer H7550ST projects clear and wide images of up to 2.5 m (100-inches) diagonally from as little as 1.5 meter from the screen thanks to short-throw technology, a high 3,000 lumens brightness and a native 16:9 aspect ratio. Due to its ability to project a large picture from a short distance, it’s perfect for consumers who will be using the projector from the comfort of home for enjoying movies, games and karaoke, even within smaller rooms. It’s also a great option for educators for projecting lessons in the classroom.

For added convenience, a hidden adapter enables data to be transferred and projected wirelessly from a smartphone, PC or Chromebook leveraging user’s own Chromecast, an Acer MWA3 MHL dongle(1) or Acer Wireless HD, which delivers 60Hz Full HD 3D movies without having to change settings when used with a HDMI cable connected to a media player. The unique hidden design of the adapter furthers data security, while maintaining the projector’s clean look and feel and reducing the possibility of it being lost.

Two built in 10W speakers provide powerful sound, eliminating the need for external speakers. Deepening the audio impact, built-in DTS Sound increases loudness without escalating distortion, while improving bass performance and vocal clarity. In addition, Acer True Harmony, a customized equalizer, fine-tunes and optimizes the frequency balance to deepen the impact of movies, games and music with enhanced bass and multidimensional sound.

“Our newest home entertainment projector is one of our best yet,” said Melanie Tarpey, director peripheral business, Acer Europe. “Leading short throw technology increases flexibility in placement options, while a wireless adapter makes transferring and projecting data easier and more convenient than ever. Home cinema enthusiasts will be thrilled with the Full HD visuals combined with dynamic 20W stereo audio with built-in DTS Sound that make movies and games breathtakingly lifelike.”

The H7550ST can also stream audio to a wireless Bluetooth headset, sound bar or speaker for additional listening options. Plus, two audio ports extend the ability to attach additional speakers for a powerful surround sound experience.
