Acer’s H5360 and X1261 projectors take it to the third dimension

March 2nd, 2010

You know who else is firmly situated on the 3D bandwagon? Acer . This fine morning the outfit has busted out two new beamers, both of which are eager and willing to be paired with NVIDIA’s 3D Vision setup for viewing in the third dimension. Outside of that, neither one is particularly awe-inspiring, but if you’ve got a 3D Blu-ray player on the brain, you might need one of these to fully complete the nerded-out basement experiment. Up first is the H5360, offering a native 1,280 x 720 resolution, a 3,200:1 contrast ratio, 2,500 ANSI lumens and an HDMI socket. The lower-end X1261 gets a lowly XGA resolution, a similar amount of brightness and a component video port. Check ‘em real, real soon for $699 and $579 in order of mention, and hop on past the break for the rest of the details.

NVIDIA shows its 3D Blu-ray readiness in run-up to CES, Acer demos 120Hz LCD

December 9th, 2009

We recently got a chance to check out NVIDIA’s 3D Blu-ray ecosystem, and while we’re sure we’ll be all 3D Blu-ray’d out by the time CES is over, it was our first chance to see the new tech in action, and it seems pretty raring to go. Specifically we got to check out a movie film (we can’t say which for legal reasons) on a fancy new upcoming Acer LCD (the 24-inch G245, pictured above) that does 120Hz and can be synced with NVIDIA’s 3D shutter-based glasses. The 3D looked just fine, on par with other movies we’ve seen from NVIDIA in the past , and close to what we’ve seen in theaters, with the exception being that this is being delivered on a backwards-compatible, consumer-friendly Blu-ray disc. 3D Blu-ray is encoded in a new MVC-AVC format, which passes through a regular 1080p video for incompatible hardware, but provides a 3D image for the software and decode hardware capable of sussing it out. Right now NVIDIA’s 3D Blu-ray capable on existing GeForce GT 220 and GT 240 GPUs, along with its upcoming Fermi cards due next year. Software is even more plentiful, with Arcsoft, Core, Cyberlink and Sonic all promising to by ready for 3D Blu-ray titles when they start shipping next year. Once the 3D Blu-ray spec is formally announced we’re sure the floodgate will open even wider, but for now it seems NVIDIA has a nice jump on the tech, and we’re sure they wouldn’t mind pocketing a few of your gaming dollars in the meantime.

ASRock’s family of nettops may not be anything special when it comes to design, but the 330HT-BD can definitely handle its fair share of multimedia. The Atom CPU could unquestionably use a bit lot more oomph, but the NVIDIA GPU and the integrated Blu-ray drive make this little fellow quite the entertainer. Care to see what it looks like inside and out? Hop on past the break and mash play, then.

Packard Bell imedia lineup gets an Acer-inspired refresh

July 3rd, 2009

Sponsors

Packard Bell recently overhauled its logo in an effort to keep up with the times, but are its offerings up to the same task? The new imedia lineup immediately recalls the recently announced M-series desktops from Acer, and that’s no accident . The innards are remarkably similar too, with the top models sporting Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom II X4 processors, a 1.5GB GeForce GT230, HDMI out, Blu-Ray combo drive and a maximum of 8GB DDR3 memory and 1TB of storage. While none of the specs are on the blistering edge of innovation, there’s plenty of power there and keen pricing could make them an attractive proposition. The entry-level Celeron-based units start at ?299 ($490) in the UK.
