That is, they are all obviously built as business/education projectors, based on the feature sets provided, but in some cases, they may get an extra “home theater” feature to two not normally found on commercial projectors. Like most of these 4K UHD projectors – Acer, and other manufacturers just aren’t 100% sure who to sell them to. Like the Acer VL7860, they sell at the $4K and up price point on the street. To date, we have reviewed two really direct competitors to the VL7860 – both 4K UHD DLPs with laser engines: The Optoma UHZ65 and the Dell S718QL. This Acer, after Eric worked his magic, did about as good a job as any projector I’ve reviewed in the last year or more – with the exception of a few Sonys. When you calibrate projectors, you expect near perfect color, but the reality is always a bit less. I was especially pleased with the color results that Eric obtained. Well, Acer will certainly earn a couple of well-deserved gold stars if they successfully improve in two areas.įirst, a quick clue or two: Mostly, I want to say that Eric calibrated the VL7860 and dropped it off two weeks ago. I mention that because most companies sort of just want “issues” to disappear, and get addressed in the next generation products. We were waiting to see what they came up with. One thing I really like – we pointed out a couple of issues to Acer (discussed within), and they seemed very big on addressing them. This Acer is a good one! It has some real strengths and also a couple of rough edges. Hardware pages, Special Features and Performance pages, however, definitely have conversations that relate to non-home use as well as home theater. Much of our conversation about things like color and black levels are more than what is needed for many business applications (though not all). This review looks at the VL7860 as both a home theater projector and also one for commercial applications. The VL7860 projector, is the first 4K UHD one with respectable black levels that I’ve seen, and that makes it a strong, 4K capable home theater projector! It is the thirteenth 4K UHD projector to cross my threshold. If we count 4K UHD laser (fourth) and true 4K projectors with laser engines, that adds up to about 10. Acer’s VL7860 4K UHD Laser Projector using DLP technology is hardly the first 4K UHD projector we’ve reviewed, (they keep showing up), nor is it the first 4K UHD projector with a laser engine here.
