Picture and sound quality
Image technology: The Acer X1229 uses proven DLP technology with a 0.55" BrilliantColor chip (DarkChip 3 DMD). With 4,800 ANSI lumens in standard mode and 3,840 ANSI lumens in ECO mode, it delivers a bright, high-contrast projection even in bright rooms. The native contrast ratio of 20,000:1 ensures deep black levels and detailed images. Acer LumiSense technology continuously analyses the ambient brightness and the projected image to optimally adjust brightness and colour saturation. Acer ColorBoost 3D with a 6-segment colour wheel guarantees true-to-life colours throughout the entire life cycle – in both 2D and 3D. Acer ColorSafe II technology and the 5-year warranty on the DLP chip underline its colour stability.
Audio: The projector features an integrated 3-watt mono speaker. For enhanced audio playback, a 3.5 mm audio output is available for connecting external speakers or sound systems.
Playback formats & sources: The X1229 offers two HDMI inputs (1.4a standard) with HDCP support for digital signal transmission. There is also an analogue VGA input (D-Sub 15-pin), a composite video input (RCA) and a 3.5 mm audio input. Acer Smart Format technology automatically detects input signals up to 1080p and adjusts the display accordingly – no manual switching required. The HDMI 1.4a standard allows direct playback of 3D content from 3D Blu-ray players, 3D set-top boxes and 3D games consoles without an additional PC. Original 24p playback shows feature films judder-free in their original format.
Cable recommendation: A 1.80 m VGA cable is included in the box. For HDMI connections over longer distances, we recommend certified HDMI cables with HDCP support.
Mounting and installation
Installation options: The Acer X1229 supports flexible mounting options: rear and front projection as well as ceiling mounting with 360° rotation and up to 25° tilt. Manual keystone correction allows a correction of ±40° vertically. The installation menu can be accessed via the menu button – even without a connected signal source, which makes alignment much easier.
In the box: The projector is supplied with the following components: 1x VGA cable (1.80 m), 1x power cable (Euro plug, IEC 320 C13), 1x lens cap, 1x carry bag, 1x quick start guide (printed), 1x USB Type-A output (5 V DC), 1x PIN security card
| Image size (diagonal) | Image width (approx.) | Throw distance |
|---|---|---|
| 80 inches | 1.71 m | 1.71–1.89 m |
| 100 inches | 2.14 m | 2.14–2.37 m |
| 120 inches | 2.57 m | 2.57–2.84 m |
Note on wall distance planning: Add approx. 10.5 cm for the housing depth of the projector plus approx. 7–12 cm for power and signal cables to the values in the table.
Running and follow-up costs
Power consumption:
| Operating mode | Service life | 2 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mode | 5,000 hours | 6.8 years | 1.7 years |
| ECO mode | 10,000 hours | 13.7 years | 3.4 years |
| EcoPro mode | 20,000 hours | 27.4 years | 6.8 years |
Power consumption by operating mode: Standard mode 260 watts, ECO mode 205 watts, standby less than 0.5 watts. The Auto Shutdown function switches the projector off automatically if no input signal is detected after a preset time – saving additional power and extending lamp life.
Lamp life: The Philips 203 W UHP lamp achieves a maximum service life of 5,000 hours in standard mode, 10,000 hours in ECO mode and 20,000 hours in EcoPro mode. With daily use of 2 hours, this corresponds to an operating life of around 6.8 years (standard), 13.7 years (ECO) or 27.4 years (EcoPro). The top-loading lamp design allows easy, cost-effective lamp replacement without dismounting the projector.
Conclusion
The Acer X1229 is a cost-effective, reliable XGA projector for the office, school and home cinema. With 4,800 ANSI lumens, DLP technology and smart features such as Acer LumiSense and Wall Color Compensation, it offers optimum picture quality in many applications. The long lamp life of up to 20,000 hours in EcoPro mode, the top-loading lamp design and the 5-year warranty on the DLP chip significantly reduce the total cost of ownership. 3D support via HDMI 1.4a, flexible mounting and extensive security and convenience features (AC Power On, PIN security, Auto Shutdown) make it a versatile solution for a wide range of requirements.
