Acer today announced world’s first auto-portrait mode portable LED wireless projector C250i with stand-free multi-angle orientation. The world’s first auto-portrait mode LED wireless projector C250i provides users with an effortless way to share smartphone content anytime, anywhere. The super lightweight projector packs a punch when it comes to multi-angle viewing, resolution, battery life, and overall ease of use. Unlike other projectors limited to horizontal throws, the C250i supports stand-free multi-angle projection thanks to its unique twisted roll design. This design is not only stylish, but saves space while offering users complete flexibility in projecting their screen onto walls, ceilings, and any surface they desire – without requiring a stand or tripod.
The innovative auto-portrait mode lets users directly project portrait video chatting or live-streaming sessions (on Facebook or Instagram etc) wirelessly, utilizing the full projection surface without black bars on the side. The C250i supports beautiful high-definition 1080p imagery and a battery life of up to 5 hours from a single charge. Both Android and iOS users can connect to the C250i wirelessly for an effortless, cable-free experience at home or on the road. The C250i’s LED module offers up to a 30,000-hour lifespan, a wide color gamut that is 100% NTSC-compatible, 300 ANSI lumens brightness, and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio. The C250i also serves as a portable power bank to recharge phones on the go. The projector’s built-in Bluetooth speakers are rated at 5 watts for best-in-class sound when watching movies or TV shows.
In addition to wireless connectivity, the Acer C250i also features a standard HDMI port for connecting and viewing content on a laptop or desktop computer. USB Type-C and Type-A ports support video-out for smartphones and PCs alike, and is 100% plug and play so no additional software or drivers are needed. The USB Type-A port allows direct multimedia playback from a USB drive for an incredibly sleek and PC-free projection experience. The Acer C250i will be available in January 2020 in EMEA starting at EUR 539; in North America starting at USD 489; and in China starting at RMB 3,299.
