This is mostly a review of the Acer X110 with much reference to the Optoma ES522, now my 'spare' projector.
The Acer X110 is a budget SVGA video projector which, at the time of writing, can be had online for about £258, inlcuding VAT and overnight delivery from a firm in Birmingham called Projector Planet. I found this company easy to deal with and the goods arrived via DPD on time as promised. Acer X110 comes with a two-year return-to-base warranty and a one-year warranty on the lamp....

One small nag I forgot to mention about Acer X110...
<br/>
<br/>Because the protective lens cap fits 'over' the lens focus ring, every time you move and replace the lens cap it knocks out your focus setting. Whereas, on Optoma ES522 the lens cap pushes into the lens 'recess', so doesn't affect the focus setting at all.
<br/>
<br/>Acer please take note.

What on earth is the USB port used for? Cannot find much info except one or two places on the internet where people are guessing it is to either upgrade the firmware or play content from USB devices (but some say content cannot be played on this projector from a USB device)
<br/>
<br/>Also, the specs say that the max. resolution is 1080p in compact mode. How do I put the projector in compact mode? If I connect a video source which is outputting a 1080p signal, will it automatically use the compact mode? Can I input any picture and configure the projector to use compact mode for display (at 1080p)?

I found this review very helpful because it went into considerable detail in non technical language that the first time projector buyer can understand, and its comparison with another budget projector (the Optoma) was useful.
