Acer Predator GD711 specs
The Acer Predator GD711 is a projector capable of up to 4K LED projection with HDR10 and covers 125% of the Rec.709 colour space which Acer says gets you an accurate cinematic colour reproduction. Being a gaming monitor, it’s also capable of outputting up to a 240Hz refresh rate, though for that you will need to lower it down to 1080p. There’s variable refresh rate too to ensure minimal tearing when using the Predator GD711.
Acer also says that the Predator GD711 is capable of up to a 300-inch projection distance, though they do recommend that for the best output you use it at 2.7 meters away for a screen that’s 100-inches in size. It’s capable of 4,000 LED lumens of brightness and 1,450 ANSI lumens of of brightness. For comparison, the similarly-priced Samsung Freestyle only gets you around 250 ANSI lumens, which is why when we unboxed it we found the brightness of the projection rather dim and lackluster.
Other than that, the Acer Predator GD711 is able to produce a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. You’ll also find a Game Mode setting on the Predator GD711 which lets you tweak the contrast and dark levels to fit your liking. There’s even a Football Mode which gets you a brighter, more saturated look for watching football. For audio, you get a 10W speaker while the remote itself apparently has an antimicrobial layer over it. As for I/O, there’s two HDMI ports, a Kensington lock, an audio jack and two USB-A ports on the back.
It’s a smart projector too, coming pre-loaded with the third-party Aptoide TV App market where you can download apps like YouTube, Netflix and more. Alternatively, the Predator GD711 supports wireless casting via the Miracast app so that you can hook it up to your smartphone or laptop. Other features include an auto-keystone function, presence detection to automatically turn on and a rated lifespan of 30,000 hours.
