Acer has added a new model to its home theater lineup. The HL6820GTV is a 4K laser projector that includes built-in Google TV and gaming features like a 144Hz variable refresh rate. It will be available in the EMEA region in the third quarter of 2026, with a starting price of €1,399.
Acer HL6820GTV Specifications
The projector uses a 0.47-inch DMD panel to display a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution. Instead of a traditional lamp, it uses a laser light source. Acer states this allows the unit to reach a brightness of 4,000 ANSI lumens in standard mode, which makes it usable in rooms with ambient daylight.
There is also an Eco mode that reduces the brightness to 3,200 lumens, lowers the fan noise to 29 dBA, and extends the expected lifespan of the laser from 20,000 to 30,000 hours. According to the company, this laser setup consumes 35% less power than lamp-based projectors operating at the same brightness.
For media playback, the projector covers the Rec. 709 color standard and has a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,500,000:1. It includes a built-in Google TV dongle, meaning you can access streaming apps directly from the interface and use voice search through the remote without needing to plug in a separate streaming stick.
For connectivity, it includes two HDMI 2.1 ports. While it outputs at 4K for standard viewing, it has specific modes for gaming. If you lower the resolution to 1080p, the projector supports a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms input lag. It also supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 144Hz, which helps prevent screen tearing when connected to a PC or a current-generation console.
The unit weighs 3.4 kg and includes a 1.3x manual zoom. With a throw ratio of 1.127 to 1.465, it can project a 100-inch image from 2.5 meters away. For setup, you can align the picture using four-corner adjustment and manual vertical and horizontal keystone correction. It also carries an IP5X rating for dust resistance, supports 360-degree projection, and is rated for 24/7 continuous use, which are features often required for public displays or exhibitions.
In related news, Acer has also launched an affordable 1080p smart projector with built-in Netflix and YouTube support.
