Acer has introduced a feature that is increasingly common with high-end TVs in its latest Predator gaming projectors. The variable refresh rate (VRR) is one of the standout features of the Acer GD 711 and GM 712 4K projectors.

The new Acer gaming-centric projectors will debut in China in November 2021, and subsequently in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa between December 2021 and January 2022. The new projectors are priced between $1,600 and $1,800 although there is no indication yet on their US availability.

The Acer GD 711 is a LED projector capable of 1,450 ANSI lumens brightness and supports HDR10. It supports 4K resolution in standard mode and its variable refresh rate mode helps to modulate the image quality even when using very powerful gaming consoles and fast PCs.

The GD 711 offers 1080p resolution in VRR mode but boosts the refresh rate as appropriate dynamically. The GD 711 has a wide range of possible throw sizes but Acer recommends a 100-inch screen projected from a distance of about 2.7 meters. The projector has an estimated lifespan of 30,000 hours in Eco mode or 20,000 hours in standard mode.

The Acer GM 712 gaming projector is lamp-based and slightly heavier than the GD 711. It is also less expensive than the GD 711 and offers 3,600 ANSI lumens of brightness with a lifespan estimated between 5,000 and 12,000 hours. The variable refresh rate mode is also present in the GM 712, as well as HDR 10 and 4K resolution.

Both the GD 711 and GM 712 have the Aptoide TV App Store built-in together with the different ports including HDMI and USB-A. The VRR technology in projectors is an innovation that makes the two models arguably the only projectors with the VRR feature.

Full pricing and availability details will likely surface as we move closer to the unveiling and sale of the two VRR-enabled projectors.
