ACER Projector Upgrades and New Monitors Out

Good things come to those who wait and yes, ACER is bringing in new upgrades on recent projector ranges and new monitors that are fit for home or business use.

They've been doing quite good and is extremely visible in the projector market and now they're raising the bar by including new wireless LED 1080p projectors with 3K lumens and laser projectors of 3,1K lumens. Aside from that, they have also released new Acer monitors that are equally nice.

For the PD and VD series, they've got the VD6510i and the PD1530i. The first is a wireless 3000 lumens LED projector which can do movies without a hitch while the latter has its colorspace twice larger than ordinary lamp projectors, which can be turned on and off in seconds. That would save you time in meetings or bonding time with family if you're fond of that. 

For a more energy efficient one, they've got the Acer XL series. This includes XL1220, XL1320W and XL1520. It delivers clear 1080p videos while staying very economical. It also lasts long on tests, having passed IP6X certifications and a 30,000 hour lifespan which means you're bound to be with it for years. That's a lot of productive meetings eh?

They also have the Acer UL and PL series which covers venues that needs projectors big or small. The Acer UL5630 is equipped with a laser diode which can do 4500 lumens worth of brightness, so imagine how big that can go. The PL7610, PL7610T and PL7510 on the other hand can handle 30K hour lifespan as well, so you can do presentations, movies, or commercially use it if needed.

Acer's B248Y, CBL272U, BL270 are all remarkable monitors from them. The first being the safest as it is designed with that in mind. It's eyesafe certified, has Acer Lightsense and Colorsense. It is FHD as well, and can be swiveled around even in a portrait way. The 

CBL272U has HDR10 support so you get clear looking display. It also has BlueLightShield Pro so you never have to worry about blue light hurting your eyes. This supports 178 degree viewing angles so you get the largest vistas when you need to. The BL270 has about the same safety features but has nice looks courtesy of the flexible placements and disappearing bezels. It also works with the Acer Smart Console App so you can easily display stuff even from your phone. Think of the things you can do with it!

If you're looking for one or more of these, make sure you're following @acerph on social channels as they're also discussing them there. I bet yah!

Better Audio and Home Cinema Systems From Philips

We started with a feast for the eyes that afternoon and yes I did really enjoy that part. What we were here for though is a similar thing.. a taste of the Philips brand of exquisite visual and sound quality. Have you heard of the Philips Golden Ears Academy?

Mr. Jason Chang, General Manager for WOOX in Asia Pacific says that they are proud to introduce these new Audio and Video devices to the Philippine market. WOOX is a Philips owned subsidiary that focuses on audio and video products. Now that they are bringing these gorgeous pieces of hardware in the country, ordinary users and audiophiles will surely enjoy their well researched and developed new line of UHD LED TV's, Wireless Speakers, Soundbar Speakers, Blu-ray Home Theaters and Surround on demand speakers.

Ivan Lui the Regional Product Manager (APMEA) for TP Vision introduced and discussed to us the Ultra High Definition TV's and how the new Ambilight feature enlarges the TV viewing experience by 10 percent. If you can also see above, the TV actually seems like it's floating no? This is because they've got experts from Europe designing these all for them. Aside from that, they've won countless awards for innovation and design in various bodies like CES, Reddot etc.!

Right here is Thomas Peeters, the Sound and Acoustics Architect from WOOX Innovations Hong Kong. He's involved in sound engineering, project management and the development of new product concepts. He also took part on Philips Research and the European Space Agency. His undeniable expertise in music and audio engineering has brought him to the offices of Philips to take charge in the development of headphone sound, acoustics and comfort. That afternoon, he delved much on the process of certifications done in the Philips Golden Ears Academy. The program was designed and developed for sound engineers in Philips. We were shown several exercises to actually depict every track whether it's bright, dark and show the minute differences of every frequency. It was a little mind blowing to see what they had to go through in order to achieve the perfect sound quality that only Philips can introduce. Taking these exams would make them connoisseurs of sound and will make them certified in four levels of difficulty namely Basic, Bronze, Silver, Golden Ears. I think there's even a Platinum one but the frequency change was too minute to even hear from where I was so I'm sure everyone's going to have a hard time passing that. If you want to see it for yourself, take the exam at https://www.goldenears.philips.com/en/signup.html

The unit on top just below the TV is the new Philips 5.1 3D Bli-ray Home Theater. The sound quality and all in one feature shows a sleek, masculine but convenient look in every angle. The things they do to research and develop that perfect standard for sound is even impressive. 

The brilliant picture quality also encompasses devices because it evenly stretched the streamed phone display in this Ultra HD TV. The multi core ultra pixel HD engine gave us great depth and clarity.

The sound bars were really interesting. Don't let the small and sleek lines fool you because as far as sound goes, it packs a wallop. You can even remove the two side speakers and put them around you. The surround in demand thingy is something unusual for me though because I didn't even think about putting one at home. It made total sense though. The Fidelio line especially, it was sound perfection. You can also check out the Philips Soundbar HTL6140 which we experienced that afternoon.

I was also amazed on their capability to have these things networked. They've got proprietary frequency connections on their devices that makes setup an ease. All you need to do is plug it into power and have wireless connectivity on them do the work. It's also got the audio really good even if it's in that format. I know some people who don't actually believe you can get wireless sound this good.

We also saw their brand new Philips M1X DJ Sound System. It's like a party in a box. They have launched this late last year as they partnered with World #1 DJ Arvin Van Buuren. You can mix, play and share everything in one device. You can attach your Apple Device on the lightning cable and get the party started anytime, anywhere. Pair it up with heart thumping HIFI systems like the NTRX500 or NTRX700 and you can turn this all into a freakin concert! Play the tunes and it'll mix it up for you without any effort. Press the button and it can even highlight the best part on your chorus. 

Unbelievable that they can do this without any professional DJ in place. Other than that, take your DJ dreams into reality by getting the A5-PRO professional DJ headphones that's distortion free even at high volumes. Isn't that a dream? Check their channels below for pricing and more information.

How NOT To Miss The NBA Finals

In a land composed of 7,107 islands, 96.1 Million people and streets lined up with basketball courts in almost every street corner, I guess the world has taken notice that the Philippines is also crazy about the NBA Finals. In my timeline alone, I've seen friends place bets, boyfriends and girlfriends take sides and siblings not talking anymore on the dinner table. Two things, you are either a Spurs fan (like me)... or for Miami Heat (who we think is going to lose Game 3 *insert your sad face here*). Not everyone gets to watch the games because it is streamed live in the morning. It also happens right when everybody is already at work. Ha!

You won't be able to concentrate on what you're doing. Since the standing is already 1-1, the games 3 & 4 is happening in Miami and you still have no idea if Kahwi Leonard and Chris Bosh will step up the plate or improve their free throw shots, you just have to know who will win game number 3. Well lo and behold since it's a work day... so you can't file your hard earned leave credits just for that plus imagine the pile of documents that'll end up on your table the next day. Well, how about if I tell you there's actually a way to watch the FINALS... LIVE, ON DEMAND and in HD? Here's how...

1.) Just go to www.smart.com.ph/nba and choose to use Smart Prepaid, Postpaid or Smart Bro Prepaid/Postpaid plans.

2.) Make sure you have enough Prepaid load on your account. If you are on Post Paid, it'll reflect on your next bill. Go to https://epins.gamex.ph/ and click on the NBA League Pass logo as seen below.

3.) It will redirect you to a loading page, remember this is only exclusive for Smart, Talk N Text and Sun Cellular. Choose the denomination and press Add to Cart, choose Checkout then input your Smart, Talk N Text and Sun Cellular number.

4.) After submitting your number, it'll send you a verification code. Send this particular verification code to 3161. Once it's successful, it'll send you the Promotion Code through SMS together with the purchase details. Go to https://epins.gamex.ph/nbaleaguepass and see the instructions how to watch the games. Noticed anything? You didn't even HAVE a credit card for this transaction yet you can watch and purchase this service. Isn't that amazing?

Now all I've gotta do is to wait for the game to start. The site also has the schedules on it so all you need to do is wait for 9PM Eastern Standard Time. In the mean time, you can enjoy the Finals Game 3 Preview which contains an analysis of Game 2 and things to look out for (like players and plays) on Game 3 in Miami. It's going to be a tough one for the Spurs since the Miami Heat hasn't lost a single game in their turf. The home court advantage is there but remember, the Spurs already did beat them in Game 1. The testosterone levels are creeping in. If you missed the next few games, you won't be sad because you can always watch it on HD without even using your credit cards. Unless you swiped and bet against the Spurs of course! :P

One good thing is that Smart, Talk N Text and Sun Cellular let's you experience this and more on mobile LTE plans too because they are the Official Mobile Broadband Partners of the NBA!

As for me... My mobile phone and tablet is ready with NBA GAME TIME.

NBA Game Time is available in Apple Store and Google Play

See you at the games! It's starting... and I'm gonna watch this all on HD! The Spurs is also leading! Awesome! :)
