Acer sent us word that it's expanding its projector line with the U5200, an ultra-short throw model intended for teachers and educators.
"The key features that are most important for schools have now been integrated into the new Acer U5200 projector, such as LAN control, display over USB, and Ultra-Short Throw projection to help create a compelling learning environment," Acer said.
Using an advanced mirror-reflection type of ultra-short throw projection, Acer says the U5200 can display large images even when placed close to the screen. All that's required is a distance of 13cm to produce sharp and accurate images up to 195.6cm (diagonal).
Other features include up to 5000 hours of lamp life (ECO mode), native XGA resolution, 2,500 ANSI Lumens, 1.07 billion displayable colors, IR remote control with laser pointer, and integrated 20W speakers.
The U5200 will be available starting March 1, 2011 for around $1,800.

That's too expensive for schools. All the projectors in my old school are about 600 - 700.
