Acer launches new line of Vero Laser Projectors

 

Vero HL68 Series features Acer Vero HL6810ATV smart projector with an embedded Android TV dongle

Acer today announced the launch of its new eco-friendly Vero projectors, designed to elevate home entertainment experiences while minimizing their environmental impact. Two new models are equipped with 4K UHD resolution and HDR10 compatibility to deliver stunning visuals and enhanced brightness with 4000 ANSI lumens from its laser/LED hybrid light source. The Acer Vero HL6810ATV comes with an Acer-exclusive Android TV[3,4] embedded dongle design, giving users access to smart home features at their fingertips. 

In line with the Vero line’s advocacy for sustainability, the new laser projectors are designed to consume less power without sacrificing performance and offer long-lasting brightness consistency with up to a 30,000-hour[1] lifespan. Their hybrid light source is also 100% mercury-free and the devices incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in their chassis and recycled paper for packaging.

Acer Vero HL68 Series Projectors: Cinematic Viewing and Gaming Experiences in 4K 

The latest projector offerings feature the Acer Vero HL6810 and Acer Vero HL6810ATV smart projectors for home entertainment. These models feature 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) resolution and 4,000 ANSI lumens through their laser/LED hybrid light source so crystal-clear images and vibrant colors come alive when streaming or gaming on the big screen, even in well-lit environments. Details are vivid even in the darkest of scenes thanks to their 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and the ability to reach 105% of the Rec. 709 color gamut for pinpoint color accuracy. Plus, these are HDR10/HLG compatible, producing a larger spectrum of color and brightness accuracy through four available modes to accommodate various types of content. Acer’s tailor-made Football mode is also available on these models to optimize scenes projected on larger surfaces to make them more realistic and vivid, like watching everything unfold in front of their eyes. 

Unlocking More Experiences with Android TV Features ​ 

The Vero HL6810ATV features an embedded Android TV dongle located at the back of the chassis, helping simplify installations and eliminating unnecessary cables for a cleaner setup. With an Android TV[3,4] dongle, the smart projector offers direct access to in-demand entertainment content and streaming applications such as Netflix and YouTube without the need to connect to external devices. The smart projector can be controlled using voice-activated prompts with a dedicated remote or a smartphone for added convenience.

With support for 4K UHD resolution, viewers can enjoy next-level visual fidelity when streaming their favorite content. The projectors offer 1.3x zoom capability to allow for more flexibility when adjusting and projecting in different viewing spaces and go hand in hand with the HV keystone and 4 corner correction technology for the best possible views. In terms of protection, the devices are IP5X-rated to protect against potential damage from external factors and help lessen the negative effects of blue light exposure to viewers’ eyes thanks to Acer BlueLight Shield technology. Audiovisual enthusiasts can easily connect their amplifiers or external speakers through the projectors’ HDMI 2.0[5] (audio return) port and enjoy 3D cinematic experiences in the comfort of their own homes thanks to Blu-ray 3D support. 

Eco-friendly All the Way

The third generation of the Acer Vero HL68 Series projectors now adopts highly-efficient and high-performance laser/LED hybrid optical engines projecting the desired color and brightness while saving up to 48%[2] power as compared to lamp-based projectors. This not only helps minimize the impact on the environment with less power consumption but also extends the devices’ usability and lowers the total cost of ownership with up to 30,000 hour[1] lifespan for its light source. Power saving mode and the instant-on-off features further support the Vero cause by instinctively minimizing power usage when using the different modes or when left idle. Plus, the light source of the Acer HL68 Series projectors is 100% mercury-free and utilizes post-consumer recycled plastic in the chassis and paper in its fully recyclable packaging to minimize the devices’ carbon footprint.

Get rid of dandruff without leaving hair dry and lifeless with Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing

Nobody wants to deal with the hassle and embarrassment of dandruff. Dandruff is usually caused by a number of factors such as irritated and oily skin, dry skin, and most commonly a yeast-like fungus called malassezia that feeds on oils on the scalp. Scalp health expert Selsun Blue shares that there are many ways to fight dandruff and keep locks soft and healthy while doing so. 

 

One of the ways to do this is to include more zinc in your diet with meat, dairy, seeds, nuts, and eggs. Zinc plays a crucial role in promoting hair tissue growth and repair. It regulates the growth of bacteria on your scalp, and also reduces the oil that bacteria feed on. As a result, it effectively alleviates dryness and itchiness of the scalp. 

Modifying your shower routine can also have a significant impact. People with dandruff, for example, should avoid hot showers. Hot water on your scalp can lead to inflammation, resulting in dandruff, itchiness, and hair loss as hot water damages hair follicles and disrupts the scalp's natural balance.

 

Even massaging your scalp using a circular motion helps reduce dandruff. Shampooing with a circular scalp massage distributes shampoo evenly across the scalp, ensuring a thorough cleanse. The gentle circular motion helps exfoliate the scalp, removing dead skin cells and any buildup of dirt and oil. 

 

However, many dandruff shampoos just leave your hair looking dry and lifeless, especially if it’s colored or chemically treated. It’s best to find a shampoo that is also kind to your hair—and Selsun Blue has the answer with its Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. Best used at least twice a week, this Selsun Blue offering is especially formulated to get rid of dandruff while also protecting and retaining the moisture in the scalp and the hair for clean, soft, and revitalized locks. 

 

Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing’s secret is its active ingredients. First is 1% Selenium Sulfide, a US FDA-approved anti-infective and anti-fungal agent used to address the root cause of dandruff. It reduces scalp itching, irritation, and redness by inhibiting the growth of the yeast responsible for the infection. 

 

There’s also Honey Extract which moisturizes hair follicles, smoothing the hair shaft and bringing back shine and luster to dry and dull hair. Its natural humectant nature also locks in moisture, preventing future moisture loss. It also includes other ingredients such as Arginine HCL and Lysine HCL that add to the shampoo’s conditioning properties to leave hair clean and conditioned. 

 

Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is now available in 120mL bottle and 6mL sachet at Watsons and Mercury Drug branches and online through the Mentholatum store on Lazada and Shopee.

HUAWEI Pura 70 Series Raises the Bar for Smartphones in the Industry

 HUAWEI’s latest line of smartphones, the Pura 70 Series, is fast approaching in the Philippines. Pre-orders for the HUAWEI Pura 70 series have already begun, both online and in physical stores, but as the brand’s most fashionable phones to date, the days leading up to its release have been nothing short of stylish, living up to its reputation as the phone driven for both fashion and functionality. Starting today, at PHP 47,999, Filipinos can get their hands on the most powerful and stylish smartphone this year nationwide!

A celebration of fashion-forward 

HUAWEI hosted an exclusive gala at the Shangri-La at The Fort, Bonifacio Global City on May 23. The event, which was held with Vogue as their official media partner, served as a celebration of Huawei's commitment to innovation and Vogue’s renowned expertise in style and photography.

‘Let's not forget about the forward symbol design of Pura 70 Ultra - a symbol of progress, of moving forward fearlessly. It's a reminder that in fashion, as in life, we must always embrace change and keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible” Jericho Rosales, HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra User.

Designed to push the boundaries of smartphone photography and style, the event has reaffirmed the Pura 70 Series as the new standard for excellence in the mobile industry.

“The HUAWEI Pura 70 Series' blend of technology and ease of use provided me with the confidence and tools I needed to produce professional-quality photos right from the start” Danyl Generican, Editor, Vogue Man.

The XMAGE Awards ceremony, which was also announced at the event, celebrates photographs spanning different themes and categories like Faces, Moments, So Far So Close, Hello Life, Art & Fashion, Style, Focus x Time, Action. This year’s event highlights collaborations with esteemed partners like Fotomoto and Vogue, but the spotlight is on the HUAWEI community, whose members play a significant role as photo contributors and former XMAGE winners.

Continuing to highlight photography as a prominent feature of the phones, guests had the opportunity to visit the XMAGE Exhibit, which paid homage to HUAWEI’s different moment highlights, namely moments of time, smile, beauty, and discovery. 

HUAWEI’s “moments” theme is a key player throughout the gala, as it symbolizes different aspects of the Pura 70 Series’ unparalleled photographic capabilities. Currently, four “moments” themes are highlighted through the Series, and each focuses on a different side of photography when taking shots on the Pura 70 Series.

The first theme, "moments of time," talks about the unique and heartwarming stories found everywhere in everyday life. It catches fleeting moments which often go unnoticed by most people. With the Pura 70 Series, as well as through XMAGE technology, these serendipitous moments are well-preserved and kept alive for years to come. 

“Moments of discovery” stresses going beyond exploring the world around us and, instead, looking for stories, connections, and discoveries through them. HUAWEI’s XMAGE technology seamlessly documents one’s journey through life with ease, and also records their discoveries and knowledge of the world around them. These pieces of discovery not only highlight the profound beauty surrounding us but also celebrate the transformative power these moments have in our everyday lives.

“Moments of smiles” brings out the joy and positivity typically associated with Filipinos, who, despite facing challenges every day, always have a smile on their faces. XMAGE reliably captures these moments, and preserves them as close to real life as possible. By snapping these moments, HUAWEI honors the Filipino’s spirit, smile, and resilience amidst hardships.

Lastly, “moments of beauty” celebrates the Pura 70 Series’ ability to capture the world in its most stunning form. These are particularly evident when an athlete’s body is used as an example. Here, XMAGE effortlessly shows their beauty and symmetry, all while shedding light to the perseverance and hardships before inevitable successes. The Pura 70 Series not only acknowledges the aesthetic beauty of these moments but also the dedication, hard work, and achievement behind them. 

Capture everything, anytime, anywhere

One of the Pura 70 Series’ highlight features is its camera module. Engineered to redefine smartphone photography, each model within the series is equipped with cutting-edge camera technology that ensures every shot is nothing short of picture perfect. Rest assured, with every snap, the result is vibrant, sharp, and color-accurate. 

Regardless of model, each unit features the Ultra Speed Snapshot and Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera, which allow for professional-grade portraits, meaning users can take fast shots while maintaining the subject’s integrity through crisp detail and clarity. 

Witness the power of Pura and the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 3

The HUAWEI Pura 70 Series will be available starting May 31, 2024, but preorders are already available through HUAWEI’s physical and online stores. 

You may also get the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 3 with a fluoroelastomer strap for only PHP 6,499, or opt for the premium nylon strap version at PHP 6,999!
