BenQ LH600ST short-throw Full HD LED projector for Commercial use

BenQ ushers in the LH600ST, a new short-throw Full HD LED projector, offering immersive entertainment and adept presentations for continuous commercial usage. This projector boasts a generous 180-inch screen diagonal and a luminosity that scales to 2,500 ANSI lumens.

The BenQ LH600ST, a short-throw Full HD LED projector, effortlessly caters to the realms of immersive entertainment and polished professional presentations. With a luminosity of 2,500 ANSI lumens and a pledge of uninterrupted operation from BenQ, it emerges as a formidable choice. BenQ underscores its LED light source, extolling its longevity of up to 20,000 hours (or a staggering 30,000 hours in Eco mode), equivalent to a relentless 24/7 utility over more than two and a quarter years.

Distinguishing itself, the LH600ST dazzles with its short throw optics. Positioned at a mere 2.75 meters projection distance, this BenQ marvel conjures screen diagonals that stretch up to 180 inches (that’s approximately 4.57 meters). Moreover, its adaptability shines as it effortlessly facilitates both horizontal and vertical image projection. This translates into captivating environments, ideally suited for leisure destinations like golf simulators, bowling alleys, or go-kart tracks.

Fueling this visual spectacle is the LH600ST’s deployment of a 0.65-inch DC3 DMD chip, effectively enveloping 95% of the Rec. 709 color spectrum. Its mission is to regale audiences with vibrant and lifelike imagery. Boasting eight distinct image modes and an additional LED for the secondary green channel, it finely tunes visuals to match the specific application. The 1.2x zoom lens furnishes adaptability to cater to varying spatial constraints.

Maintaining visual integrity takes precedence with a keystone correction offering vertical and horizontal adjustments of up to +/- 30 degrees. This ensures images remain pristine and aligned, even when cast upon inclined surfaces. The screen fill function further sweetens the deal by enabling native resolution adjustment to desired aspect ratios, all while preserving image quality, thereby accommodating image diagonals spanning from 60 to 200 inches (or 1.52 to 5.1 meters).

In the realm of connectivity, the LH600ST shines bright, welcoming image signals via two HDMI ports (version 1.4) or two USB-A ports. Notably, one USB port reserves a niche for a dongle, a gateway to integrating the projector into the existing infrastructure via WLAN (supporting 2.4 or 5 GHz). As an auditory complement, an embedded 10-watt speaker delivers audio in harmony with the visual spectacle.
