BenQ Blue Core Laser Projector Technology (from press release):

Generating intense laser-powered brightness, BenQ’s dual synchronized color wheel and long-lasting DLP chip drive the high performance, innovation and value offered within the company’s Blue Core laser projector family.

Unlike traditional lamp-based projectors that require lamp replacements, these projectors deliver a long-lasting vibrant image with 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation and are virtually immune from color and contrast fading that can affect non DLP lamp-based projectors.

This feature saves on the expense of lamps and eliminates inconvenient system downtime due to maintenance. With high 100,000:1 contrast, 1.07 billion color display and 4,000-ANSI lumen (LH720/LW720/LX720) or 5,000-ANSI lumen (LU951ST/LU950) brightness, every image and word is perfectly and crisply projected for the best visual impact, even to the back of the room and in high ambient lighting.

In addition, the LW720, LH720, and LX720 can accurately reproduce over 90% of the Rec. 709 spectrum for demanding visual environments. Plus, the projectors’ powerful 10-watt built-in speaker adds captivating richness without having to install a separate speaker.

 

HDMI Connectivity and Classroom-Friendly Features (from press release):

BenQ’s LU951ST and LU950 are the first 5,000-ANSI lumen projectors in their price range to feature an HDMI output, so users can stage it, stack it and stream with flexibility. Stage it: The simple HDMI connection is perfect for putting two projectors side-by-side.

Stack it: Users can turn two 5,000-ANSI lumen projectors into a brilliant 10K ANSI lumen display without spending additional cost and labor on wiring and cabling. Stream: Users can stream digital audio and video output from the projector to any device to enable streaming functions from nearly any classroom.

With an advanced grayscale level for training and education, the LU951ST and LU950 also feature DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) Simulation Mode to view grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, clearly.

The projectors also boast features that enable seamless connectivity and operation, including HDBaseT and remote-control projector ID to assign a specific ID to each projector and avoid signal interference from nearby projectors.

Finally, the LU951ST is available in black, while the LU950 is available in white, allowing users to best match room aesthetics.
