Description
The BenQ LU960 is a WUXGA (1920x1200) fixed-lens installation laser projector delivering 5500 ANSI lumens, designed for simulation, museum, exhibition and other large-venue applications that demand high brightness and long-term reliability. A three-stage laser light source offers 20,000, 38,000 or 70,000-hour lifespans depending on the selected mode, and 3,000,000:1 contrast with 92% Rec.709 colour coverage delivers rich, detailed imagery.
A 1.127-1.697 throw ratio with 1.5x zoom, plus up to +/-62% vertical and +/-24% horizontal lens shift, gives substantial placement flexibility, and support for 360-degree and portrait-mode projection, Corner Fit, warping and edge blending makes the LU960 suitable for multi-projector immersive and simulation installations. Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.0 inputs plus HDMI output, DisplayPort, VGA in/out, LAN (RJ45) and HDBaseT for long-distance video/control/audio over a single cable, along with LAN-based control via Crestron, AMX and PJLink.
