BenQ LU951ST 5000-Lumen WUXGA Short-Throw Laser DLP Projector

BenQ LU951ST Overview

The LU951ST has HDBaseT, VGA, S-Video, RCA composite video, and three HDMI inputs to support both analog and digital video sources. Its VGA and HDMI outputs allows you to daisy-chain multiple projectors or displays to show the same video source. A built-in 10W speaker eliminates the need for a separate speaker system, but the projector also features an 1/8" audio output to connect external speakers. It is controllable via Ethernet, HDBaseT, or RS-232 and includes a remote control.

BlueCore Laser Technology

Enhanced Brightness

The virtually zero-deviation alignment of the BlueCore laser diodes helps boost luminous flux into the light tunnel to produce up to 5000 lumens of brightness.

Secondary Yellow-Infused Color Wheel

Dual synchronized BlueCore color wheels use an additive yellow segment, simulating the RGBY spectrum for augmented chromatic performance.

Hermetically Sealed DLP Chip

The DLP chip is hermetically sealed to resist heat to help it provide up to 100,000 hours of life without degradation.

Designed for Long-Lasting Image Quality

DLP Technology

The BlueCore line of projectors use a single DLP chip designed to produce true-to-life colors and legible text.

WUXGA Resolution for Enhanced Detail and Expanded Content

With WUXGA (1920 x 1200) native resolution that exceeds Full HD 1080p, the BenQ LU951ST offers enhanced details and image clarity when projecting high-resolution images.

High Brightness for Clarity in Bright Environments

The LU951ST outputs up to 5000 lumens of brightness, allowing presenters and participants to deliver their presentations in comfortably lit medium-sized conference rooms for effective collaboration, note-taking, and interaction.

Laser-Powered High Dynamic Contrast

Thanks to its laser light source, the LU951ST provides up to a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for deep blacks, vivid colors, and fine detail. It also features spontaneous response, requiring virtually no wait time to turn it on or resume from screen blanking.

HDMI Output for Stacked and Multi-Screen Projection

For exhibition spaces, public venues, and large meeting rooms, multiple projected screens can offer enhanced viewing experiences for the audience. Two projectors can also be stacked to double the brightness of a single image. With the HDMI output, a digital signal is sent to other projectors or displays with virtually no signal degradation.

DICOM Simulation Mode

The LU951ST offers a DICOM Simulation Mode that allows the projector to simulate the results of devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standardized display function, for display of grayscale images. The DICOM Simulation Mode, which supports both Blue and Clear Base, adjusts the gradation between the minimum and the maximum luminance, so gradation is distributed optimally. This feature is optimized for displaying medical images such as X-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs, which makes the LU951ST useful for non-diagnostic purposes such as lectures, academic meetings, and hospital conferences. This feature is recommended for use in medical schools for training and educational use only.

Installation Flexibility

Short-Throw Design for Unobstructed Viewing

Producing large images in tight spaces with a 0.81 to 0.88:1 short throw ratio, the LU951ST minimizes the chances of distracting shadows and glare, enabling viewers to move freely in front of the screen.

360° Rotation Projection

The LU951ST can be tilted vertically at any angle, allowing projection onto ceilings, walls, floors, or angled signage to fulfill nearly any projection demand.

Zoom and Lens Shift

The horizontal and vertical lens shift options, as well as 1.1x zoom, help you align images in nearly any challenging venue, such as when lights or vents are located in the mounting area. Lens shift enables you to move the image up or down by 60% of the screen height or left or right by 23% of the screen width, while the zoom offers a wider range of throw distances for installation flexibility in various scenarios.

Digital Image Shrinking and Shift

This feature lets installers shrink the image to 75% of its original size in 0.5% increments via the OSD menu. The image can also be shifted, so installers don't have to reinstall or adjust the projector physically in case the image isn't precisely aligned in the desired frame and space.

Image Memory

The Image Memory function helps installers save up to five sets of image settings that can be individually recalled, reducing installation time or eliminating the need for re-installation or adjustment when the projector is in the same environment with different image source formats or aspect ratios.

Remote Control Projector ID Setting for Independent Control

Installers and IT managers can assign a specific remote control ID to each projector, avoiding signal interference and unintentional changes when installing multiple projectors in a venue.

Grip Bottom Surface Design

The LU951ST is designed with grips on its bottom surface to help safely transport the projector during installation or moving from one venue to another.

Center-of-Gravity Mark on Case Bottom

The bottom of the projector has a mark indicating its center of gravity to help make installation easier.

Wired Remote Control Option

The wired remote control option allows installers and IT managers extra setup convenience and ease of operation for enhanced dependability.

Engineered for Enhanced Reliability

IP5X DustGuard Pro for Dustproofing

The LU951ST is designed with sealed laser modules and enclosed light engines to help protect the DMD chip, color wheel sensor, laser bank, and other optical components, helping to eliminate color wheel sensor failure, visible spots on the image, and color decay for reduced service costs and downtime.

Anti-Dust-Accumulation Sensor Helps Resist Dust Buildup

The color wheel features a sensor with an anti-dust-buildup feature, helping to prolong optimal performance by repelling dust that can accumulate on the sensor and block the IR signal, which can cause flickering, abnormal colors, or shutdown.

Designed for up to 20,000 Hours of Performance

The laser light source can last up to 20,000 hours, resisting color decay over time, making the LU951ST well suited for presentation or exhibition applications.

High Altitude Mode for Elevated Environments

Equipped with an integrated air pressure sensor, the LU951ST's High Altitude Mode automatically alerts you to enable efficient cooling and properly maintain operating temperatures in high-altitude environments with thinner atmospheres.

Engineered for Low Maintenance Costs

Laser Light Source Provides Value over Time

With the laser light source lasting up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, the costs associated with lamp replacement and maintenance are virtually eliminated. Based on the average brightness cutoff of typical lamps, the laser light source can exceed 10 lamp replacements over the lifetime of the laser.

Integrated Network Control and Management System Compatibility

Designed for Comprehensive Control System Compatibility

The LU951ST is compatible with a number of projector control systems, including Extron, Crestron, AMX, and PJ-Link for network control via LAN, making it simple to integrate into corporate network infrastructures. When there is no LAN infrastructure, the LU951ST also supports RS-232 for reliable long-distance installations up to 49'.

Centralized Control with BenQ MDA Software

BenQ Multiple Display Administrator (MDA) software provides centralized multiple-projector management, including automated opening and closing procedures for public spaces, remotely controlled power on and off, and scheduling for institutions and corporations.

HDBaseT Compatibility

HDBaseT connectivity combines video, audio, and device control signals from multiple sources including computers, laptops, document cameras, and Blu-ray players onto a single CAT5 cable, helping to ensure seamless transmissions up to 328'.
