BenQ LX60ST Pro Reviews

The BenQ LX60ST business projector delivers relatively low brightness with a 2,000 lumen rating, but its laser light source allows eco-friendly features and a potentially low total cost of ownership.

The BenQ LX60ST's low brightness compared with most of its competition, means that to get any given image brightness, you'll need to stay with a slightly smaller image. The tradeoff is that it offers some significant eco-friendly advantages, most notably the mercury-free light source, with its 10,000 to 20,000 hour lifetime and the Manual mode, which lets you use only as much power as you need. And thanks to the three-year warranty applying to the BlueCore engine you're not taking much of a risk on the new technology of the laser-based light source. Just as important is that the projector scores well on the key points you need to consider with any data projector. It delivers excellent data image quality, lots of connection options, reasonably good audio quality, and suitable brightness for a small to medium size conference room or classroom. And whatever its shortcomings for video, it can handle video better than many data projectors. Whether you're particularly attracted by the eco-friendly features or consider them incidental, there's a lot here to like, and more than enough to make the LX60ST a serious contender.
