Product Description
Bring powerful, large-scale projection into compact spaces with the BenQ LH860ST 5,000-Lumen Full HD Short-Throw Laser Projector. Designed for professional installations, golf simulators, simulation environments, and immersive entertainment, the LH860ST combines Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, 5,000 ANSI lumens, 93% Rec.709 color coverage, and a 0.5:1 short-throw ratio to deliver bright, detailed images from an exceptionally short distance.
The LH860ST's 0.5:1 short-throw lens allows it to create a large image without requiring the projector to be positioned far from the screen. This makes it particularly useful for golf simulator bays, garages, basements, and entertainment rooms where available depth is limited. The short-throw design also allows the projector to be positioned closer to the impact screen, helping reduce shadows and keeping valuable space around the golfer available for the swing.
With 5,000 ANSI lumens, the LH860ST is designed to maintain a bright and highly visible image even when ambient light is present. Its 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 93% Rec.709 color coverage provide strong image depth, accurate color reproduction, and vivid course visuals across large impact screens.
BenQ's Screen Fill technology provides additional flexibility by supporting multiple aspect ratios, including 1:1, 5:4, 4:3, 16:10, 16:9, and 21:9. This allows the projector to adapt to a wide variety of simulator screens, displays, and installation configurations while maintaining the appropriate image format.
The LH860ST is also designed for professional multi-projector environments. One-click blending presets simplify multi-projector installations, while digital image shrink and shift functions provide additional control over image positioning. LAN connectivity and firmware updates allow multiple units to be managed more efficiently in commercial environments.
The projector's IP6X-sealed optical engine helps protect internal components from dust and reduces the need for regular filter maintenance. Its laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours, eliminating traditional lamp replacement and helping lower long-term operating costs.
For additional connectivity flexibility, the LH860ST can support wireless projection through an optional BenQ wireless dongle. This provides a convenient way to transmit compatible content without requiring additional video cables.
Whether you're building a premium golf simulator, installing a commercial entertainment system, or creating a professional simulation environment, the BenQ LH860ST delivers the combination of high brightness, ultra-short-throw projection, accurate color, and professional installation flexibility required for demanding applications.
