BenQ’s New 4LED LW600ST Provides Cost-Effective Upgrade Path to Lamp- and Filter-Free Projection

BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, is introducing a major paradigm shift in projection technology with the new lamp-free, filter-free LW600ST. The short-throw WXGA projector boasts 4LED technology to produce a bright, 2,800-ANSI lumen picture with 95% Rec. 709 color coverage for accurate projection and a high 20,000:1 native contrast for sharp images. In addition to eliminating lamps, the LW600ST features 15% less power consumption and a chassis made from recycled plastic — helping schools, businesses, and other organizations cut down on waste, curb energy use, and achieve sustainable best practices.

“The LW600ST is the clear upgrade path from lamp-based projection,” said Bob Wudeck, senior director of business development at BenQ. “The reality is that lamp-based business projectors can be problematic and expensive. Not only are fewer lamp projector models left, but lamps can cost half the price of the projector, their brightness diminishes from the first moment of use, and they are filled with mercury, which can require special handling and disposal. The maintenance-free, eco-friendly LW600ST fills the gap in the market using high-quality 4LED technology at a price point that can’t be beat.”

When it comes to education, Monash University is focused on addressing today’s challenges for a better tomorrow—for students, local communities and global populations. Named one of the top 50 universities worldwide, Monash is continually striving to offer the most comprehensive learning regimen possible, one that puts student and professor connectivity above all else. So, when the world started shifting from analogue VGA video to HDMI digital, and their students required higher quality output from its AV systems, Monash called on Audio Visual Design Manager and Lead Architect Peter MacLean to overhaul the university’s sound setup.

Over the past decade, MacLean has worked with Monash University to define what a new AV system needed to do to improve the learning experience. Some of these requirements included natural, smooth and rich sound with high speech intelligibility, as well as reliable, consistent and easy-to install solutions. From there, MacLean designed a new set of standards for the audio-visual team to follow when implementing new systems—standards that continually get updated as technology improves and academic needs change. Based on these requirements, as well as exhaustive listening tests of various loudspeaker options, the team landed on multiple solutions from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW®).
