Overview
The BenQ LU960 is a high-performance laser projector developed specifically for the requirements of professional meeting rooms and demanding installation environments.

Benefits and special features
- Low-maintenance laser light module with a service life of up to 70,000 hours in dimming mode.

- Supports 360° projection and portrait mode for creative digital signage applications.
- Certified 24/7 continuous operation for use in control rooms or public exhibition areas.
- HDBaseT support for lossless transmission of video and control signals over long distances.
- 4K compatibility allows direct processing of high-resolution source material at the HDMI input.
- Dust-protected optical engine extends service life and protects image quality in difficult environments.
Picture and sound quality
DLP technology with a 0.48-inch DC3 DMD chip, combined with the laser light source, delivers a brightness of 5,500 ANSI lumens. The contrast of 3,000,000:1 and coverage of 92 % of the Rec. 709 colour space guarantee precise colour reproduction and deep black levels thanks to the Dynamic Dimming function.
For audio support, a 10-watt speaker is integrated, sufficient for smaller meeting rooms.

| Image size (diagonal) | Image width (approx.) | Throw distance |
|---|---|---|
| 80 inches | 172 cm | min. 1.94 m – max. 2.92 m |
| 100 inches | 215 cm | min. 2.43 m – max. 3.66 m |
| 120 inches | 258 cm | min. 2.91 m – max. 4.38 m |
The calculated throw distances are based on the manufacturer's throw ratio and are intended as guide values. As the measuring points (e.g. from the centre of the lens vs. the front of the housing) often vary between data sheets, calculations accurate to the centimetre cannot always be guaranteed.
Running and follow-up costs
Power consumption is a maximum of 500 watts in standard operation, dropping to 350 watts in ECO mode. In standby, the unit consumes less than 0.5 watts.
| Operating mode | Lifetime | 2 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mode | 20,000 hours | 27.5 years | 7.0 years |
| ECO mode | 38,000 hours | 52.0 years | 13.0 years |
No regular light source replacement required – low maintenance in continuous operation thanks to laser technology (laser class 2).
Conclusion
The BenQ LU960 impresses as a powerful installation solution for companies that value operational reliability and flexibility. Combining high light output, maintenance-free laser operation and extensive interfaces such as HDBaseT, it offers a future-proof platform for conferences and presentations. Wide lens shift and 360° mounting also allow easy integration into existing room concepts.
