Overview
The BenQ LU960UST+ is a powerful ultra short throw projector developed specifically for demanding installations in conference rooms, museums and educational institutions. With its BlueCore laser technology and a brightness of 5,200 ANSI lumens, it delivers precise images even in bright environments. Thanks to the extremely short throw ratio of 0.25:1, large image sizes can be achieved from a minimal distance, effectively preventing shadows cast by presenters.
Benefits and special features
- BlueCore laser technology: maintenance-free operation for up to 30,000 hours in standard mode.
- Ultra short throw lens: produces a 100-inch image from a distance of just approx. 22.8 cm from the front of the housing.
- HDBaseT connectivity: lossless transmission of video, audio and control signals over a single CAT cable.
- Flexible installation: supports 360° projection and portrait mode for creative digital signage solutions.
- Precise adjustment: digital lens shift and Wide Corner Fit for perfect geometric image alignment.
- Dust-protected optical engine: IP5X-certified laser unit protects against image deterioration caused by dust.
- Fast Mode: minimised latency of under 16.67 ms for interactive applications and real-time playback.
Picture and sound quality
Image display is based on DLP technology with a 0.48-inch WUXGA DMD chip (DC3) offering a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. With a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 and coverage of 92 % of the Rec.709 colour gamut, content is reproduced with true colours and high contrast. Special modes such as DICOM simulation mode optimise the display for medical training purposes.
A 10 W speaker is integrated for audio support, sufficient for primary audio output in smaller meeting rooms. External sound systems can be connected via the 3.5 mm jack output or the HDMI output.

Mounting and installation
The projector supports table placement, ceiling mounting and 360° and portrait installations. Thanks to the projection offset of 122 % and digital lens shift (± 5 % vertical at 1080p), the image can be fine-tuned without physically moving the unit.
In the box: Installation guide, safety instructions, remote control (RCA024) incl. 2x AA batteries, power cable.
Security features: the projector has a security bar and a Kensington lock slot for physical theft protection.
Note on distance planning: add 47.3 cm plus around 7–12 cm for plugs and cable exit.
According to the manufacturer, this projector supports image sizes from 150 inches (381 cm) to 200 inches (508 cm).
UST projectors are typically placed directly below the projection surface or wall-mounted above the screen. Many models also support upside-down operation on the ceiling – please refer to the manual for the mounting options of the respective model.
| Image size (diagonal) | Image width (approx.) | Throw distance (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 80 inches | 171 cm | 44 cm |
| 100 inches | 214 cm | 54 cm |
| 120 inches | 256 cm | 64 cm |
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 W in standard mode and drops to 339 W in ECO mode. In network standby, the unit consumes less than 2 W.
| Operating mode | Lifetime | 2 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mode | 30,000 h | 41.0 years | 10.5 years |
| ECO mode | 38,000 h | 52.0 years | 13.0 years |
No regular lamp replacement required – low maintenance in continuous operation. The unit has laser class certification and is designed for 24/7 operation.
Conclusion
The BenQ LU960UST+ offers AV integrators and IT departments a highly flexible solution for projection where space is tight. Combining 5,200 lumens of brightness, a low-maintenance laser source and extensive correction functions, it is a reliable tool for continuous operation. The economic added value comes from the longevity of the light module and reduced installation costs thanks to HDBaseT.
