BENQ LU710 Business/Education Projector Review- Summary

BENQ LU710 Business/Education Projector Review – Summary: Highlights, Value Proposition, Pros and Cons

HIGHLIGHTS

The BENQ LU710 is a 4,000 lumen WXUGA (1920 x1200) DLP laser projector with a rated lamp life of 20,000 in Normal mode. BenQ claims that due to its BlueCore laser light engine the LU710 can reproduce over 90% of the BT.709 color gamut which is the standard for HD video.

By dynamically modulating the laser power, the LU710 has acclaimed dynamic contrast ration of 3,000,000:1. The LU710 delivered a clear picture with the accurate color I have come to expect from the BenQ lineup of projectors.

The projector’s feature set is focused on business applications. The LU710 is compatible with a couple of BenQ optional solutions which allow wireless projection of documents, videos and images from a computer or mobile device. It has Auto Keystone Correction to simplify setup.

With its bright laser/phosphor light source that lasts up to 20,000 hours, high contrast ratio, low-maintenance design, and network-management capability, the LU710 would be a good option for many meeting and conference room environments.
