Description
The BenQ LW550 is a WXGA LED meeting room projector aimed at businesses that want colour-accurate presentations without lamp replacements. Its LED light source is rated for up to 30,000 hours in Eco mode, effectively maintenance-free across the projector's working life, while still delivering 3,000 ANSI lumens of brightness. 95% Rec.709 colour gamut coverage and an all-glass lens array give charts, photos and video content accurate, saturated colour reproduction, and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio keeps detail visible in both bright and dark areas of the image. BenQ's next-generation SmartEco technology further reduces energy consumption versus traditional Eco mode. Dual HDMI inputs, auto 2D keystone correction and optional QCast Mirror wireless connectivity make the LW550 straightforward to install and use across different meeting rooms, with 3D content support for training and technical presentations.
