BenQ announced the new BenQ LH650 4,000-lumen 1080p laser projector designed for classrooms. The LH650 is native WXGA and includes 90% Rec. 709 coverage for color accuracy, HDR10 for video and is priced at just $977. Rec. 709 is the trusted color space standard in cinematic and professional creative industries. Rec. 709 color space depicts a much more full, vibrant color range so that content shown is as close to the original as possible. Rec. 709 traditionally has been a feature only found in high-end home theater projectors due to costs. Now, BenQ has brought it to the classroom.

In order to help schools reduce projector power usage, the BenQ LH650 features SmartEco 2.0. BenQ’s SmartEco 2.0 technology uses an image processing algorithm to adjust the color light level for each frame while providing up to 60% in electricity savings. The LH650’s other power-saving features include auto power on and off as well as an auto blank screen for a much more friendly user experience.

The new LH650 projector is available exclusively to educational institutions via BenQ’s new “Teach Your Way” program. Teach Your Way offers schools planning, pricing, and customer support benefits for BenQ’s latest lineup of projection solutions, including BenQ maintenance-free LED and laser projectors.
