BenQ LH850ST Short throw projector 4000 ANSI lumens DLP 1080p (1920x1080) 3D Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

BenQ’s LH850ST is the kind of short-throw DLP you buy when you’re trying to get a big, bright image into a room where you *can’t* place a projector far away. With that class of brightness and the ST setup, it suits boardrooms, training suites and churches/venues that need a clear picture under normal ambient light—especially if ceiling mounts and “no one can cast shadows” matter. In day-to-day use, the DLP look is typically crisp and punchy for text and slides, and it’s the sort of projector that won’t make you baby it like a home cinema model.

That said, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you truly need short throw. At ~£2084 ex‑VAT, it’s priced like a serious commercial tool, not a flexible “just buy it and see” option. If you’ve got decent throw distance, a standard-throw projector often gives you better value for money. Also consider installation complexity: getting short-throw geometry right (and maintaining it over time) is where people get frustrated, not with the spec sheet. Bottom line: buy it if your room layout forces short throw and you need bright, reliable business visuals; skip it if you can mount farther back and want to stretch budget further.
