Meeting-room projector with LED light source

The BenQ LW550 is a WXGA business projector built around an LED light engine that delivers 3000 lumens and a 20000:1 contrast ratio. Its native 1280 x 800 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio suit presentation decks and spreadsheet detail in lit rooms. The unit covers 95% of the Rec. 709 gamut for accurate colour reproduction.

White cabinet with dual HDMI and 2D keystone

A retractable foot and 2D keystone correction with auto vertical adjustment handle off-centre placement on tables or ceiling mounts. Two HDMI 1.4a ports with HDCP 1.4 support laptops, streaming sticks or document cameras without cable swapping. A USB Type-A port supplies 1.5 A for peripheral power, while an RS232 port enables integration with control systems. Built-in 10 W audio covers small spaces.

Check throw distance and content sources

The 1.55-1.7 throw ratio determines how far back the projector must sit for a given image width; measure your room before ordering. Verify that your primary sources output over HDMI 1.4a or can adapt to it, as no DisplayPort, VGA or wireless video inputs are present. The LED light source is rated for 20000 hours in normal mode and 30000 hours in Eco mode, so factor replacement timing into long-term plans.

Questions about this item

What HDMI version do the two ports support, and what copy-protection standard caps the video stream?

Both HDMI ports are version 1.4a and implement HDCP 1.4, so protected content is limited to that specification.

What mounting options and throw distance range does the unit require for a 16:10 image?

The projector supports table-top or ceiling mounting and has a throw ratio of 1.55–1.7, meaning the lens-to-screen distance is roughly 1.55 to 1.7 times the image width.

How is the projector aligned during setup, and which keystone step is often missed?

Use the retractable foot for rough height, then enable 2D keystone; the horizontal ±30° correction must be set manually because only vertical keystone is automatic.
