Verdict

The BenQ LW600ST+ is a professional short-throw DLP projector featuring a 4LED light source with 3,200 ANSI lumens, a native WXGA resolution (1280x800), and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio. Its short-throw lens (0.72–0.87 ratio) and 1.2x zoom make it ideal for golf simulators and small spaces, as it can project large images from a short distance to prevent shadows. Key pros include a long light source life of up to 30,000 hours in Eco mode, 94% Rec.709 colour accuracy, and flexible installation tools like 2D keystone and Corner Fit. However, potential cons include its lower native resolution compared to 1080p models, the presence of rainbow artifacts typical of single-chip DLP projectors, and a noticeable green bias when using its brightest picture mode.
