What They Say
LG has stared to ship the BU50NST a 5000 ANSI Lumen LP UltraHD single 0.47″ chip DLP projector that was originally announced in June. It has a zoom (1.6X) lens and can support images from 40″ (1m) to 300″ (7.6m) diagonal with a throw distance of 1.32:1 to 2.11:1. . It has support for connections to Android devices. There are dual 5W speakers and the unit supports DICOM and HDR.
It costs $4,499 in the US.
What We Think
I missed this projector when it was announced in June. Given that LG wants to develop its B2B business and already has a significant digital signage business and consumer projectors, it’s not surprising that it should have a professional projector. However, it’s a tough market with limited potential for growth. It surprises me that Samsung also has started in the projection business. (BR)
