AI-generated summary
The BenQ LH600ST+ is a solid short‑throw option if you specifically need a projector that’ll throw a big image from very close to the screen—without the usual bulky throw-distance headaches. In day-to-day commercial use, the big question is always brightness versus placement, and this model is aimed at rooms that can’t be fully controlled (training rooms, meeting spaces, classrooms, showrooms). It’s also a DLP unit, so you tend to get crisp, punchy images and good perceived contrast for presentations and general business graphics.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it’s “bright.” Short‑throw projectors often become the wrong fit if you don’t have the mounting height and screen position dialled in—alignment and keystone can be managed, but you’ll waste time if the room isn’t set up for it. Also, £1040 ex‑VAT isn’t cheap for a “basic” projector, so it needs to justify itself in a repeatable use case: frequent meetings, training sessions, or any environment where you genuinely can’t increase throw distance. If your installation is flexible (you can mount further back), there are usually better value options than paying for short‑throw convenience. If your room layout is tight and you need a reliable, installation-friendly business projector, then it’s a sensible pick.
