Powering the BenQ Club Lounge at ISE 2016 will be the following technology innovations:

Offering ultra-brightness, 20,000-hour long-lasting operation, and a lamp-free solution from the breakthrough laser light source, LU9715 and LU9235 laser projectors are uniquely able to project vertically and omni-directionally, and open brand-new opportunities to project in different and novel ways. The revolutionary laser light engine delivers distinctively intense, yet natural colour performance and green eco-friendliness by minimizing lamp replacement, hazardous materials, and energy consumption. A thorough suite of features including broadcast 3G-SDI and HDBaseT connectivity, embedded edge blending / warping, and multiple lens options equip the BenQ laser projectors to be the most advanced projection systems on the market.
