Laser DLP Projectors are cool. Also great for the classroom

Sci-Fi Happens and Lasers Go to School

The idea of having a laser as a projector light source instead of a lamp still seems sort of sci-fi to me. Rather like something you expect to find in some advanced research lab or or the rebel alliance in a galaxy far, far away. I am still waiting on my light saber, but I don't have to wait anymore for a laser powered projector.  Better still, you can get one too, right here on earth.  They are bright, affordable and very effecient.  There are lots of great uses for a laser based data projector - especially the classroom.

Projector for Classroom or Conference Room

I am specifically thinking of the BenQ LX60ST.   The LX60ST is the first to ship with the BenQ  BlueCore light engine.  The BlueCore light engine uses a laser diode instead of the conventional lamp.  Lamp is projector speak for light bulb.  An XGA resolution, DLP projector, it sports around 2000 lumens output from a mercury free, long life laser source. Bright. Crisp. High Contrast. Short Throw ratio. All the image quality elements you need.  It has quick power on and a power savings mode.  These items are part of the standard features that come with all of BenQ's SmartEco projectors.

NCIX Tech Tips, a long running tech blog, has a very informative video on the LX60ST DLP Laser Projector. They also demonstrate the BenQ wireless USB adapter so you can connect the projector with a wireless data source - such as your phone.
