BenQ Launches 4LED Short-Throw Projector for Immersive Console Gaming in XXL Format

BenQ, one of the world’s leading brands in DLP projectors, introduces the TH690ST 4LED gaming projector with short-throw technology. The new addition to BenQ’s gaming projector series is great for all types of entertainment, whether for console gaming or watching movies and series or for broadcasting live sporting events. Via the 2 HDMI (2.0b) interfaces, the TH690ST can be used with all popular gaming consoles, such as the Sony PS5/PS4, Nintendo Switch or Xbox series and is the perfect partner for fast-paced virtual sports, response-critical FPS and time-sensitive battles. With its 1080P HDR picture quality, low input lag of just 8.33 ms at 120 Hz and brightness of 2300 ANSI lumen, the TH690ST is now available in stores at a suggested retail price of €1,199 including VAT.

With an image diagonal of up to 100 inches from a distance of only 1.5 meters from the projection surface, the TH690ST 4LED short-throw projector is a cost-effective alternative to large-screen TVs. For easy and convenient projection from different positions in the room, the 2D keystone correction eliminates trapezoidal effects and optimizes image alignment. With its 4LED light source, the TH690ST offers compelling image quality with high brightness, clear contrast and balanced saturation. The lifespan of the LED light source is rated at 30,000 hours in ECO mode, which, assuming approximately 4 hours of daily use, equates to approximately 21 years of use without the need for a replacement.

Gaming with colour accuracy
Gamers can enjoy in-game interactions with extra realism and intensity thanks to the TH690ST’s specially designed preset game modes. Optimized game modes for light and dark environments are also available for greater clarity and detail when immersed in the respective game atmosphere.

BenQ’s 4LED gaming projector achieves particularly colour accuracy with 84% DCI-P3 and 98% Rec. 709 colour space coverage. Plus, the TH690ST is 4K HDR compatible, so HDR can be reproduced for both 4K and 1080P.

Convincing sound

Two built-in 5 watt treVolo stereo speakers provide a powerful soundscape by balancing highs, mids and lows and combining them to create a compelling sound experience. Users can quickly switch between Standard, Cinema, Music, Game, Sports and Custom sound modes to achieve the best sound experience to match the content being viewed.
