ProBeam 4K UHD Short Throw

LG Business Solutions USA unveiled the LG ProBeam BU53PST, a new 4K UHD short throw laser projector that delivers incredible picture quality for smaller spaces where a large, bright display solution is desired. With 5000 ANSI lumens brightness and an over 25 percent shorter throw ratio than LG’s other ProBeam projectors, the versatile LG ProBeam BU53PST has the ability to project bright, high-resolution images in a wide variety of environments.  

“Professional integrators can confidently recommend the ProBeam BU53PST to both new and existing clients for various installations,” Dan Smith, vice president of business development at LG Business Solutions USA, said at InfoComm 2022, where the projector was introduced. “This new projector has a short throw distance, reliable mercury-free laser lamp, 5,000 lumens brightness as well as a host of other included features. These attributes make this short-throw projector ideal for commercial signage or even home golf simulators.”

ProBeam BU53PST offers full 4K UHD resolution of 3,840 x 2160 pixels, a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and HDR10 processing compatibility, so all of the latest 4K game and video content is presented in its full glory. The advanced 12-point edge adjustment provides broad latitude to correct the projected image for a wide variety of screen surfaces or installations.

The ability to create large projections in a small-footprint area makes it perfect for business use, either to provide a large video screen in a small meeting room or to fill public spaces with crisp, bright images on surfaces up to 300 inches diagonally. Dual 5-watt speakers provide powerful built-in audio which allows the projector to serve as an all-in-one solution. With 20,000 hours of estimated life,* the ProBeam BU53PST’s laser light source is expected to be able to operate eight hours a day for almost seven years with virtually no maintenance.

The ProBeam BU53PST is also an ideal display solution for golf simulator systems, because it can create high-resolution, bright images in a minimal physical footprint while maximising screen size. With the ability to display fine details down to a blade of grass, the ProBeam BU53PST can give users an immersive virtual golfing experience whether they are playing at home or at a local entertainment venue.

Additionally, the ProBeam BU53PST supports HDMI ARC and HDMI Simplink which make it simple to pair the projector with an external sound bar to provide an even greater immersive experience and even enable an easy transition from golf simulator to home theatre solution.

“Whether it’s being used as part of a business solution or for a golf simulator at a home, the ProBeam BU53PST delivers stellar visuals for space-constrained projects that demand exceptional performance and capabilities to reliably present any type of content,” Smith added.
