  • BenQ LU935ST Digital Projector - icon To optimize your projection quality, we suggest you do the projection within non-gray area.
  • All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector’s optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.
Mounting the projector
If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.
If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall down due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
Before mounting the projector

  • Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector.
  • BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the mounting bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.
  • Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.
  • Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake.
  • The warranty doesn’t cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.
  • Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.
  • Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off.
  • Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

Light source information
Getting to know the light source hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light source usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent light source hour is as follows:
Light source Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in ECO mode) + (hours used in Dimming mode) + (hours used in Custom mode)
Total (equivalent) light source hour = 1.0 x (hours used in Normal mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in ECO mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Dimming mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Custom mode)
To obtain the light source hour information:

  1. Go to Advanced Menu – Settings > Light Settings and press OK. The Light Settings page appears.
  2. Press to select Light Usage Time and press OK. The Light Usage Time information is displayed.

    Light Source mode Description
    Normal Provides full light source brightness
    ECO Lowers brightness to extend the light source life and decreases the fan noise
    Dimming Lowers brightness to offer a longer light source life
    Custom Enables the light source brightness adjustment bar so that you can adjust the setting to your liking
  • Setting Auto Power Off
    This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of light source life. To s e t Auto Power Off, go to Advanced Menu – Settings > Operation Settings > Power
    On/Off Settings > Auto Power Off and press / .
  • The apparent brightness of the projected image will vary depending on the ambient lighting conditions, selected input signal contrast/brightness settings, and is directly proportional to projection distance.
