The LU895UST offers image-perfecting tools like 2D Keysone correction, and is marketed as “blending ready”. Ports on the device include two HDMI (2.0b/HDCP2.2), RJ45 and USB-A, and there is also a 10W integrated speaker. This is a relatively compact model, measuring 327 x328.3 x 131.6 mm (12.87 x 12.93 x 5.18 inches). In Europe, the BenQ LU895UST WUXGA Short Throw Simulation Projector will retail for €3,999.
