BenQ’s latest launch, the LK830ST 4K short-throw laser projector, is now available across North America and Europe. This compact unit targets simulation setups, business environments, and immersive visual displays, packing plenty of brightness into a space-saving form.
BenQ LK830ST 4K short-throw projector lands in multiple markets
Originally unveiled in August 2025, the LK830ST is now on sale in several countries. In the US, it’s listed at $2,499 via BenQ’s official store. UK customers can find it for around £2,418 at retailers like Visunext. Meanwhile, buyers in the EU can expect pricing near €2,399, but some outlets, like Golfroom, offer it for as low as €1,999.
This launch comes alongside the LH830ST, another projector aimed at mapping use cases. But the BenQ LK830ST 4K short-throw projector focuses more on laser simulation and business-grade imaging.
Asus adds a GeForce RTX 5080 model to its ProArt P16 lineup, offering 64 GB RAM and 4 TB storage at a lower price than the RTX 5090 version.
Specs that prioritize brightness and detail
The LK830ST delivers native 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 px) and a throw ratio of 0.5:1. That allows it to project up to a 300-inch display from a short distance ideal for tight spaces or ceiling mounts.
Here’s what stands out:
- 4,000 ANSI lumens for strong brightness in lit rooms
- 20,000-hour laser lifespan for long-term reliability
- 93% Rec.709 color coverage
- 3,000,000:1 FOFO contrast ratio
- Multiple color modes, including HDR10, HLG, and sRGB
These specs make it a strong option for simulation rooms, training facilities, or any professional setup demanding sharp visuals and color accuracy.
Setup tools and performance extras
BenQ didn’t stop at picture specs. The LK830ST offers 2D Keystone Correction and Corner Fit adjustments to fine-tune your image. It includes USB and HDMI ports, supports 1080p at 60Hz, and has a 16.7 ms input lag useful for real-time interactions or video playback.
Despite its performance, the unit stays manageable at just 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs). Its 279 x 121 x 229 mm footprint makes it easy to ceiling mount or shift between locations.
BenQ’s projector lineup stays laser-focused
The BenQ LK830ST 4K short-throw projector keeps things efficient: bright enough for daylight use, sharp enough for presentations, and small enough to stay out of the way. It’s not just a business tool, it’s a clean solution for those who need impact without taking up space.
Some projectors shout. This one simply shows up and shines.
