Overview
The Christie LWU530 projector offers up to 5,000 lumens of brightness and uses a long-lasting laser light engine, making it a great option for anyone needing a mid-brightness projector for business use. It’s part of Christie’s APS Series, which is designed to deliver solid performance for conference rooms, boardrooms, and classrooms—all at a reasonable price.
It has a native WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) but can handle 4K@30P content. Christie rates its dynamic contrast at 3,000,000:1. While its black levels and native contrast don’t quite match those of similarly priced home theater projectors, the high brightness still gives it good black performance in rooms with some ambient light.
Christie LWU530 produces images with rich colors
