Compare BenQ Projectors by Screen Fit and Installation
Choose between different BenQ families
AH and LH Full HD models, LK and AK 4K options, and LU WUXGA models serve different installations. Compare the AH500ST and AH700ST with the AK700ST, LK830ST and other listed models using resolution, brightness and throw distance. Screen-fit automation and image adjustment features vary by model; they are not shared across the whole range.
Check the physical installation first
Measure the intended image width and the available lens position. Then check whether the selected unit uses a fixed lens or an adjustable zoom range. Leave room for the projector body, ventilation and cables, and confirm how the image aligns vertically with your enclosure. Select the mount only after you have checked these dimensions.
| Model | Listed optical format | Decision to make |
|---|---|---|
| AH500ST | 1080p; 0.499:1 throw ratio | Choose when its close, fixed lens position works; Screen Fill is a selectable setting. |
| LH860ST | 1080p; 0.5:1 throw ratio | Compare its 5,000 ANSI-lumen rating with the light output needed at your screen size. |
| AH700ST | 1080p; 0.69–0.83:1 throw range | Choose a farther lens position with optical zoom and automatic screen fitting. |
| AK700ST | 4K; 0.69–0.83:1 throw range | Check that your PC and software plan can use the resolution upgrade. |
| LK830ST | 4K; approximately 0.5:1 throw ratio | Shortlist for close lens placement; measure offset as well as distance. |
| LK936ST | 4K; 0.81–0.89:1 throw range | Consider its optical lens shift when the mount must sit away from the ideal image center. |
The table summarizes listed specifications. It does not establish a universal winner: projector position, screen shape and the source computer remain part of the choice.
