ViewSonic LS951WU Projector, 1920 x 1200 WUXGA, 8000 Lumen

ViewSonic LS951WU – Short-throw laser projector with high brightness for professional large-screen applications

The ViewSonic LS951WU projector is a powerful short-throw laser projector from the Luminous Superior Series, which has been specially developed for professional applications in large rooms. With a light output of 8,000 ANSI lumens, native WUXGA resolution and a short-throw lens, it delivers brilliant image quality even in brightly lit environments. Flexible installation, combined with long-lasting laser technology and extensive control options, makes it the ideal solution for museums, auditoriums, trade shows, training centres and creative environments.

The technical highlights at a glance:

• Resolution: WUXGA (1920 x 1200)
• Brightness: 8,000 ANSI lumens
• Contrast ratio: High, thanks to 0.67" DMD chip and DLP technology
• Projection size: Up to 300 inches
• Short throw ratio: 0.75–0.95 (100" image at only 1.6 m distance)
• Zoom & focus: 1.26x optical, motorised
• Lens shift: Horizontal ±25%, vertical ±55%, motorised
• Keystone correction: Horizontal/vertical, 4-corner adjustment
• Projection: 360° rotatable, portrait mode (90°)

Powerful image projection for large rooms

With a light output of 8,000 ANSI lumens , the LS951WU offers exceptionally bright and high-contrast images – ideal for use in light-filled rooms and for large-scale projections up to 300 inches. The WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) enables detailed images that are particularly effective in presentations, demonstrations or information displays. DLP technology combined with the 0.67-inch DMD chip produces razor-sharp images with deep blacks and vivid colours.

A special Sports Mode (formerly Golf Mode) optimises blue and green tones for a particularly realistic appearance, making the LS951WU the ideal solution for indoor golf facilities or themed exhibitions.

Short-throw technology for shadow-free image display

The short-throw optics with a projection ratio of 0.75 to 0.95 enable a 100-inch image to be displayed from a distance of only 1.6 metres. This feature significantly reduces shadow casting and glare, which is crucial for interactive presentations or in confined spaces. The integrated edge blending function automatically adjusts the brightness in overlapping image areas, enabling seamless multiple projection. This creates immersive visualisations while reducing calibration effort and costs.

Flexible installation for professional applications

Thanks to the motorised 1.26x zoom, motorised focus and large lens-shift range (H: ±25%, V: ±55%), the LS951WU can be installed precisely and conveniently – even when ceiling-mounted or in difficult room layouts. Horizontal and vertical keystone correction and 4-corner adjustment enable precise image geometry regardless of the installation angle. The 360° rotation capability and portrait mode open up additional creative possibilities, such as projections onto floors, ceilings or walls.

The integrated HDBaseT interface allows loss-free transmission of high-resolution AV signals over distances of up to 100 metres with just one network cable. This saves costs and significantly reduces installation effort.

Intelligent control and low-maintenance laser technology

With its central LAN control, the LS951WU can be seamlessly integrated into existing networks and control systems. Compatibility with Crestron, AMX, PJ Link, ATEN and Extron makes it ideal for professional AV environments with centralised management. Additional control options are available via RS232 (DB-9), RJ45 (LAN) and IR (3.5 mm).

Inside, the second generation of laser phosphor technology is at work, which is not only mercury-free and ready for immediate use, but also offers approximately 20% increased brightness, a more compact design and better heat resistance. The sealed optical unit is dust-resistant and filterless, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring long-term operational reliability with consistent colour brilliance and image quality.

Conclusion: The ViewSonic LS951WU combines maximum light output, advanced short-throw technology and flexible installation options in a durable and low-maintenance projector. Whether in conference rooms, museums, event halls or interactive installations, this projector is designed to meet professional requirements and delivers an outstanding visual experience in any environment.
