BenQ MW826STH 3500-Lumen WXGA Short-Throw Classroom DLP Projector

The BenQ MW826STH is a projector with a short-throw lens that is built for classrooms and training spaces. It uses DLP technology to deliver 3500 lumens of brightness, so text, graphics, and video stay crisp even when the lights are on. A native resolution of 1280 x 800 and a 20,000 to 1 contrast ratio help preserve fine detail and easy-to-read lettering.

Thanks to the short-throw design, you can place the MW826STH less than five feet from the screen and still fill a 120-inch diagonal. Teachers and presenters no longer need to worry about casting shadows or being blinded by the lamp while writing on the board.

Setup is straightforward. Two HDMI ports, VGA, composite video, and a USB port handle laptops, document cameras, and media players. A built-in 10 watt speaker covers everyday audio, and the projector works with BenQ PointWrite interactive kits when you want touch or pen-based collaboration directly on the projection surface.

Maintenance is minimal. In Eco mode the lamp can last up to 15,000 hours, which means several years of typical classroom use before a replacement is needed. An anti-dust sensor protects the internal optics, helping the image stay sharp over time. For schools or businesses that rely on central management, the MW826STH supports Crestron, AMX, and PJ Link control protocols, so IT staff can monitor and adjust settings from the network.

Whether you are explaining math problems, screening educational videos, or hosting a staff meeting, this projector delivers a large, bright picture in spaces where you cannot darken the room completely. Its short-throw flexibility also makes it a smart choice for small training rooms and portable carts that need a reliable display without complicated installation.
