First Impressions
From the outside, the putty colored LG ProBeam BU60PST doesn't look particularly special for a projector that tries to straddle several uses, from private and governmental offices to houses of worship and schools. It's what's inside that counts, and the ProBeam BU60PST takes the lead in delivering more for less by combining 3840x2160 resolution imaging with nearly 6,000 lumens of light for an unbeatable price. By comparison, the Epson Pro 1060UNL projector with its least expensive lens costs $2,500 more.What's more, rather than relying on pixel-doubling technology with a 1080p imager used on the Pro 1060UNL, the BU60PST has a single 0.47-inch Digital Light Processing (DLP) chip that uses Texas Instrument's XPR fast-switching technology to pump out ridiculously sharp images in full UHD resolution. Its output looks great regardless of whether the input stream is HD or 4K.
