Frequently Asked Questions - LH930 BENQ

How do I clean the air filter?
Turn off the projector and unplug it. Locate the filter cover on the side, remove it, and gently vacuum or wash the filter with mild soap. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 100 hours of use.
How do I adjust the keystone correction?
Press the Keystone button on the remote or navigate to Picture Settings > 2D Keystone. Use the arrow keys to adjust vertical and horizontal tilt. The range is ±30 degrees.
What is the expected lifespan of the laser light source?
The laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours in normal mode. This means about 10 years of typical use (5 hours/day). The brightness will gradually decrease over time.
Why is the projected image not clear?
First, adjust the focus ring on the lens. Then, ensure the projector is the correct distance from the screen. If using zoom, adjust it to the optimal range. Also, clean the lens with a soft cloth. If still blurry, check the resolution input.
How can I connect the projector to Wi-Fi?
This projector does not have built-in Wi-Fi. Use an external USB Wi-Fi adapter (sold separately) or connect via Ethernet cable for network features. For screen mirroring, use a wireless HDMI kit.
How do I replace the laser module?
The laser module is a sealed unit and should only be replaced by a qualified technician. Contact BenQ support or an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the laser housing yourself.
What should I do if the projector does not turn on?
Check the power cord connection and ensure the outlet is working. Verify that the power button is pressed firmly. If the LED on the projector does not light up, try a different power cable. If still no power, the internal power supply may be faulty.
How do I reset the projector to factory settings?
Go to System Setup > Reset All Settings. Confirm with Yes. The projector will restart with default settings. Note: This does not erase the lamp hour counter.
How do I adjust the focus and zoom?
Use the Zoom ring on the lens to adjust image size. Then use the Focus ring to sharpen the image. For best results, project at the recommended distance range (listed in the user manual).
How do I use the remote control for presentation controls?
The remote has buttons for Blank (freeze screen), Mute, Volume, and Source selection. Press Menu for settings. Use the arrow keys to navigate and Enter to confirm. Point the remote directly at the IR receiver.

Important safety instructions

Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow the instructions mentioned in the user manual / installation guide and marked on the product.

I. Please read the user manual / installation guide before you operate your projector. Save it for future reference.

  1. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.

  2. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

  3. Always open the lens shutter (if any) or remove the lens cap (if any) when the projector light source is on.

  4. The light source becomes extremely hot during operation.

  5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

  6. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire. To temporarily turn off the light source, use the blank function.

  7. Do not operate light sources beyond the rated light source life.

  8. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.

  9. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts.

  1. Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
  2. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
  3. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
  4. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's power outlet and call BenQ to have the projector serviced.
  5. This apparatus must be earthed.
  6. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.

  7. Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free flow of air around the projector.

  8. Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
  9. Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shorten the projector's life span and darken the image.
  10. Locations near fire alarms
  11. Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F
  12. Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).

  13. To avoid damaging the DLP chips, do not direct a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens.

BENQ LH930 - Projection dimensions - 2

  • To optimize your projection quality, we suggest you do the projection within non-gray area.
  • All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

  • To optimize your projection quality, we suggest you do the projection within non-gray area.
  • All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Mounting the projector

If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall down due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

Before mounting the projector

  • Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector.
  • BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the anti-theft lock slot on the projector and the base of the mounting bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.
  • Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.
    • Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake.
  • The warranty doesn't cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.

  • Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.

  • Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off.
  • Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

BrightnessThe higher the value, the brighter the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.
ContrastThe higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.
ColorLower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.
TintThe higher the value, the more greenish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the picture becomes.
SharpnessThe higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes.
Brilliant ColorThis feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality, select On.When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.
Advanced Color SettingsColor TemperatureThere are several preset color temperature settings available. The available settings may vary according to the signal type selected.Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.Cool: Makes images appear bluish white.Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.

Light source information

Getting to know the light source hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light source usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent light source hour is as follows:

Light source Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) + (hours used in Dimming mode) + (hours used in Custom mode)

Total (equivalent) light source hour = 1.0 x (hours used in Normal mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Economic mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Dimming mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Custom mode)

To obtain the light source hour information:

I. Go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Light Settings and press OK. The Light Settings page appears.
