LG BF50RG – WUXGA 1920x1200 5000 Lumens Laser Projector Throw Ratio: 1.30-2.08

Product Overview

The LG ProBeam BF50RG is a WUXGA (1920x1200) laser projector delivering 5,000 lumens of brightness with a 1.3:1 throw ratio, designed for commercial AV installations requiring large-format projection in challenging lighting conditions. With a laser light source rated at up to 20,000 hours and the ability to produce images up to 300 inches, this projector is suited for conference rooms, auditoriums, event spaces, and higher education venues where brightness, resolution, and long-term reliability are critical. The 1.3:1 throw ratio provides flexibility for medium-throw installations where lens-to-screen distance is constrained.

Product Description

The BF50RG uses a laser light source rather than a traditional lamp, which fundamentally changes the operational economics of the installation. With up to 20,000 hours of rated life, laser eliminates the recurring cost and downtime associated with lamp replacements in high-usage commercial environments. The light source also maintains more consistent brightness over time compared to lamp-based projectors, which typically dim significantly as the lamp ages.

At 5,000 lumens, the BF50RG delivers sufficient brightness to produce a clear, visible image even in rooms with significant ambient light — a common requirement in corporate conference rooms, classrooms, and event venues that cannot or do not fully control lighting. The WUXGA resolution of 1920x1200 provides a native 16:10 aspect ratio that matches the native output of most laptops and presentation computers, reducing the need for letterboxing or aspect ratio adjustments during presentations. The 1.3:1 throw ratio enables the projector to fill a large screen from a relatively short throw distance, and image sizes of over 300 inches are achievable for large venue applications. With 2.3 million pixels, the image carries clear, readable text and detailed graphics appropriate for data-heavy business presentations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a laser light source over a traditional lamp projector?

Laser light sources last up to 20,000 hours compared to 2,000–5,000 hours for lamp-based projectors, eliminating frequent and costly lamp replacements. Laser also maintains more consistent brightness throughout its operational life, whereas lamp-based projectors dim progressively as the lamp ages.

Is 5,000 lumens sufficient for a conference room with existing lighting?

5,000 lumens is generally sufficient for medium to large conference rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums with moderate ambient lighting. For spaces with very high ambient light or extremely large screens, assess the screen gain and light conditions with your AV integrator.

What screen size does a 1.3:1 throw ratio produce at a given distance?

A 1.3:1 throw ratio means that for every 1.3 feet of throw distance, the projector produces approximately 1 foot of image width. For example, a 10-foot throw distance produces roughly a 7.7-foot wide image. Consult an LG throw distance calculator for precise values based on your specific room dimensions.

Is WUXGA compatible with standard laptop and PC outputs?

Yes. WUXGA (1920x1200) matches the native display resolution of many laptops and presentation computers with 16:10 displays, eliminating letterboxing common with 16:9 projectors when displaying 16:10 source content.

What inputs does the BF50RG support?

For specific input connectivity details including HDMI, HDBaseT, or other connections, contact Creation Networks or refer to the LG BF50RG product documentation, as input configurations may vary.

What warranty is provided on the LG ProBeam BF50RG?

LG commercial projectors carry LG's commercial warranty program. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and available service plans for the BF50RG laser projector.
