Salamander Chicago 245S Cabinet for Integrated LG HU85LA & HU915Q UST Projectors - Black Oak, Black Top - X/LG1/245S/BO/BK

Product Overview

The Salamander Chicago 245S is an 85.5-inch UST projector cabinet for an integrated LG HU85LA or HU915Q ultra short throw projector, finished in grass-texture Black Oak with a black top. The textured finish is the practical commercial choice: it conceals handling marks better than gloss or glass in rooms that see constant use. The projector mounts at a factory-fixed throw offset, so UST alignment is set by the cabinet rather than on site.

Product Description

Room finish selection usually gets treated as an aesthetic decision, but in high-traffic spaces it is a maintenance decision. Grass-texture Black Oak hides fingerprints, scuffs, and cleaning marks that would show plainly on a gloss or glass front, which keeps the cabinet looking specified rather than used across a long service life in training rooms and shared meeting space.

The LG projector is fixed at the correct offset at the factory, turning a UST install into furniture placement rather than optical commissioning — and making every room on a multi-room standard commission identically. Equipment bays alongside the projector compartment carry switching, sources, and control hardware, with cable management routed internally so nothing is visible in the room. Interior access is preserved for equipment service without disturbing the projector.

Technical Specifications

Competitor Comparison

Three products get specified against the same brief and solve it differently. Competitor prices are list figures at time of writing and change.

How to choose: specify the Salamander cabinet when the room is commercial, the projector model is already decided, and the same enclosure has to carry rack equipment. The Vividstorm suits a residential install that wants the screen bundled. The Middle Atlantic C5-FF27 is the right answer when rack density matters more than projection and the finish will be matched to existing millwork. Where the room needs both UST projection and full-depth rack gear, the 237 deep chassis at 34 in is the variant to look at.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which finish is best for a heavily used training room?

Chicago grass-texture Black Oak. Textured finishes conceal fingerprints and contact marks that show plainly on gloss and glass fronts, which matters in rooms used by different groups every day.

What does the S in 245S signify?

It denotes a variant in the Salamander configuration. Dimensions, weight, and LG projector integration are identical to the standard 245. Confirm with our team which is correct for your specification.

Is the projector included?

No. The cabinet is factory-prepared with the cutout and mounting; the projector is purchased separately.

What are the freight requirements?

At 295 lb in a 90-inch carton this ships LTL freight, not parcel. Contact our team for delivery and installation scheduling.
