Better for ProBeam BU53RG
- Showroom
Lens shift + 5,000 lumens lets a professional installer place the projector off-center and still align the image without keystone, for about $1,100 less than the LK936ST (which has slightly more shift range).
- Performance Seeker
Brightness and lens-shift alignment preserve full 4K detail (no keystone) for serious data review.
