The ViewSonic LSD400HD-ST is a Full HD short throw projector for golf simulators, exhibitions and retail spaces. It suits sites where the projector has to sit close to the screen. It has a lamp-free laser phosphor light source, 4,000 ANSI lumens and a 0.5 throw ratio. It can project a 100 inch image from about 1.1 metres.
Horizontal and vertical keystone correction and four-corner adjustment help set up the picture, and 360° projection suits ceilings, walls and floors. LAN control works with Crestron, AMX, PJ Link, ATEN and Extron systems for sites that manage projectors centrally.
Kickstart Computers has no preferred manufacturer, so if you tell us what you are trying to achieve we can give honest advice and compare ViewSonic with other short throw projectors. Call 0416 353 501.
Compact Laser Light Without the Lamp
The LSD400HD-ST uses a lamp-free laser phosphor light source with instant power on and off. Its rated light source life is 20,000 hours in normal mode and 30,000 hours in Eco mode, without lamp changes. For a venue running the projector for long periods, that keeps the image consistent.
ViewSonic LSD400HD-ST short throw laser projector key features
- 3rd generation laser phosphor technology – a light source life of up to 30,000 hours.
- 0.5 short throw ratio – large images even in limited spaces.
- 4,000 ANSI lumens and 1080p resolution – clear images in a wide range of environments.
- High native contrast – powered by a 0.65 inch DMD chip and DLP technology.
- Installation flexibility – H/V keystone, four-corner adjustment and 360° projection.
- Centralised LAN control – efficient management across projectors.
Who the ViewSonic LSD400HD-ST suits
The ViewSonic LSD400HD-ST suits golf simulator rooms, exhibitions, retail spaces and other venues that need a large Full HD image from a short distance. The 0.5 throw ratio puts a 100 inch image on the screen from about 1.1 metres, and image sizes run from 40 to 300 inches. The laser phosphor light source means there are no lamps to replace. LAN control also suits venues that manage several projectors from one place.
It can be mounted on a ceiling, wall or floor, or rotated into portrait for creative installs. 4,000 ANSI lumens suits rooms where you can control the lighting. For very bright rooms or large lecture-style spaces, a higher-brightness model may suit better, so ask us before ordering. Because the projector is compact, it also suits sites where a flat panel would be too small for the space.
What to check before buying the ViewSonic LSD400HD-ST
- Weight and size: the projector weighs 3.1kg (4.6kg packed) and measures 286x216x129mm with the adjustment foot.
- Power: normal-mode consumption is 143W and standby is under 0.5W. The power adaptor is rated 19.5VDC at 9.23A.
- Throw distance: the projector works from 0.44 to 3.29m, with a 100 inch image at 1.10m. Measure your room before ordering.
- Connections: two HDMI 2.0 inputs, RJ45 LAN control, RS232, a 3.5mm audio output and a 15W speaker are listed.
- In the box: a power cord, remote control, quick start guide and lens cover. A wall or ceiling mount (PJ-WMK-305) and a carry bag (PJ-CASE-008) are optional.
- Wireless casting needs the ViewShare kit, which is sold separately. A screen is also not included.
- Control and noise: LAN control works with Crestron, AMX, PJ Link, ATEN and Extron systems. Audible noise is 32dB in normal mode and 27dB in Eco mode.
4,000 Lumens of Full HD Clarity
The projector delivers 4,000 ANSI lumens at 1080p Full HD resolution. That suits golf simulators, exhibitions and retail environments where you need a bright, detailed image. Text, graphics and video stay readable across a large screen. The native resolution is 1920×1080.
Short Throw Projector: 100 Inches From 1.1 Metres
A 0.5 short throw ratio gives a large image in a small space. The projector can fill a 100 inch screen from just 1.1 metres away. That gives flexibility on where it can be installed, including golf simulator rooms and compact venues.
High Contrast From a 0.65 Inch DMD Chip
The projector uses DLP technology with a 0.65 inch DMD chip from Texas Instruments. That gives high native contrast, with deeper blacks and richer depth in the picture. The specifications list a contrast ratio of 3000000:1. For exhibitions and retail displays, that helps images and video look richer and easier to read.
A Lamp-Free Design With Lower Maintenance
With no lamp to replace, there is less ongoing maintenance and no lamp cost. Power consumption is 143W in normal mode and under 0.5W on standby. For a venue that runs its projector most days, that supports a simpler running routine.
Sealed Engine and Consistent DLP Colour
DLP technology keeps colour performance consistent over time. The sealed engine design (IP6X) is filter-free, so dust does not reach the internal components and maintenance stays minimal. That suits dusty or busy venues where changing filters would be a regular job.
Keystone and Four-Corner Correction
Horizontal and vertical keystone correction, together with four-corner adjustment, removes crooked or distorted images. Keystone range is plus or minus 15° both ways. That helps installers get a properly shaped picture even when the projector cannot sit square to the screen.
Project at Any Angle, Even in Portrait
The projector can rotate vertically at any angle, so it can project onto ceilings, walls or floors. Portrait mode at 90° adds options for projection mapping, staging and creative advertising. That suits retail displays and exhibitions where the layout is not a standard screen.
Centralised Control Over LAN
The LSD400HD-ST is compatible with Crestron, AMX, PJ Link, ATEN and Extron systems. LAN control lets an IT team or integrator manage projectors from one place. For a venue with several projectors, that improves operational efficiency.
Golf Colour Mode for Simulator Rooms
A dedicated Golf Mode enhances colours, especially greens and blues. Fairways and putting surfaces look more vivid, which helps create a realistic golf simulator experience. Venues setting up a simulator can pair this mode with the projector’s short throw ratio.
Add Wireless Casting With ViewShare
The ViewShare Wireless Screen Casting Kit adds wireless content sharing and is sold separately. The projector’s built-in 5V/1.5A USB-A output powers the dongle. That allows streaming and power in one connection without extra adapters or a separate power supply. Confirm the kit you need with us before ordering.
Update Projector Software Over USB
You can update the projector’s software over a USB cable connected to a laptop. That avoids a trip to the service centre for routine updates. For a venue or integrator looking after several projectors, it keeps firmware current with less hassle.
