Is the NEC NP-P605UL worth it for a conference room?

Yes, if the room is large and the projector will be ceiling-mounted. The 6,000 lumens and 20,000-hour laser source mean little maintenance and no lamp swaps. For a small dim room, a cheaper lamp projector does the job.

Does it show true 4K?

No. It accepts 4K@30Hz input and processes it, but the native panel resolution is WUXGA 1920x1200. Content is scaled to that resolution.

How large an image can it project?

From 76 cm up to 762 cm diagonally, depending on throw distance. The 1.23–2.0:1 throw ratio and 1.6x zoom cover most room sizes.

Do I need to replace a lamp?

No. It uses a laser light source rated for 20,000 hours, so there is no lamp to buy or change.

The projector, power cable, remote control and quick-start documentation. Cables and a ceiling mount are not included.

How does it compare with a lamp-based WUXGA projector?

It trades a higher upfront outlay for a 20,000-hour laser source, 6,000 lumens and motor-free lens shift that lamp models in its class often lack. Lamp units cost less to buy but need bulb changes and usually dim over time.

Our take on the NEC NP-P605UL LCD Projector

The NEC NP-P605UL is a 6,000-lumen WUXGA laser LCD projector built for installation in meeting rooms, lecture halls and auditoriums. It pairs a 20,000-hour laser light source with a 1.6x zoom, wide horizontal and vertical lens shift, and a 500,000:1 contrast ratio, so it can be mounted off-center and still fill a large screen. It is heavy at 9.7 kg and needs a ceiling mount, so it is not a portable unit.

Horizontal and vertical lens shift plus 1.6x zoom ease off-center mounting

Cons

Heavy at 9.7 kg, so it needs a sturdy mount and a two-person install
