Description

The BenQ AH500ST 4000-Lumen Short Throw 1080P Laser Golf Simulator Projector is built to make golf sims simple, sharp, and safe. A fast, accurate Screen Fill feature dials in common aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10) to your impact screen, while Golf Mode renders lifelike turf and terrain. A sealed, dust-resistant laser engine delivers bright, high-contrast visuals (up to 3,000,000:1) with 4000 ANSI lumens for confident playback in a variety of lighting conditions. With its 0.499 short-throw lens, you can mount behind the hitter to eliminate shadows and reduce collision risk.
