BenQ AH700ST 1080p Short-Throw Laser Golf Simulator Projector

Golf-Ready Laser Projection with Flexible Short-Throw Installation

The BenQ AH700ST is a Full HD laser projector built with indoor golf simulation in mind. It combines 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, a dedicated Golf picture mode and a flexible short-throw lens to create an immersive image without requiring a long projector-to-screen distance. Its 1.2x motorized zoom and focus features make it easier to fine-tune the image during setup, while Auto Screen Fit helps adapt the picture to common simulator screen formats.

Projector Placement & Golf Simulator Compatibility

The AH700ST's 0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio is intended for short-throw installations, helping place the projector closer to the impact screen than many standard projectors. Its motorized zoom provides some flexibility when matching the image to your enclosure or screen. Final placement depends on your screen's image dimensions, aspect ratio, ceiling height and mounting position.

Before ordering: Measure your usable screen area and the available projector-to-screen distance, then confirm the image size with BenQ's projection calculator or Golf-Sim planning tools. The AH700ST is a native 1080p projector, not a native 4K model. Digital keystone correction can help with minor alignment, but careful physical positioning is recommended for the sharpest image.

Is the BenQ AH700ST Right for Your Setup?

The AH700ST is worth considering if you want a bright, golf-focused Full HD laser projector with a short-throw lens, motorized zoom and helpful setup features. It is a practical choice for dedicated home golf simulator rooms and multi-purpose entertainment spaces. If native 4K resolution is a priority, consider a 4K golf simulator projector instead.
