BenQ AW30ST 3200-Lumen Short-Throw WXGA LED Golf Simulator Projector

The BenQ AW30ST is a compact, short-throw WXGA (1280×800) 4LED golf simulator projector built specifically for tight rooms and low ceilings. With 3,200 ANSI lumens, a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, and BenQ’s exclusive Golf Mode, it delivers bright, true-to-life course colors on 4:3, 16:9, or 16:10 impact screens—without needing deep throw distance or a big budget. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

A 0.72–0.87:1 short-throw ratio and 100% low offset let you mount the projector safely behind the golfer, keeping it out of the swing path and away from pop-up shots while maintaining a clear, shadow-free hitting zone. BenQ’s Screen Fill feature automatically fills common aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10), making the AW30ST a beginner-friendly choice for first-time sim builders who want simplified setup and long-life 4LED performance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Filter-Free, Dust-Resistant Golf Workhorse
