BenQ AH30ST 3000-Lumen Short-Throw 1080P LED Golf Simulator Projector

The BenQ AH30ST is a dedicated 1080P short-throw LED golf simulator projector built for smaller sim rooms and low ceilings. With 3,000 ANSI lumens, Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, and a golf-tuned 4LED light engine, it delivers bright, accurate course visuals while keeping heat, noise, and maintenance low. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

A 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio, low 102.5% offset, and BenQ’s Screen Fill (Auto Screen Fill) make it easy to mount the projector safely behind and above the hitting area—even in tight garage bays—while still filling your impact screen. Pair that with a 4LED light source rated up to 20,000–30,000 hours and BenQ’s Golf Mode color tuning, and the AH30ST becomes a killer value for 1080p golf sims that don’t need 4K or laser pricing. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
