BenQ AH700ST: Ultimate Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector
By BenQ
Will This Projector Fit My Space?
The Complete 1080P Laser Golf Projector.
The AH700ST is BenQ’s flagship 1080P golf simulator projector — a laser light engine at 4,000 ANSI lumens, a short-throw zoom lens for flexible mounting, and Auto Screen Fit that squares up the image automatically. It is the projector to reach for when a build calls for maintenance-free brightness and the fastest possible setup, without stepping up to 4K.
Every Feature A Serious Sim Bay Needs.
Auto Screen Fit
Automatically detects and squares the image to the screen on power-up, cutting setup time compared to manual keystone and zoom adjustment.
4,000-Lumen Laser Engine
Bright enough for garages and bonus rooms with ambient light, with 3,000,000:1 contrast for deep shadow detail on course visuals.
IP5X Dust-Sealed Optics
A sealed optical engine keeps garage dust out of the light path, protecting image quality over years of use.
Golf Mode Color Tuning
Factory-calibrated color profile for turf, sky, and fairway tones at roughly 95% Rec.709 coverage.
Low Input Lag
Around 16 ms in Game Mode keeps shot feedback and ball-flight rendering feeling instant, not delayed.
Flexible Short-Throw Mounting
0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio with 1.2× zoom covers a wide range of ceiling heights and mounting distances.
Who Is It Best For?
Golfers who want the most complete 1080P golf simulator projector BenQ makes — laser brightness, automated setup, and dust protection — without moving up to 4K resolution or UST fixed-lens geometry.
Fast Setup, Flexible Geometry.
Short-Throw Geometry
A 100″ image projects from roughly 5.7–6.9 ft away, covering most standard sim bay depths.
- 0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio, 1.2× optical zoom
- ~102.5% offset keeps the image low without extreme downward tilt
- 2D keystone correction for angled or off-axis mounts
- Compatible with ceiling or floor mounting
Installer Checklist
Auto Screen Fit removes much of the manual dial-in, but confirm distance before mounting hardware goes up.
- Confirm exact throw distance with the projector fitment tool before drilling
- Run Auto Screen Fit after mount to square the image automatically
- 2× HDMI 2.0 inputs plus USB-C for a simple, modern connection path
- Sealed IP5X engine tolerates garage-level dust without extra filtration
BenQ’s Complete Laser Golf Projector.
The AH700ST sits at the top of BenQ’s 1080P golf simulator lineup — a laser light source paired with Auto Screen Fit, Golf Mode color tuning, and dust-sealed optics. It is the projector built for golfers who want the setup and reliability of a premium unit without stepping up to 4K.
The laser light source is rated for roughly 20,000 hours, eliminating lamp changes over the projector’s service life. For exact mounting distance based on screen size and aspect ratio, run the numbers in the projector fitment tool and throw calculator before finalizing the mount.
Ceiling mount notes: the 1.2× optical zoom plus 2D keystone gives real flexibility on install position, and Auto Screen Fit handles final image squaring automatically once the projector is powered on.
For PC-based simulators running GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, or Awesome Golf, the AH700ST connects via dual HDMI 2.0 and handles 1080p signal paths with input lag low enough for responsive shot feedback.
