BenQ LU935ST 1080P Short-Throw 5500-Lumens Golf Simulator Projector
By BenQ
The Highest-Output Projector In The ESG Lineup.
The LU935ST is a WUXGA laser projector built for large venues and demanding installs, and it brings that same output to a golf simulator bay — 5,500 ANSI lumens, 1920×1200 resolution, and manual lens shift for precise placement without moving the projector body itself. It is the pick for commercial sim lounges, multi-bay facilities, or any build where brightness and resolution matter more than price.
Commercial-Grade Output For Serious Facilities.
5,500-Lumen Laser Engine
The brightest projector in the ESG lineup, holding up in commercial sim lounges and venues with significant ambient light.
WUXGA 1920×1200 Resolution
A step up from 1080P, with more vertical pixel real estate for sharper detail on course visuals and UI overlays.
Manual Lens Shift
±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal lens shift lets the image be repositioned without physically moving the projector.
3,000,000:1 Contrast
Deep blacks and punchy highlights for realistic course lighting and shadow detail.
20,000-Hour Laser Life
Maintenance-free operation across Normal and Eco modes, built for daily commercial use.
2D Keystone & Corner Fit
±30° keystone on both axes plus Corner Fit control for dialing in tricky or off-center mounting positions.
Who Is It Best For?
Commercial sim lounges, multi-bay facilities, and golfers who want the brightest, highest-resolution projector option available and are prioritizing output and precision placement over price.
Precision Placement For Demanding Installs.
Short-Throw Geometry
A 0.81–0.89:1 throw ratio with 1.1× zoom covers most standard sim bay depths while leaving room for fine adjustment.
- 0.81–0.89:1 throw ratio, 1.1× optical zoom
- Manual lens shift (±60% V / ±23% H) for off-axis placement
- 2D keystone (±30° V/H) plus Corner Fit
- Fixed-install grade optics rated for continuous commercial use
Installer Checklist
Lens shift means the mounting position doesn’t have to be perfectly centered on the screen — a real advantage in multi-bay facilities with fixed structural mount points.
- Confirm exact throw distance with the projector fitment tool before drilling
- Use lens shift to fine-tune image position after mounting, rather than re-drilling
- 2× HDMI 2.0a/HDCP2.2, VGA, USB, RJ-45 LAN, and RS-232 for commercial AV integration
- RJ-45 LAN control makes the LU935ST a good fit for multi-bay facilities managed from a central system
A Commercial Laser Projector, Sized For Golf.
The LU935ST is BenQ’s WUXGA fixed-installation laser projector, more commonly found in classrooms, boardrooms, and venues than in a residential golf bay. Elite Sim Golf carries it for golfers and facility owners who want that same commercial-grade brightness, resolution, and lens flexibility in a simulator setup.
Its laser light source is rated for roughly 20,000 hours in Normal and Eco modes, keeping brightness consistent for years without a lamp swap. 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 — the manual lens shift then lets you fine-tune image position without re-drilling.
Ceiling mount notes: because the LU935ST supports true lens shift rather than just digital keystone, it tolerates a wider range of practical mounting positions than most short-throw golf projectors, which is especially useful in retrofits or facilities with existing structural mount points.
For PC-based simulators running GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, or Awesome Golf, the LU935ST connects via dual HDMI 2.0a inputs and handles WUXGA and 1080p signal paths cleanly, with RJ-45 LAN control available for facilities managing multiple bays from one system.
The Full LU935ST Feature Set.
WUXGA Resolution
Native 1920×1200, 16:10 aspect ratio for sharper detail than standard 1080P.
Short-Throw Projection
0.81–0.89:1 throw ratio with 1.1× optical zoom and manual lens shift.
5,500 ANSI Lumens
Commercial-grade brightness that outperforms every other projector in the ESG lineup.
3,000,000:1 Contrast
Deep, realistic shadow detail and highlight punch on course visuals.
Manual Lens Shift
±60% vertical, ±23% horizontal for precise image placement without moving the unit.
Commercial Connectivity
2× HDMI 2.0a/HDCP2.2, VGA x2, USB, RJ-45 LAN, and RS-232 for integrated AV control.
