Why The LH352BST
An Entry Point Into Optoma Golf Sim Projection
The LH352BST brings Optoma’s Golf Sim Mode, a lamp-free light source, and a zoom lens to the most accessible price point in the Optoma golf lineup. It is a practical fit for a first simulator build, a garage bay, or a room that doubles as a movie and game space.
Lamp-Free 4LED Light
The 4LED light source holds stable color from day one and is rated up to 30,000 hours. No lamps to buy, no warm-up color drift, and no scheduled bulb swaps.
Golf Sim Color Mode
A dedicated Golf Sim picture mode tunes color and contrast for brighter blue skies, deeper shadows, and natural fairway greens, so terrain and ball flight read clearly.
Zoom Lens For Flexible Mounting
The 0.69–0.83:1 lens with 1.2x optical zoom gives a usable range of mount positions instead of one fixed spot, which makes it easier to land the image on an impact screen.
Sharp Full HD 1080p
Native 1920 × 1080 resolution with 1.07 billion displayable colors and Rec.709 color reproduction. 1080p is the resolution most golf simulator PCs run at full frame rate.
Low-Lag Gaming Response
16.7 ms at 1080p/60Hz and 8.4 ms at 1080p/120Hz. Responsive enough for sim play, console gaming, and fast-moving sports.
Fits Any Impact Screen
Supports 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1 aspect ratios plus ±30° horizontal and vertical keystone and geometric correction to square the image to the screen frame.
Who Is It Best For?
- First-time simulator builds on a budget
- Golfers moving off a lamp-based projector
- Rooms where the mount sits farther back than an ultra-short throw allows
- Garage and basement bays with controlled lighting
- Multi-use rooms: sim, movies, sports, and gaming
- Builds pairing a 1080p simulator PC with GSPro or E6 Connect
Short Throw & Setup
Placement And Geometry Toolkit
Placement Flexibility
Optoma rates the LH352BST for an 80″–300″ image from about 4–18 ft away. The 1.2x zoom lets the image size be fine-tuned after the mount is set, and the 102% native offset projects the image just off the lens centerline for a ceiling mount.
- Throw ratio: 0.69–0.83:1
- Zoom: 1.2x optical
- Image size: 30″–300″ diagonal (Optoma rating)
- Native offset: 102% ±3%
- Keystone: horizontal ±30°, vertical ±30°
- Aspect ratios for impact screens: 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 1:1
Installer Checklist
The zoom range gives some room for error, but mount position still sets the starting image size. Keystone and geometric correction are for final squaring, not for correcting a mount in the wrong spot.
- Confirm screen width and final aspect ratio
- Verify ceiling height and the mount’s position relative to the tee
- Confirm throw distance with the projector fitment tool
- Plan HDMI and power runs to the mount
- Center the projector on the screen; no optical lens shift is listed
- Switch to Golf Sim Mode after alignment and focus
What Is The LH352BST
Optoma’s 4LED Short Throw For Golf Sim And Home Entertainment
The LH352BST is a single-chip DLP projector with native 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution, 3,300 lumens measured to ISO 21118, and a 300,000:1 native contrast ratio (2,000,000:1 dynamic). Instead of a lamp or laser, it uses a 4LED light source rated up to 30,000 hours, so there is no bulb to replace over the life of the projector.
Placement range: Optoma rates the LH352BST for a 30″–300″ image and an 80″–300″ image from about 4–18 ft. The 0.69–0.83:1 lens places the projector farther from the screen than a 0.5:1 ultra-short throw, which suits ceiling positions above or behind the golfer. The exact lens-to-screen distance depends on your screen width, aspect ratio, and mount, so check your room in the ESG projector fitment tool and throw calculator before you mount.
Mount notes: the chassis measures 12.09″ × 8.98″ × 4.5″ and weighs 7 lbs, so a standard universal ceiling mount handles it. It supports 360° operation and is rated for 24/7 use. Optoma lists no lens shift, so center the mount on the screen and use the 1.2x zoom, keystone, and geometric correction for final fit.
Simulator compatibility: any PC-based golf software runs over either HDMI 2.0 input, including GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and Awesome Golf. Golf Sim Mode handles course color, and the 1080p native resolution matches what most simulator PCs output at full frame rate.

Optoma 1080p Golf Sim Projectors
All three are Full HD 1080p short-throw projectors with Golf Sim-ready color and 24/7 operation. They differ in light source, brightness, and lens geometry: the LH352BST uses a 4LED engine and a zoom lens, while the GT models use a sealed laser and a fixed 0.496:1 lens for very shallow rooms.

Build The Complete Bay
Pair The LH352BST With The Rest Of The Build
A projector is one piece of the simulator. Elite Sim Golf builds the full bay (enclosure, screen, hitting surface, launch monitor, PC, and projector) sized and shipped together so the geometry works the first time.
Pair It With An ESG Enclosure
The Birdie 10 is built for garages and spare rooms, and the Eagle 12 steps up to a wider screen. Run either enclosure through the fitment tool with the LH352BST to confirm mount distance before ordering.
Build A Complete SimKit
Pre-built SimKit bundles include the projector, enclosure, hitting surface, launch monitor, and PC, matched to your room size and budget. Or use the Bundle Builder to spec a custom kit.
