BenQ AW30ST WXGA 3200 Lumen LED Short-Throw Projector — Golf Simulator, Education, Home Theater

Yes. BenQ projectors connect via HDMI to any sim PC running E6, GSPro, TGC 2019, or Creative Golf. Short-throw models are ideal for sim bays — they minimise shadow interference and keep the arm compact.

1080p Full HD is the standard — most sim software runs natively at 1920×1080. 4K UHD is noticeably sharper if your PC can handle it. WXGA (1280×800) is the entry-level option and still looks great on a 2.5–3m screen at short throw distances.

Short-throw models (ST in the name) typically need 0.8–1.5m to produce a 2.5–3m wide image. Ultra short-throw (UST) can sit as close as 0.3–0.5m. Standard throw needs 2–4m. Check the throw ratio in the specs to calculate your exact distance.

Both are excellent — no bulb to replace, 20,000+ hour lifespan, instant-on. Laser typically delivers higher brightness and better colour in rooms that aren't fully blacked out. LED tends to be more compact and energy-efficient. Either works well for most setups.

Dark dedicated sim room: 2,500–3,500 lumens is plenty. Room with ambient light: 4,000+ lumens. Commercial venues that can't be blacked out: 5,000+ lumens. Higher lumens also allow a larger screen without losing image brightness.

All BenQ projectors include a 3-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failure under normal use. BenQ's US support team handles claims directly.

A white wall works for movies or gaming. For golf simulation you need an impact screen — the ball physically strikes it and it's built to absorb hits without damage. We stock a range of screens to suit every enclosure size.
