4K Clarity with Exclusive Golf Mode
The LK936ST delivers 4K UHD resolution at 5,100 ANSI lumens — four times the pixel count of standard 1080p. Its exclusive Golf Mode optimises colour reproduction for natural sky and fairway tones, making every course visually immersive.
Short Throw, Virtually Shadow-Free
A 0.8 throw ratio lets the LK936ST sit 14–15 feet from a near 10-foot-tall image with no shadow interference. Up to 60% vertical and 23% horizontal lens shift ensures installation is straightforward regardless of your room's dimensions.
Key Features
- ◆4K UHD laser engine, 5,100 lumens — 3840 x 2160 resolution with enough brightness to stay crisp under ambient room light, so you're not forced into a blacked-out room to see ball flight clearly.
- ◆Short-throw ratio of 0.81–0.89 with 1.1x zoom — throws a 200" image from roughly 3.6–3.9m (11.8–12.8ft), letting you mount close to the screen instead of hanging the projector over the hitting area.
- ◆Dedicated Golf Mode — a color profile tuned specifically for simulator software, rendering blue sky and fairway green more naturally out of the box instead of the washed-out look you get from standard cinema modes.
- ◆±60% vertical / ±23% horizontal lens shift — gives real installation flexibility in enclosures and rooms where the projector can't sit dead-center on the screen.
- ◆20,000-hour laser light source — no bulbs to replace and no gradual color drift over years of daily use, which matters for commercial bays running 8+ hours a day.
- ◆3,000,000:1 contrast ratio — deep blacks help ball and club overlay graphics stand out against darker course backgrounds instead of looking flat.
- ◆Ceiling or floor mount capable — works in dedicated enclosures or open garage/basement builds without requiring a specialized bracket.

Compatible Software
The LK936ST is a display, not a simulator engine — it works with any golf simulation software your launch monitor supports, projected at native 4K where the software outputs at that resolution. Commonly paired with:
- ◆GSPro — full course simulation, benefits most from the projector's brightness and contrast on shaded/wooded holes.
- ◆E6 Connect — widely used in commercial bays; the Golf Mode color profile pairs well with E6's course rendering.
- ◆TGC 2019 / TGC2 (The Golf Club) — supported the same as any HDMI display; check your launch monitor's compatibility list, not the projector's.
- ◆WGT and other web/app-based sims — run fine at 1080p or 4K depending on the source device.
Software compatibility is determined by your launch monitor and PC, not the projector — confirm your specific software supports your launch monitor before buying either.
Is This Right For You?
Good fit if you:
- ◆Are building a permanent home or commercial bay and want a short-throw laser that lets you mount close to the screen rather than fighting a long-throw setup.
- ◆Have a room with some ambient light — 5,100 lumens gives you margin over lower-brightness lamp projectors.
- ◆Are running a commercial or high-use bay where a 20,000-hour laser engine and no bulb replacements matter to your operating costs.
- ◆Want a genuine 4K image rather than upscaled 1080p, and have a PC/launch monitor combo that can actually output 4K.
Not the right fit if you:
- ◆Are on a tight entry-level budget — this sits in the premium tier of golf sim projectors, and a standard-throw 1080p model will get you hitting balls for meaningfully less.
- ◆Have a very short, shallow room where even short-throw ratios can't comfortably reach your screen size — check the throw distance math before ordering.
- ◆Need built-in speakers as your primary audio — projector speakers are a convenience feature, not a substitute for a real sound setup in a dedicated sim room.
Room Size Guide
The LK936ST's 0.81–0.89 throw ratio with 1.1x zoom means it needs less depth than a standard-throw projector to fill the same screen size — but you still need to size the room around your screen, mat, and swing clearance, not just the projector.
- ◆Projector-to-screen distance: roughly 3.6–3.9m (11.8–12.8ft) for a 200" image; shorter for smaller screens.
- ◆Minimum recommended room length: 4.5–5m (15–16.5ft) from hitting mat to screen for a comfortable swing with drivers.
- ◆Ceiling height: allow clearance for your longest club's full swing plus mounting hardware — 2.7m (9ft) or more is comfortable for most builders.
- ◆Mounting position: use the ±60% vertical / ±23% horizontal lens shift to fine-tune image placement without physically moving the projector — useful when ceiling joists or enclosure framing don't line up perfectly.
Exact placement depends on your screen size and enclosure — call us at +1 (424) 600 9901 and we'll help you map projector position to your specific room dimensions before you buy.
Build Your Setup
The LK936ST is the display piece of your simulator — pair it with:
- ◆Impact screen — a golf-rated screen sized to your throw distance; standard hitting screens won't hold up to ball speed the way purpose-built impact screens do.
- ◆Enclosure — a Carl's Place or SigPro enclosure gives the projector a fixed, protected mounting point and keeps the screen taut for a clean image.
- ◆Launch monitor — TrackMan, Uneekor, Foresight, or Garmin — this is what actually drives ball data into your simulation software.
- ◆Hitting mat — a mat rated for your swing volume and turf preference; commercial bays should size up to a heavier-duty option.
- ◆Ceiling or projector mount — confirm your mount's reach and pitch adjustment work with the LK936ST's throw ratio before installing.
