★★★★★★ 4.9

My sim room is 10 feet deep including the enclosure. Standard throw projectors needed to be ceiling-mounted 8 feet back which put the projector directly above my swing line. Ultra short throw fixed that completely.

4000 lumens at ultra short throw. I researched this combination for months because I have a window I cannot cover. The image holds without washing out. Every other projector I looked at at this throw distance compromised on brightness.

The AH500ST replaced a standard throw unit I had been fighting with for two years. Throw distance, ceiling height, projector position — all of it just worked from the first setup. Sometimes the right tool genuinely is the right tool.

BenQ AH500ST 1080p 4000 Lumen Laser Ultra Short-Throw Projector — Golf Simulator, 0.5 Throw Ratio, No Shadow

Ultra-Short Throw for Compact Simulator Rooms

The AH500ST's 0.499 throw ratio projects a full 1080p image from as close as 10 feet, making it purpose-built for rooms where space is tight. With 4,000 ANSI lumens and BenQ's IP5X-sealed laser engine, it delivers a bright, consistent picture without the maintenance demands of traditional bulb projectors.

IP5X Sealed Laser — No Bulbs to Replace

BenQ's dust-sealed laser engine is rated to 20,000 hours of use. 2D keystone correction of ±30° horizontal and vertical lets you align the image from almost any position. A 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 30-bit colour depth keep the course looking sharp in any room condition.

Buyer's Guide

Is This Right For You?

✓ Tight or awkward room
Garage bays, basements, and low-ceiling rooms where a standard-throw projector can't be mounted far enough back
✓ Hate shadows on the screen
The 0.499 throw ratio lets you mount it just above and behind the hitter, so your swing and clubhead never block the image
✓ Low-maintenance laser
Sealed IP5X laser engine rated to 20,000 hours — no bulbs to source or replace over the projector's life
✓ Runs any sim software
Plugs in over HDMI — works with GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, TrackMan and more, regardless of launch monitor
✗ Very large commercial bays
At 4,000 lumens the AH500ST is built for home and single-bay commercial rooms — for wide multi-hitter screens or bright venue lighting, look at our higher-lumen laser projectors instead

The AH500ST uses an ultra-short throw ratio of 0.5, which means it can project a large image from just inches away from your screen. This makes it ideal for compact simulator bays where you need a big image without a long throw distance.

Yes. The AH500ST outputs standard 1080p Full HD over HDMI, making it compatible with all major golf simulator software including E6 Connect, TGC 2019, GSPro, Creative Golf 3D, and Foresight Sports software. Simply connect your simulator PC via HDMI.

No. As a laser projector, the BenQ AH500ST lights instantly — no mercury lamp warm-up required. It also shuts off immediately, making it practical for sessions of any length.

The AH500ST delivers 4,000 lumens, which is sufficient for a darkened or light-controlled simulator bay. For best results, reduce ambient light in your hitting area. The laser light source maintains consistent brightness over its rated lifespan.

BenQ rates the laser light source at up to 20,000 hours of use, significantly outlasting traditional lamp-based projectors. The unit comes with BenQ's standard manufacturer warranty — contact us at +1 (424) 600 9901 to confirm current warranty terms for your region.
