Short Throw Laser for Dedicated Spaces
The LU935ST combines a short throw lens with BenQ laser technology to deliver a bright, stable image in purpose-built simulator rooms. Its compact projection geometry keeps the unit close to the screen and out of the swing path.
Consistent Performance, Minimal Maintenance
IP5X dust sealing and a 20,000-hour laser engine mean the LU935ST runs reliably without ongoing upkeep. Brightness and colour accuracy remain consistent from the first session through years of regular use.

Is This Right For You?
This projector fits you if: you're building a simulator bay in a garage, basement, or commercial space that isn't fully light-controlled, and you want a bright, sharp image without blackout curtains. The 5,500-lumen output and short-throw lens make it a strong fit for well-lit home setups and multi-bay commercial installs where uptime and low maintenance (laser vs. lamp) matter.
It's not the right fit if: you're working with a very tight budget and a fully dark room — a lower-lumen lamp-based projector will do the job for less money if ambient light isn't a factor. It's also overkill for casual, occasional-use setups where a budget short-throw model would perform similarly.
Bottom line: pay the premium here for brightness headroom and laser reliability, not for features you won't use if your room is already dark and low-traffic.
Will It Fit Your Space?
The LU935ST's 0.81–0.89:1 short-throw ratio means it can sit close to the screen — typically within a couple of feet — which helps in tighter bays where a standard-throw projector would need to be mounted further back or higher.
As a general guide for golf simulator rooms:
- Minimum ceiling height: ~9.5 ft (2.9 m) to comfortably clear a full swing with mounted projector and impact screen
- Minimum room length: ~15–16 ft (4.6–4.9 m) for a comfortable swing zone plus screen distance
- Recommended width: ~10–12 ft (3–3.7 m) to avoid clipping the projected image on off-center swings
These are general planning figures, not guarantees for your specific room — mount height and throw distance shift with your exact screen size, so confirm placement with BenQ's throw calculator or call us at +1 (424) 600 9901 and we'll help you map it to your space.
What You'll Also Need
The LU935ST is the display — it needs the rest of the bay to become a working simulator:
- An impact screen (e.g. HomeCourse ProScreen 180) sized to your room and throw distance
- A launch monitor (TrackMan, Uneekor, Foresight, or Garmin) to feed the ball/swing data
- A hitting mat with turf and rough sections
- An enclosure (Carl's Place, SigPro, or SimGolfer branded) if this isn't a dedicated room
- A ceiling or rear projector mount rated for the LU935ST's weight and short-throw offset
- An HDMI cable long enough to run from your PC/launch monitor to the mounted projector

Throw distance is measured from the lens to the impact screen, not from the back wall.
