The BenQ AH500ST is built for golf simulators. It delivers a vivid full HD (1920 × 1080) picture, laser reliability, and a short-throw setup that’s well-suited to compact bays. It’s a purpose-built projector that brings lifelike clarity, smooth motion and quick, fuss-free installation to home or commercial golf simulators.

Developed with golf in mind, the AH500ST comes with BenQ’s Golf Mode, tuned in collaboration with course designers so fairways, greens and skies look natural and immersive. Add HDR10/HLG support and you get punchy highlights and convincing depth that keep your focus on the shot.

With a 0.499:1 short-throw lens, you can fill big screens from close range, which is ideal for garages and smaller studios. The laser light source runs up to 20,000 hours, and even longer Eco mode, which should give you years of consistent brightness with minimal maintenance.

Setup is straightforward: Screen Fill supports 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and 1:1, Quick Focus dials in sharpness fast, and 2D keystone (±30° vertical & ±30° horizontal) helps square the image in tight spaces. A 112% projection offset gives sensible mounting flexibility for typical golf bays.

On performance, you get 4,000 ANSI lumens and a 3,000,000:1 (FOFO) contrast ratio for crisp visuals in ambient or low-light rooms. Input lag is low and responsive - 16.7 ms at 1080p/120 Hz (and 33.4 ms at 1080p/60 Hz). The result is that ball flight and feel track cleanly with your swing. The sealed, dust-resistant design is well-suited to multipurpose spaces.
