Immersive Visuals for Your Golf Simulation
The BenQ AH500ST golf simulator projector delivers a vibrant and engaging visual experience for your indoor golf setup. This short-throw laser projector is specifically engineered for compact environments such as garages, basements, or family rooms, making it an ideal choice for home golf simulation. With a bright 4,000 Lumens and a crisp 1080p resolution, it projects clear, detailed images that enhance your virtual golf rounds. The projector's impressive 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 30-bit color depth, capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors, ensure that every blade of grass and sky appears lifelike on your impact screen. Its native 16:9 aspect ratio is complemented by support for 4:3 and 16:10, offering flexibility for various screen types. The exclusive BenQ Screen Fill feature automatically adjusts the image to fit your screen perfectly, eliminating distortion and providing a seamless visual experience. Additionally, BenQ's dedicated Golf Mode optimizes colors to present vivid greens and deep blues, creating a more realistic and immersive golf environment.
Optimal Performance in Confined Spaces
Designed with a 0.5:1 short-throw ratio, the BenQ AH500ST excels at projecting large, sharp images even when positioned close to the screen. For instance, it can fill a 200-inch, 16:9 aspect screen from a mere 7.4 feet away, or an 8x10 foot impact screen from just 7 feet. This capability is crucial for those with limited room size or lower ceiling heights, allowing for a full-sized golf simulation experience without needing extensive space. The projector's fixed zoom and 2D keystone correction (vertical: ±30°, horizontal: ±30°) further aid in achieving a perfectly aligned image. To assist with planning your setup, BenQ offers an advanced 3D golf simulation planning tool, which helps determine the optimal mounting location for the projector and avoid casting shadows during play. For more details on projector placement, you can utilize our golf simulator screen size calculator.

Effortless Setup and Long-Lasting Reliability
The BenQ AH500ST prioritizes ease of setup and installation. It includes a dedicated remote control hotkey for quick adjustments to screen ratio, alignment, and focus. An integrated autofocus function, utilizing a camera, ensures a sharp image with just a touch of a button, simplifying the initial configuration process. The projector's robust design features an IP5X certified dustproof, sealed laser engine, which guarantees reliable operation in temperatures ranging from 32°F to 104°F. This sealed design significantly reduces the need for frequent filter cleaning, contributing to lower maintenance. The laser light source offers exceptional longevity, providing up to 20,000 hours of operation in normal mode and an extended 38,000 hours in ECO mode. This extended lifespan minimizes the need for lamp replacements, ensuring consistent performance for years of golf simulation enjoyment. The AH500ST shares intelligent technology with the Ace AH700ST, automating the install and setup process to achieve a perfect image for your chosen screen and space.
Seamless Connectivity and Audio Integration
Connectivity is straightforward with the BenQ AH500ST, featuring two HDMI 2.0a inputs that support HDR10 and HLG content, allowing for high-quality video input from various devices. A LAN port is also included for network connectivity, and optional wireless connectivity is available for added convenience. The projector also comes equipped with a built-in 10W speaker, providing ambient sound effects to further enhance your golf simulator experience. While the AH500ST does not directly measure club or ball data like a launch monitor, its role is to provide the visual foundation for your simulation. For a complete setup, you would pair this projector with a compatible launch monitor that provides metrics such as ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and club head speed. Unlike systems such as SkyTrak (ST MAX), Bushnell, or Foresight, which integrate projection with data capture, the BenQ AH500ST focuses solely on delivering superior visual output for your chosen simulation software.
