Is the BenQ AK700ST a good projector for a golf simulator?

Yes. The BenQ AK700ST is purpose-built for golf simulators with a 0.69-0.83:1 short-throw ratio, 4000 ANSI lumens, 4K UHD resolution, golf-optimized color modes, and Auto Screen Fit for fast setup.

How far back does the AK700ST need to be mounted?

The AK700ST has a 0.69-0.83:1 short-throw range with 1.2x motorized zoom, which provides meaningful slack on the install position. For the exact lens-to-screen distance based on your screen size and aspect ratio, use the Elite Sim Golf projector fitment tool and throw calculator at https://elitesimgolf.com/pages/projector-fitment-tool-and-throw-calculator before mounting.

How does the AK700ST compare to the BenQ LK830ST and LK936ST?

The LK830ST is a 4,000 lumen 4K ultra-short-throw projector with a fixed 0.496:1 lens, ideal for compact rooms where the projector must mount close to the screen. The AK700ST is a 4,000 lumen short-throw projector with a 0.69-0.83:1 throw ratio and 1.2x motorized zoom, ideal for standard sim bays where the projector mounts behind the player. The LK936ST is a 5,100 lumen high-output 4K projector for commercial-grade bays and very bright rooms.

Does the AK700ST work with GSPro and E6 Connect?

Yes. The AK700ST connects to any PC-based simulator software including GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and Awesome Golf via dual HDMI 2.0 inputs or USB-C with DP Alt Mode.

How long does the laser light source in the AK700ST last?

The AK700ST uses a laser light engine rated for approximately 20,000 hours of stable brightness. That is years of daily simulator use without the lumens degradation that affects lamp-based projectors after 1,000 to 2,000 hours.

Purpose-Built For Sim Bays

Built For Golf From The Lens Out.

Most projectors are repurposed home-theater units pushed into a sim bay. The AK700ST is engineered around simulator geometry from the start — short throw to clear the swing, 4K resolution to make GSPro and E6 visuals pop, and golf-tuned color modes so greens look like greens. Pair it with the right enclosure and you get a clean, professional-looking image without compromise.

Why The AK700ST

A Top-Tier Sim Projector For Serious Bays.

Golf-Optimized 4K Laser Engine

True 4K UHD clarity with a bright 4000 ANSI lumen laser light source and strong dynamic contrast for crisp course visuals, UI overlays, and ball-flight tracers.

Safe Short-Throw Mounting

The 0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio is ideal for golf bays. Mount behind the player without shadows while still filling a large impact screen.

Auto Screen Fit + Quick Focus

Dial in screen fill and focus faster with Auto Screen Fit, remote-friendly focus, and full geometry tools for rooms with imperfect angles.

Simulator-Friendly Connectivity

Built for modern PC-based sims with dual HDMI 2.0 inputs, USB-C with DP Alt Mode, and easy integration into any GSPro or E6 setup.

Home + Commercial Ready

Designed to handle frequent use with a dust-resistant IP5X optical engine and long-life laser brightness stability versus lamp projectors.

Motorized Zoom Flexibility

1.2× motorized zoom makes fine-tuning image size easy without constantly adjusting the mount or repositioning the projector.

Who Is It Best For?

Serious home simulator builders and small commercial bays that want 4K resolution, golf-specific tuning, and brighter output than entry-level laser projectors — without jumping to the commercial price tier.

Short Throw & Setup

Screen-Filling Picture, Painless Setup.

Short-Throw Geometry

The AK700ST is engineered for simulator bays where the projector needs to stay behind the player but still fill a large impact screen with a sharp, bright image.

0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio for shadow-free mounting
1.2× motorized zoom to fine-tune image size without moving the mount
Ideal for 10–13 ft wide simulator enclosures
Native 16:9 plus 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1 support

Auto Screen Fit & Quick Setup

BenQ’s automation features make it easier to dial in the image without endless ladder trips or GPU menu digging.

Auto Screen Fit detects the screen and fills it with one button
Quick Focus for fast, precise focus adjustments from the ground
Keystone + Corner Fit for squaring images in real-world rooms
3D Keystone with ±30° vertical, horizontal, and rotation
Use the ESG fitment tool to dial exact mounting distance

What Is The AK700ST

Engineered Around Simulator Geometry.

The AK700ST is a 4K UHD short-throw projector built around a laser light engine rated for roughly 20,000 hours of stable brightness — meaning years of daily simulator use without the lumens degradation that hits lamp-based projectors after 1,000–2,000 hours.

With a 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw range and 1.2× motorized zoom, the AK700ST mounts behind the hitting area, out of the swing path, and well above ball-strike level when ceiling mounted. For the exact lens-to-screen distance based on your screen size and aspect ratio, run the numbers in the ESG projector fitment tool and throw calculator before mounting.

Ceiling mount notes: the 1.2× motorized zoom gives meaningful slack on the install position, and BenQ’s Auto Screen Fit and Corner Fit handle final alignment from the ground without ladder trips.

For PC-based simulators running GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, or Awesome Golf, the AK700ST connects via either dual HDMI 2.0 or USB-C with DP Alt Mode — making it easy to pair with a desktop, laptop, or dedicated sim PC.
