BenQ LU951ST 5000lms WUXGA Installation Projector

If you plan to mount your projector on the ceiling, both short throw and standard throw projectors can work. Standard throw projectors can also be placed on a cart behind and to the left or right of the golfer, but four corner correction will be needed to make the image look right.

In general, you will want a projector that is 6 to 8 feet away from the screen. If you go any further back you will create shadows as your hit. Every projector has slightly different numbers and distances they can be.

Without a quality projector, you will not reap all the benefits available from a golf simulator. Sub-standard projectors produce low-quality images that can spoil the experience. Quality projectors will enable you to play some of the most renowned golf courses while displaying the intricacies in high definition.

Keep the projector in the center of the golf simulator screen. Install a ramp system below the projector and keep it on the floor. Secure the ramp systemin place using thumbscrews so that it doesn’t move about. Make sure that you center the projector to avoid image distortion.

The minimum space required to set up most golf simulators is 10’W x 10’L x 8.5’H. Things like player height and arm length can factor into how much space is required. If you are a shorter player, then you might be able to get away with a slightly shorter ceiling.

A 16′ by 9′ screen is the ideal screen size for a golf simulator. The 16 feet in length provides the ideal aspect ratio of 16:9 and provides enough space to swing a golf club without fear or hitting a wall. This frees golfers up to play their best golf.

Your projector is designed to be installed on a wall or ceiling (with the included mount). You can also place the projector on almost any flat surface (with the optional floor stand) to project an image in a portable setup, or on a lighting track (with the optional lighting track mount).

8 ft ceiling is too small to use a golf simulator. 8 ½ ft ceiling is the minimum height to use a golf simulator. 9 ft ceiling is the recommended height to use a golf simulator.

You need a projector mounted far enough away from your swing area so you don’t hit it with the club or ball. You also need to avoid shadows by not mounting it directly behind you.

A 16:9 format screen is perfect for broadcast HDTV. It leaves you with small top and bottom black bars on movies that are wider than 16:9, and it requires you to make some compromises with 4:3 material. For most home theater enthusiasts, the visual impact of 16:9 widescreen outweighs issues related to 4:3 display.

To build a golf simulator you need a space that measures 12 feet long, 10 feet wide and 9 feet high, larger rooms are always better. You need 15 feet of width to enjoy a centred aim. You may require more length, width or height depending on you, your launch monitor and your impact screen setup.

No. The default baud rate is 9600 and cannot be changed.

For BenQ projectors designed for general home entertainment and business use, we recommend powering off the projector for 2-3 minutes after every 12 hours of constant use for longer lasting reliability and maximized projector lifespan. BenQ professional projectors designed with corresponding industrial standards can be used continuously for more than 12 hours and do not require a power cycling process as our home and general-use business projectors do. If you have any questions, please contact your local BenQ customer care team for further assistance. Thank you.

It is suggested to power cycle at least every 12 hours for more stable performance.
