Optoma EH200ST Golf Simulator Projector

However a native 4:3 aspect ratio goes hand-in-hand with lower resolution than anyone would want for a golf simulator. So as a practical matter, you’ll generally want to use a projector resolution that has a native 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio, and adjust the image to give you a 4:3 aspect ratio plus letterboxing.

The brighter your room is, the more important it is to have a high lumens projector. As a general rule of thumb, you can get by in dark rooms with lumens above 2000+ but we typically recommend getting a projector above 3000+ for the best golf simulation experience.

The best position for the projector will usually be roughly 4 feet behind the tee location, which makes the distance easy enough to figure out. However, the width of the simulator is a limiting factor, and thus you probably use a 16:9 or 16:10 projector to project a 4:3 image.

Look for projectors with high contrast to bring you the closest to the course. Resolution – All of the projectors at Shop Indoor Golf are 1080p, but there are also 4K options available. If you plan on using your projector for movies as well as golf, consider a 4K option for a better movie-watching experience.

The theater features two projectors. A Sony laser projector for the golf simulator and a Sony 4K projector for theater viewing.

Ultimate SkyTrak SIG12 or GS13 studio – 4K laser projector

To light up the SkyTrak SIG12 with its massive display area over 160 inches, or enable the widescreen GS13 Studio to look like a giant 190” television, a true 4K laser projector is the perfect match for these screens.

16:9 is the most common aspect ratio used in a golf simulator impact screen setup. This is the standard aspect ratio used in newer television and computer monitors. An impact screen that is 16ft wide by 9ft high viewable area, would be able to show the entirety of a HD 16:9 image without any distortion.

I hope that this email finds you well. With your SkyTrak Package you will need to mount the projector approximately 6′ feet away from the screen that you are hitting into. We recommend that you hold up the projector at 6′ feet to ensure a quality image on the screen before permanently mounting just so you don’t have to make any adjustments! If you have any other questions or concerns please let us know. Thank you for choosing Rain or Shine Golf, have a great day!

I hope that this email finds you well, thank you for reaching out to Rain or Shine Golf. It depends on which screen you are using for the distance from the screen for projector, for the majority of our screens you will be in the 6′ to 8′ feet range. We recommend that the projector is close to the top frame of the screen you are hitting into. Which impact screen were you interested in?

I look forward to hearing from you soon, have a great day!

I hope that this email finds you well, thank you for reaching out to Rain or Shine Golf. The distance that you mount your projector from your screen depends on the size of your screen. Typically, most customers mount this short throw projector 5′ 6″ to 8′ 6″ away from the screen they are hitting into, depending on the size.

You can use this helpful distance calculator where you can input what projector you are using, this is the Optoma EH200ST, and your screen size and it will provide you with the optimal distance from projector to screen:

I hope that this email finds you well. It is really the customers preference on where to mount the projector. We have learned that customers with a shorter ceiling height prefer the floor enclosure as the fill it gives them more space to swing the club freely.

If you have any other questions please let me know. Thank you for choosing Rain or Shine Golf, have a great week!
