Best 4K projectors for home golf simulators

Start with the BenQ AK700ST. It's built for golf sims: a 4K laser ultra-short-throw that sits right under the screen, so nobody casts a shadow on the ball flight, and 4,000 lumens holds up in a room with lights on.

Who the others suit:

• Epson LS800 — the best all-rounder if the bay is tight; ultra-short throw, sharp 4K and a strong rating, and it's the pick for a bright, multi-use room.
• Optoma ZK521ST-B — the value route into a dedicated sim bay; short throw, laser, 4K.
• BenQ AK800ST / LK936ST — step up in brightness for very large screens or a room with lots of daylight.
• BenQ AK900ST — the no-compromise option for a big, bright commercial-style bay.
• ViewSonic LS740-4K — a bright 4K laser if you want a standard-throw setup instead.

Check throw distance against your screen size before buying — that decides more than anything else here.
