- Is the BenQ AH30ST good for a golf simulator?
- Yes. Its short throw, 3000 lumens and 1080p resolution suit simulator screens, and it can fill 60 to 200 inches from close range. It is a display only, so you still need a launch monitor and software.
- How close to the screen does it need to be?
- As a short-throw model it sits much closer than a standard projector for the same image size. Exact distance depends on the screen size you want, so check BenQ's throw ratio chart for your 60 to 200 inch target.
- Does it need a replacement lamp?
- No. It uses a Multi-LED light source rated for up to 30,000 hours in ECO mode, so there is no lamp to swap. Expect lower brightness in ECO mode than at full power.
- Can I use it for movies and TV too?
- It works for video, but it is 1080p rather than 4K and has one 10 W speaker. For a dedicated home theater, a 4K projector with better audio would be a stronger pick.
- What is in the box?
- The package includes the projector, a power cord and a remote control. Cables and a mount are not included, so plan for an HDMI source and a ceiling or shelf mount.
- Does it correct for off-center placement?
- Yes. Vertical and horizontal keystone correction of ±30° lets you square the image when the projector is not perfectly centered. Heavy correction can soften the picture slightly.
