The BenQ AK800ST is a 4K UHD short-throw laser projector made for golf simulator rooms. Its 0.69–0.83 throw ratio and 1.2x motorized zoom fill a full impact screen from less room depth than most 4K projectors need. Auto Screen Fit 2.0 and one-touch autofocus set up the image quickly.
It produces 5,000 ANSI lumens with native 4K UHD resolution and 3,000,000:1 contrast. The laser engine is sealed to IP5X and is rated up to 30,000 hours in Eco mode, with no bulbs or filters. HDMI 2.1 and input lag as low as 4.8 ms at 1080p/240 make it responsive for golf simulation and gaming.
Golf Mode 2.0 tunes color and texture for realistic courses. Auto Screen Fit 2.0 uses a built-in camera to read flat or curved screens, and Smart Warping handles curved screens. Screen Memory switches between golf and movie or gaming presets, and the Ambient Light Enhancer adapts to room light.
