Product Description
Create an immersive golf simulator experience without needing a large dedicated room with the BenQ AH30ST 1080p Short-Throw LED Golf Simulator Projector. Designed specifically for golf simulation and compact spaces, the AH30ST combines Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, 3,000 ANSI lumens, and a long-lasting 4LED light source to deliver bright, detailed course visuals with minimal maintenance.
The AH30ST's 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio and 1.2× zoom make it an excellent solution for garages, basements, and other rooms where projector placement is limited. It can create a large image from a relatively short distance, allowing the projector to be positioned closer to the impact screen and farther away from the golfer's swing path. This short-throw design helps reduce the likelihood of the golfer or club casting shadows across the screen.
With 95% Rec.709 color coverage and a dedicated Golf Mode, the AH30ST is tuned to produce vibrant, natural-looking colors that make fairways, greens, and course environments more immersive. Multiple picture modes, including Cinema, Game, sRGB, and Bright, also make the projector versatile enough for movies, sports, and other entertainment when you're not playing golf.
The 4LED light source provides up to 20,000 hours of operating life in Normal mode and up to 30,000 hours in Eco mode, helping eliminate the need for traditional lamp replacements. The LED design also offers consistent performance with low maintenance, making the AH30ST a practical choice for golfers who use their simulator regularly.
BenQ's Screen Fill technology provides additional flexibility by supporting common aspect ratios, including 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10. Combined with ±30° 2D keystone correction, this makes it easier to achieve a properly aligned image across different simulator screen configurations.
For gaming and entertainment, the AH30ST offers 16.7 ms input lag at 1080p/60Hz, providing responsive gameplay alongside its golf-simulation capabilities. Connectivity includes dual HDMI inputs, USB ports, RS-232, and audio output, while the integrated 10W speaker provides convenient audio without requiring an external sound system for basic setups.
Compact, efficient, and designed specifically for golf simulation, the BenQ AH30ST offers an excellent balance of short-throw performance, Full HD image quality, bright LED projection, accurate color, and long-term reliability for home golfers looking to build an immersive simulator without stepping up to a premium 4K projector.
