Product Description
Build a more immersive golf simulator with the BenQ AH700ST 1080p Short-Throw Laser Golf Projector, a purpose-built projector designed to make golf simulation easier to install while delivering bright, detailed visuals on large impact screens. With Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, 4,000 ANSI lumens, 95% Rec.709 color coverage, and a long-lasting laser light source, the AH700ST provides a powerful combination of image quality, brightness, and reliability for home and commercial golf simulator environments.
The AH700ST stands out for its simplified setup. BenQ's Auto Screen Fit technology automatically detects the impact screen and adjusts the image to the appropriate aspect ratio, supporting 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1 screens. The projector can then use its motorized zoom and digital correction features to help fill the screen, while Quick Focus makes final image adjustments fast and straightforward.
Its 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio and 1.2× motorized optical zoom allow the projector to be positioned behind the golfer in many simulator configurations. This helps keep the hitting area clear and reduces the risk of the golfer or club coming into contact with an overhead projector. The placement also helps minimize shadows across the impact screen. BenQ specifically designed the AH700ST around this safer short-throw positioning for golf simulation.
The AH700ST delivers 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and 95% Rec.709 color coverage, producing vibrant and natural-looking golf-course visuals even in rooms with some ambient light. Its dedicated Golf Mode is tuned to reproduce realistic course colors, while Cinema, Game, HDR10, and HLG modes provide additional versatility for movies, sports, and gaming.
The laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours, helping eliminate traditional lamp replacement and reducing ongoing maintenance. The projector also features a dust-resistant laser design, making it well suited for the garage, basement, or dedicated simulator environment.
Gaming performance is another advantage, with input lag as low as 16.7 ms at 1080p/120Hz. The AH700ST also supports eARC with 7.1-channel audio, allowing compatible soundbars and audio systems to deliver a more immersive entertainment experience.
Whether you're building a dedicated golf simulator or a multi-purpose entertainment room, the BenQ AH700ST combines short-throw flexibility, automatic screen setup, high brightness, accurate color, and long-lasting laser technology into a projector designed to get you playing faster.

Why Choose the BenQ AH700ST?
The BenQ AH700ST is designed around one of the biggest challenges in golf simulator construction: getting a large, properly aligned image without putting the projector directly in the golfer's swing path.
Its combination of a 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio, 1.2× motorized zoom, Auto Screen Fit, Quick Focus, and flexible keystone correction makes installation significantly easier than with a conventional projector. At the same time, its 4,000-lumen laser light source and 95% Rec.709 color coverage provide the brightness and color accuracy needed for an immersive golf experience.
For golfers who want a projector that is specifically designed around golf simulation rather than simply adapted for it, the AH700ST is an excellent choice. It combines easy setup, safe short-throw positioning, long-term laser reliability, and strong Full HD image quality in a compact package.
