Product Description
Bring your golf simulator to life with the BenQ AK700ST 4K UHD Short-Throw Laser Golf Projector, a purpose-built projector designed to deliver exceptionally detailed golf visuals while making installation easier in a wide range of simulator environments. With true 4K UHD resolution, 4,000 ANSI lumens, 95% Rec.709 color coverage, and a long-lasting laser light source, the AK700ST combines premium image quality with the flexibility needed for both golf simulation and home entertainment.
With 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution and 8.3 million pixels, the AK700ST reveals fine details across virtual fairways, greens, bunkers, terrain, and course graphics. The high-resolution image is especially valuable on large golf impact screens, where additional detail helps create a more immersive simulation experience. Its 4,000 ANSI lumens provide strong brightness for both darker simulator rooms and spaces where some ambient light is present.
Installation is designed to be simple. The projector's 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw ratio and 1.2× motorized optical zoom allow it to produce large images without requiring excessive room depth. BenQ positions the AK700ST behind the golfer to help keep the projector outside the swing path and reduce shadows across the impact screen. The projector can support displays of up to 200 inches, making it well suited for large home and commercial simulator screens.
BenQ's Auto Screen Fit technology makes initial setup significantly easier by automatically adjusting the image to fit the screen. The system supports 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1 screen formats, while Quick Focus helps bring the image into sharp focus without repeated manual adjustments. Corner Fit and 3D keystone correction provide additional flexibility when precise physical alignment isn't possible.
Color is tuned specifically for golf with BenQ's dedicated Golf Mode, designed to reproduce realistic fairway, green, bunker, and terrain colors. The AK700ST also includes Cinema, Game, HDR10, HLG, and sRGB picture modes, allowing it to transition easily from golf simulation to movies, sports, and gaming.
For gamers, the AK700ST provides input lag as low as 16.7 ms at 1080p/120Hz and 8.4 ms at 1080p/240Hz, while 4K/60Hz operation has approximately 33.4 ms input lag. This gives the projector enough responsiveness for gaming while maintaining the detail of its native 4K resolution.
The AK700ST also supports image warping for curved impact screens, with selectable matrix options that allow the projected image to conform to curved surfaces. This makes it a particularly versatile choice for immersive simulator builds where a flat screen isn't the goal.
A 20,000-hour laser light source eliminates traditional lamp replacement and provides a low-maintenance projection solution for frequently used simulator environments. The projector also features an IP5X dustproof sealed optical engine, helping protect the internal components from dust and reducing maintenance requirements.
With eARC supporting 7.1-channel audio, dual HDMI 2.0b inputs, USB connectivity, and optional wireless projection, the AK700ST can serve as more than a golf simulator projector. It can become the centerpiece of a multi-purpose entertainment room for golf, movies, sports, and gaming.
