Depends on room lighting and image width: from 3,000 lm (dark) to 7,000+ lm (ambient light/event).
Why a dedicated projector for the golf simulator?
Golf simulators need more than a living-room projector: short throw distance for large images at a safe distance, high brightness to counter stray light, and clean optics without distortion.
Short throw:
Large image from 1.5–3.0 m distance
(depending on image width/optics).
Brightness:
4,500–7,000+ ANSI Lumen for clear visibility even in ambient light.
Latency & Sharpness:
Low input lag, Full HD/WUXGA or 4K
(native or e-Shift).
Recommended Setups
More realism, fewer compromises: Short-throw projectors from 3,000 to 10,000 lumens – perfect for large impact screens, precise alignment and low latency.
STARTER

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
WUXGA (16:10) is flexible; 4K for maximum sharpness on large screens.
Yes, typically a 0.5–0.8:1 throw ratio, to mount outside the throw.
For a natural feel, latency should be low (< 20–30 ms is ideal).
Laser: instantly bright, minimal maintenance; Lamp: cheaper to buy.
Yes, with Lens-Shift ideal; keystone correction should be minimized as much as possible.
16:10 makes good use of screen height and is software-friendly; 16:9 is widely used.
Yes – common systems (SkyTrak, TrackMan, GCQuad, etc.) work display-agnostically; the important factors are image size and brightness.
