BenQ AH500ST | 4000lm Short Throw 1080P Laser Golf Projector
BenQ AH500ST 4000lm Short Throw 1080P Laser Golf Projector
More brightness. Laser precision. A Projector Built for serious sim rooms.
The BenQ AH500ST steps up to laser light source technology, delivering 4,000 ANSI lumens, BenQ's exclusive Golf Mode color calibration, and a short-throw design optimized for both floor and ceiling mounting in dedicated golf simulator spaces. More power, more realism, same shadow-free swing zone.
Short Throw Projector. Full Screen. No Shadows.
The AH500ST's short-throw lens keeps the projector out of the swing path and eliminates the shadow interference that standard throw projectors introduce into the hitting zone. Whether ceiling or floor mounted, the short-throw design maximizes your available space and works cleanly in rooms where throw distance is limited.

BenQ Screen Fill automatically switches between 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1 native aspect ratios via remote hotkey — no menu diving, no repeated adjustments. The image fills your impact screen completely, with zero distortion and no wasted borders.

4,000 Lumens. Performs in Any Lighting Condition.
At 4,000 ANSI lumens, the AH500ST is built for impact screens that demand more. Whether your sim room has ambient light coming in or you're running full blackout, the AH500ST holds contrast and color fidelity across both conditions:
- Lights on: Clear contrast and vibrant color in well-lit rooms
- Lights off: Sharp contrast and vivid detail in low-light environments
The step up from the AH30ST's 3,000 lumens makes a meaningful difference on larger impact screens where brightness drop-off at the edges becomes noticeable.
A Projector with Golf Mode: True-to-Course Color Calibration
The AH500ST includes BenQ's exclusive Golf Mode — a color profile specifically tuned to reproduce the natural, organic tones found on real golf courses. Fairway greens, rough textures, sand, sky — all rendered with the accuracy and depth that makes simulation feel like the real thing, across the most iconic courses in the world.
Laser light source technology underpins this accuracy, delivering consistent color output that doesn't shift or degrade over time the way LED and lamp sources can.
Remote-First Installation
BenQ integrates the most commonly needed installation functions — screen ratio, alignment, focus, and Screen Fill switching — directly into dedicated remote hotkeys. Setup adjustments that typically require repeated trips to the projector menu are handled instantly from wherever you're standing. Clean, efficient, and repeatable.
Low Input Lag. High Frame Rate Support.
The AH500ST supports 16.7ms input lag at 1080p/120Hz — the lowest lag configuration available — and 33.4ms at 1080p/60Hz. For golf simulation software where swing data and visual feedback need to stay locked together, the 120Hz pathway keeps response tight and the experience accurate.
1080p FHD for Sim, Sports, and Cinema
The AH500ST is purpose-built for golf, but its 1920×1080 Full HD resolution and Cinema Mode make it fully capable for watching tournament coverage, sports, and movies on your impact screen. One projector, multiple uses for your dedicated space.
Laser Reliability. Limited Maintenance.
The AH500ST's laser light source delivers up to 20,000 hours of consistent output — years of daily sim use with no lamp replacements, no color shift, and no degrading brightness over time.
An IP5X dustproof sealed engine operates reliably across temperatures from 32–104°F, eliminating filter replacements and routine cleaning. It's built to run in real sim room conditions without intervention.
