BenQ LU935ST 5500-Lumen Short Throw WUXGA Laser Golf Simulator Projector
Brightest WUXGA Laser.
Built For Large Screens.
You're projecting on a screen wider than 13 feet. Or your sim room can't be fully darkened during use. Or your conference room, classroom, or training venue has windows that don't blackout. Or you're filling a large-venue impact screen where a 4,000-lumen projector starts to lose its edge. The BenQ LU935ST is the brightest projector in the lineup at 5,500 ANSI lumens — engineered for big screens and lit rooms where lesser projectors wash out. WUXGA 1920×1200 native resolution, V/H lens shift with 1.1× zoom, IP5X-sealed BlueCore laser life of 20,000 hours, and BenQ's exclusive Golf Mode color calibration.
Built by BenQ — the world's #1 projector brand for four years running, trusted in homes, boardrooms, classrooms, training facilities, simulation bays, and commercial installations worldwide. Dedicated golf-simulator projector line since 2021.
Three Things The LU935ST WUXGA Laser Projector Does Differently.
What makes BenQ's brightest short throw laser simulation projector the right pick for large screens, large rooms, and lit environments.
5,500 Lumens — Built For Light
The brightest projector in the BenQ golf simulator lineup. Holds image quality on screens wider than 13 feet, in rooms that can't be fully darkened, and against the ambient light real sim cameras require.
WUXGA 16:10 — Sharper Than 1080p
1,920 × 1,200 native resolution adds 120 vertical pixels over standard 1080p in a taller 16:10 aspect ratio. More vertical screen space for sim software, terrain, and shot data overlays. Sharper detail without the cost of 4K.
V/H Lens Shift + Zoom + Corner Fit
±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal lens shift, 1.1× optical zoom, 2D keystone, and Corner Fit individual-corner adjustment — the most installation flexibility in the BenQ simulation lineup.
You Probably Recognize Yourself In One Of These.
Three buyers we see for the LU935ST — and why brightness, WUXGA resolution, and lens flexibility matter for each.
You're Projecting On A Large Screen
Wide-format sim bay or large-venue install
- Your screen is wider than 13 feet — a 4,000-lumen projector won't fill it cleanly
- You don't want brightness drop-off at the edges of a wide image
- You want a vivid, undiminished image across the full screen surface
Why this fits: 5,500 ANSI lumens delivers consistent brightness corner-to-corner on screens 150"+ at WUXGA resolution.
You Can't Fully Darken Your Room
Sim bay, classroom, boardroom, or training venue
- Your room has windows, skylights, or ambient light you can't fully block
- Golf sim cameras need significant ambient light for ball-strike capture
- You want HDR10 image quality that holds up regardless of lighting
Why this fits: 5,500 lumens cuts through ambient light — designed for lit rooms, not just dark theaters.
You Want WUXGA Without 4K Cost
High-resolution buyer with PC and budget constraints
- You want sharper-than-1080p resolution but don't have a 4K-capable PC
- You value installation flexibility (lens shift, zoom) over native 4K
- You want HDR10, IP5X sealing, and 20,000-hour laser life at a sub-$4K price
Why this fits: WUXGA 1920×1200 + 5,500 lumens + full V/H lens shift at $3,999 — without the 4K premium you don't need.

What You're Actually Getting.
5,500 ANSI Lumens — Brightest In The Lineup
Golf simulation cameras require significant ambient light to capture and analyze ball-strike data accurately. The more light in the sim environment, the more light the projector needs to produce a clear, undiminished image. On screens wider than 13 feet, brightness drop-off at the edges becomes a serious problem for any projector under 5,000 lumens. The LU935ST's 5,500 ANSI lumens fills a 13-foot-plus impact screen with consistent, vivid projection that doesn't wash out under the lighting conditions real sim setups require.
WUXGA 1920×1200 — Sharper Than 1080p, Taller Than 16:9
WUXGA (1920×1200) delivers a sharper and taller image than standard 1080p. The native 16:10 aspect ratio provides 120 extra vertical pixels — practical in a simulator bay where the extra height gives a better view of the full shot, course terrain, and data overlays. HDR10 with BenQ's Auto HDR Color Rendition enhances brightness, contrast, and image depth for both simulation and cinema content. Sharper than 1080p without requiring a 4K-capable PC to drive it well.
Exclusive Golf Mode — Turf Greens, Sky Blues
The LU935ST uses a dual color wheel system covering 92% Rec.709, generating precise RGBY hues that single-wheel laser projectors can't match. BenQ's exclusive Golf Mode specifically corrects the purple fringing that can occur in laser projection — targeting the blue and green color profiles used in popular golf simulation software. Course colors render naturally: vivid greens that look like grass, blues that look like sky, no color cast that affects other laser projectors. Cinema, sRGB, and Vivid modes available for non-sim use, switched from the remote.
V/H Lens Shift + Zoom — Most Install Flexibility In The Lineup
Large H/V lens shift — up to ±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal — handles off-center mounting without physically repositioning the projector. Combined with 1.1× optical zoom, 2D keystone correction (±30° V & H), and Corner Fit individual-corner adjustment, the LU935ST adapts to virtually any ceiling mount geometry and produces a geometrically accurate image from any position. 360° installation supports ceiling, floor, portrait, and angled mounting configurations.
What Ships With The LU935ST
Projector, remote, install hardware, and the cables you need to get up and running. Lens is built-in — no separate lens purchase required.

Important: IP5X dustproof rating protects the optical engine — suited for high-traffic commercial use and dedicated sim rooms alike. The 1.1× zoom adds about 1 foot of adjustment flexibility on a 14-foot-wide screen, useful if your mounting position sits between two preferred installation points.
The LU935ST is a 15.4-pound ceiling-install or floor-mount projector with a 0.81–0.89 short throw ratio. Confirm your throw distance and mount before purchasing — call (833) 796-4777 and we'll walk through your room with you.
BenQ LU935ST Throw Distance By Screen Size.
Throw distance ranges for the LU935ST short throw WUXGA laser projector. The 1.1× zoom adds flexibility within these ranges — and the V/H lens shift handles vertical and horizontal alignment without physically moving the projector.
| Screen size | Min. distance | Max. distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120" | 7.1 ft (2.2m) | 7.8 ft (2.4m) | Minimum recommended for this projector |
| 130" | 7.7 ft (2.3m) | 8.4 ft (2.6m) | Good starting point for 5,500 lumens |
| 150" | 8.9 ft (2.7m) | 9.8 ft (3.0m) | Where this projector starts to shine |
| 170" | 10.1 ft (3.1m) | 11.1 ft (3.4m) | Ideal range for 5,500 lumens |
| 200" | 11.9 ft (3.6m) | 13.0 ft (4.0m) | Large-venue / commercial bay |
Based on 0.81–0.89 throw ratio × screen width (16:9). The 1.1× zoom adds roughly 1 foot of adjustment on a 14-foot-wide screen — useful if your mounting position falls between two preferred install points.

Picking between LU935ST, LK936ST, and LU895UST?
The LU935ST is the right choice if brightness matters most — large screen, lit room, big-venue install. The LK936ST ($4,899) trades 400 lumens for true 4K resolution and motorized lens shift with eARC Dolby Atmos — better for dual-purpose 4K sim + theater rooms. The LU895UST ($3,499) is the ultra-short-throw option — needed only when your room genuinely doesn't have throw distance for a standard short-throw projector. Call (833) 796-4777 and we'll walk through your specific use case.
