Once your launch monitor and screen are sorted, the projector is what makes a home sim feel real. The BenQ LK936ST is a popular short-throw laser choice because it can fill a full-width impact screen from close range — so you’re not casting a shadow across your own shot.

Why short throw

In a normal-length room, a standard projector would either throw too small an image or put you right in the light path. A short-throw unit mounts close to the screen and still fills it, which is exactly what a golf bay needs.

Where it fits

Best suited to a dedicated bay with a full impact screen. Running a tighter or cheaper setup? Start with our small-room guide.

Pros
  • Short throw fills a big screen from close up — you won't stand in the beam
  • 4K laser image is bright and sharp, with a long-life light source
  • Fast enough response for responsive simulator play
Cons
  • A premium price versus 1080p short-throw options
  • Overkill for small screens or budget builds
  • Ceiling mounting adds install effort
