BenQ AH500ST 4000 Lumen Short Throw 1080P Laser Golf Projector AH500ST-001

Description

A 4,000-Lumen Laser Projector for Compact Simulator Rooms

The BenQ AH500ST is a 1080p laser projector with a 0.499 short-throw ratio, so it produces a full-size image from very close to the screen. That makes it a strong match for smaller simulator rooms where a standard projector won't fit, and it works mounted on the ceiling or on the floor. With 4,000 ANSI lumens and a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, the picture stays bright and detailed whether the lights are on or off. Dedicated remote hotkeys handle Screen Fill (1:1, 4:3, 16:10 or 16:9) and Quick Focus, taking most of the trial and error out of installation. An IP5X dust-sealed engine means no filters to replace, and the laser light source is rated for 20,000 hours in normal mode.
