BenQ - AK700ST

I've had one since March. Not impressed with it. https://preview.redd.it/g7vyt7jvuyue1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=014f45e278b926ac14ee6bee7edb586d9b4798e5

Buy the 936, better brightness. The AK isn't nearly as good of a picture.

Looks like one of the Benq golf simulator short throws. Probably 5000-7000 lumen. They have to handle floor to ceiling screens with a relatively short throw distance for the screen size and throw lots of light because no one wants to practice golf in a light controlled room.

Honestly this is a tough question to ask because everyone has different degrees on what’s acceptable and what looks good. I tried several cheaper projectors from Amazon including one that is talked about here and I thought they were all 💩. I ended up buying a BenQ AK700ST and the difference is substantial. In the picture below my side door is open, allowing sunlight to fill the room and hit the screen. I run GS Pro at 4k Ultra with all setting maxed. If you don’t plan to use 4k, that makes things a lot cheaper. There are only a handful of projectors that really work for a golf sim, if you want there to be ambient light in the space. https://preview.redd.it/7t75gp47im4f1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45e644cf71b2cf38332f9962bac0947481c166c9

Dang they still haven’t shipped?? I have one but I was a tester. That’s nuts. Even mine was delayed 4 weeks

AK700ST - very good projector for $2500. Not sure how many ch you are looking to spend.
