AH700ST
Builders who want the BenQ golf-projector experience and would rather spend the 4K premium on the launch monitor, screen, or mat.
The value golf-specific BenQ projector: a 4,000 ANSI-lumen short-throw laser unit with native 1080p resolution, 0.69-0.83 throw ratio, Auto Screen Fit, and Golf Mode color tuning. It is the sensible pick when brightness, fast setup, and shadow-free placement matter more than paying for 4K pixels.
Worth buying for the right builder, but read the warnings before it lands in your cart.
Known caution: Native 1080p, so very large screens will not look as crisp as 4KIgnitionSim is reader-supported.
