Placement & Shadows

How far from the screen should the AK700ST be mounted?

Thanks to its highly flexible short-throw lens with a 0.69 to 0.83 throw ratio and 1.2x optical zoom, you can place the projector safely behind the golfer’s swing path.

• To fill a standard 10-foot to 15-foot wide impact screen, the projector is typically positioned 10 to 13 feet away.
• This keeps the unit safely out of your swing zone while maximizing the screen size without losing image quality.

Will I cast a shadow onto the screen when I swing?

No. Because of the short-throw geometry, the AK700ST is positioned safely behind the player. As long as it is mounted at our recommended distance (roughly 1 to 3 feet behind the hitting area, with the golfer hitting 10 to 13 feet from the screen), your body and club will stay completely out of the light beam, keeping the screen shadow-free.

Setup & Screen Adjustment

What is "Auto Screen Fit" and how does it work?

"Auto Screen Fit" is BenQ's push-button automatic calibration feature. It uses an integrated camera to automatically detect your impact screen’s borders and perfectly scales the image to match standard aspect ratios like 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, or 1:1.

⚠️ Note: To use Auto Screen Fit, your impact screen must have a dark or black border of at least 2.5 inches (6 cm) for the camera to accurately register the screen edges.

Can I use the AK700ST with a curved impact screen?

Yes. The AK700ST supports built-in image warping (with grid matrices up to 24x15) specifically designed to wrap the projection seamlessly around curved enclosures.

• Please note: Once curved warping is enabled, advanced flat-screen features like Auto Screen Fit, Corner Fit, and Auto Keystone are disabled. You will need to make manual focus and positioning adjustments.

Brightness & Image Quality

Is 4,000 ANSI Lumens bright enough for a garage or room with the lights on?

Absolutely. Traditional projectors wash out unless you are in a pitch-black room. With 4,000 ANSI Lumens paired with a deep 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, the AK700ST produces an incredibly bright, punchy image that holds its own in garages, well-lit basements, or environments with ambient overhead lighting. You won't need blackout curtains to see your ball flight.

What makes "Golf Mode" different from a standard projector's picture settings?

Standard home theater or office projectors tend to oversaturate colors, making virtual turf look muddy or neon-green. BenQ’s exclusive, custom-calibrated Golf Mode optimizes the color profile (utilizing 95% of the Rec. 709 color space) to accurately render natural turf textures, grass blades, and clear skies. It matches real-world golf courses perfectly, providing a massive boost in visual immersion.

Hardware & Durability

Is the AK700ST durable enough for garage temperatures and dust?

Yes, it is built exactly for that. It features an IP5X-certified dustproof sealed engine. Because the optical engine is entirely sealed, dust, pollen, and debris cannot settle on the lens or laser—meaning you never have to replace filters, and it can operate reliably in harsh conditions ranging from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).

Will my swings feel laggy? What is the input lag?

For golf simulator software, input lag matters, you want to see the ball take off the second it hits the screen. The AK700ST boasts incredibly fast response times:

• 16.7 ms at 1080p @ 120Hz
• 33.4 ms at True 4K @ 60Hz
  This guarantees real-time, responsive feedback on your drives, chips, and putts.

How long will the projector's light source last?

The AK700ST uses a highly efficient laser light engine that guarantees up to 20,000+ hours of maintenance-free life. This eliminates the hassle and ongoing costs of buying expensive replacement lamp bulbs.
