BenQ AK700ST 4K Short Throw Laser Golf Simulator Projector

The BenQ AK700ST is a purpose-built golf simulator projector delivering true 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) with HDR10/HLG support. Designed from the ground up for indoor golf simulation, it produces 4000 lumens of laser-powered brightness and features BenQ’s exclusive Auto Screen Fit technology for effortless setup across multiple aspect ratios. Whether you’re practising your swing, watching a film, streaming live sport, or gaming, the AK700ST handles it all from a single, compact unit.

BenQ has worked directly with top course designers to faithfully recreate the fine grain of different grasses, shifting cloudscapes, flickering water hazards and sand traps, so every swing feels like you’re on the actual course. With Golf Mode enabled, the projector’s colour processing is optimised to reproduce the organic hues of fairways, rough, bunkers and lakes exactly as the designer intended.

Auto Screen Fit Technology

The AK700ST’s Auto Screen Fit automatically detects and adjusts to your impact screen’s aspect ratio โ€” supporting 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and 1:1 โ€” perfectly filling the entire screen while maintaining optimal resolution. Switch between golf simulation and home cinema at the press of a single button, with no need to manually adjust graphic card settings or recalculate projector positioning. This makes the AK700ST ideal for multi-purpose golf simulator rooms that double as entertainment spaces.

Short Throw Lens for Safe Swings

With a short throw ratio of 0.69โ€“0.83 and 102.5% low offset, the AK700ST can be positioned safely behind the golfer โ€” keeping it well out of the swing path and away from pop-up or rebound shots. This eliminates shadows on the impact screen and removes any risk of projector damage during play. The 1.2x optical zoom provides further flexibility, letting you fine-tune image size from 60 to 200 inches without moving the unit.

Cinematic 4K Detail & Colour

True 4K resolution with 8.3 million pixels reveals every detail of the golf course terrain and grass, enhancing texture richness across every fairway, green and bunker. The 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 4000 lumens of laser brightness ensure vivid, detailed visuals even on a massive 200-inch screen โ€” whether the lights are on or off. HDR10/HLG support adds further depth to darker scenes for film and sport viewing.

BenQ’s exclusive Golf Mode tailors colour processing for different course environments, ensuring the most famous courses in the world look exactly as their designers intended โ€” from lush green fairways to golden sand traps and deep blue water hazards.

Built to Last

The AK700ST’s laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation, eliminating the cost and hassle of lamp replacements. The IP5X dustproof sealed engine operates reliably in temperatures from 0โ€“40ยฐC, making it ideal for garage, basement and outbuilding simulator installations where conditions can vary. At just 3.4kg, it’s lightweight enough for ceiling mounting and compact enough to fit into tight spaces.

Low Input Lag & Connectivity

With input lag as low as 8.4ms at 1080p/240Hz (16.7ms at 1080p/120Hz, 33.4ms at 4K/60Hz), the AK700ST syncs seamlessly with all major launch monitors and golf simulator software. Dual HDMI 2.0b ports, USB-A and USB-C connections, RS232 control, and HDMI eARC with 7.1 channel audio return provide comprehensive connectivity for any setup. An optional Wi-Fi dongle enables wireless 1080p projection from mobile devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BenQ AK700ST suitable for a golf simulator?
Yes โ€” the AK700ST is purpose-built for golf simulation. It features BenQ’s exclusive Golf Mode for accurate course colour reproduction, Auto Screen Fit for seamless aspect ratio switching, and a short throw lens that keeps the projector safely behind the golfer. It’s compatible with all major launch monitors and golf simulator software including GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019 and more.
How far does the projector need to be from the screen?
With a throw ratio of 0.69โ€“0.83, the AK700ST can project a large image from a short distance. For example, a 120-inch image can be achieved from approximately 1.8โ€“2.2 metres. This short throw design keeps the projector behind the golfer and out of the swing path, eliminating shadows and protecting the unit from stray shots.
Can I use this projector for movies and gaming too?
Absolutely. The AK700ST is designed as a multi-purpose projector. With true 4K resolution, HDR10/HLG support, and input lag as low as 8.4ms, it delivers an excellent experience for movies, live sport and gaming. Auto Screen Fit lets you switch between golf simulation and 16:9 entertainment content at the press of a button.
How long does the laser light source last?
The laser light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation. At typical home use of 3โ€“4 hours per day, that equates to over 13 years of maintenance-free use with no lamp replacements required.
Does the AK700ST support wireless projection?
Yes, with an optional BenQ WiFi dongle (EZC5201BS), the AK700ST supports wireless 1080p 16:9 projection from mobile devices, tablets and laptops. For golf simulation and 4K content, a wired HDMI connection is recommended for the best performance and lowest latency.
Can I use a curved impact screen with this projector?
Yes. The AK700ST supports image warping for curved screens with four selectable matrix options (5×3, 10×5, 15×9 and 24×15). This allows you to create an immersive wraparound golf simulation experience with accurate image geometry on curved impact screens.
