Whether you’re building your dream home simulator or upgrading your current setup, BenQ’s latest golf projectors are raising the bar for performance and ease of use. Purpose-built for golf simulation, the new AK700ST and AH700ST projectors are here to deliver outstanding visuals, smooth setup, and unbeatable value.
Let’s take a look at what sets these two models apart — and why either one could be the ideal addition to your sim space.
Effortless Setup with AutoFit Technology
One of the standout features on both the AK700ST and AH700ST is BenQ’s AutoFit technology. Using a built-in front-facing camera, the projector automatically detects your screen area and aligns the image without the need for manual keystone corrections or fiddly adjustments.
- No more hours spent tweaking settings — AutoFit handles:
- Screen size detection
- Automatic scaling
- Image centring and alignment
- Trapezoid correction to eliminate distortion
- Whether your screen is mounted perfectly or slightly off-angle, AutoFit gets the picture locked in and squared up within seconds. For installers and DIY users alike, this feature is a massive time saver and ensures a clean, professional-looking result every time.
The AK700ST – 4K Detail That Changes the Game
The BenQ AK700ST is the flagship model, designed for golfers who demand the ultimate visual experience. Boasting true 4K UHD resolution (8.3 million pixels), this projector brings every course to life with incredible clarity and realism. From textured greens to distant hazards, you’ll see every detail like never before.
- Native 4K UHD (3840 x 2160)
- Short throw lens – ideal for sim rooms with limited space
- Auto image calibration via built-in camera
- Bright and clear even in ambient light
- Anti-reflection and optimised for impact screens
- This is the projector of choice for commercial sims, teaching bays, or high-end home setups.
The AH700ST – All the Essentials, Less to Spend
- Don’t need 4K? The AH700ST packs in many of the same pro features at more of an affordable price, with a crisp Full HD 1080p resolution that still looks fantastic on an impact screen.
- Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080)
- Same short throw design as the AK700ST
- Built-in auto alignment camera for quick setup
- Great brightness and colour performance
- Perfect for home use or budget-conscious builds
- It’s the ideal choice for golfers who want a high-quality experience without stretching the budget.
Why Short Throw Is Crucial for Sim Rooms
Golf simulators often live in tight spaces — garages, spare rooms, basements — where every inch counts. That’s why short throw projection is so important.
- The AK700ST and AH700ST both feature a short throw ratio of 0.77, meaning they can produce a large image from a short distance. For example:
- You can project a 4-metre wide image from just around 3 metres away
- No need to place it on the ceiling 5+ metres back like with standard projectors
Short throw setups help avoid:
- Ceiling clutter from long HDMI or power runs
- Shadow casting when standing over the ball
- Tripping hazards from floor-mounted units behind the hitting zone
- This design makes them ideal for golf sims with limited room depth, where image quality and practicality need to go hand in hand.
What Both Models Have in Common
Both projectors are:
- Built specifically for golf simulation
- Designed to work perfectly with impact screens
- Equipped with a built-in camera for auto image fitting
- Fully compatible with all major launch monitors
