FAQ
Is the BenQ AH500ST compatible with popular golf simulator software?
Yes. The AH500ST features dual HDMI 2.0a inputs, making it compatible with the PCs and launch monitors used with leading golf simulator software platforms such as E6 Connect, TGC 2019, GSPro, and Awesome Golf. Always verify your simulator's recommended projector specifications before purchasing.
Do I need a completely dark room for the image to look good?
No. At 4,000 ANSI lumens, the AH500ST is bright enough to produce a clear, vivid image in rooms with some ambient light. While a darker room will always enhance contrast and color, this projector is well-suited to garages, basements, and spaces that aren't fully blacked out.
How close does the projector need to be to the screen?
The AH500ST is a short-throw projector, meaning it is designed to produce a large image from a relatively close distance. This makes it ideal for home simulator setups where ceiling height or room depth is limited. Consult the throw ratio specifications or BenQ's projection calculator to determine the exact placement for your desired screen size.
Will I ever need to replace a bulb?
No traditional bulb replacement is needed. The AH500ST uses a laser light source rated for up to 20,000 hours. At typical simulator usage, that translates to many years of use before any light source servicing would be needed.
Does the projector come with wireless capability built in?
Yes, the AH500ST supports instant wireless projection, allowing you to connect compatible devices without running cables. This helps keep your simulator space tidy and makes connecting devices quick and easy.
