What type of projector is best for a golf simulator?

A short throw projector with at least 1080p resolution, 4000+ lumens brightness, and low input lag is recommended. 4K laser projectors offer the best image quality and long lifespan.

Why is a short throw projector recommended for golf simulators?

Short throw projectors create a large image from a shorter distance, reducing shadows caused by the golfer standing between the projector and the screen.

How many lumens does a golf simulator projector need?

For golf simulators, at least 4000 lumens is recommended, while 5000+ lumens is ideal for brighter rooms or larger impact screens.

Should I choose a lamp-based or laser golf simulator projector?

Laser projectors are highly recommended due to instant on/off, lower heat, eco-friendliness, and 20,000–30,000 hour lifespan compared to traditional lamp models.
