BenQ's AH700ST has auto-sensing technology that corrects and calibrates the screen with the press of a button. Made for golf simulators, this projector simplifies setup for flexible mounting.
BenQ AH700ST Features
Easy Installation
Automatically detects your golf screen edges and projects to standard aspect ratios (16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and 1:1) with one-button setup. For non-standard ratios, a quick tweak via your graphic card settings is all it takes.
Fantastic Picture Quality
With 4000 lumens of brightness and 95% Rec. 709 color accuracy, this laser projector will not have a problem producing stunning visuals. Enjoy up to 20,000 hours of light source life, reducing costs associated with lamp replacements and maintenance costs.
Mounting Flexibility
The short throw lets you install in a safe and shadow-free location for your swing. Plus, the professional-grade motorized lens with 1.2x optical zoom lets you easily adjust the screen size without reinstalling, maintaining perfect picture quality.
The AH700ST is capable of projecting wirelessly from any device, with the purchase of a separate dongle.
Garage Tough
Built to withstand tough environments, the AH700ST’s IP5X dustproof sealed engine operates reliably in temperatures from 32-104°F, eliminating the need for regular filter replacements.
AutoFit
BenQ’s AutoFit feature is super handy - it can tweak the image size, focus, and alignment to match your screen. However, you still need to place your projector so the image roughly fills your screen before you hit that AutoFit button.
How It Works
What does Carl's Place Think?
Setting Up
1. Placing the Projector
Mount or position your projector so the image is bigger than your screen on all sides. Yep, make it overflow a little, BenQ recommends a screen border of at least 2.4" around your screen. Now our C-Series screens don’t quite play by those border rules - the image goes all the way to the floor. Luckily, AutoFit still plays nice. We checked.
2. Firing It Up
When you turn on your projector for the first time (or after a factory reset), you’ll get a pop-up to start AutoFit. Press OK.
3. Tweaking the Position
You’ll see a pattern on your screen. This is your cue to adjust the projector’s distance, tilt, and zoom so the pattern fits nicely inside the borders of your screen.
4. Let Autofit Do Its Thing
Once that pattern is sitting inside your screen, press OK again. The projector will then automatically adjust the image to fit your screen’s size and aspect ratio.
5. Fine-tune with Corner Fit
AutoFit gets you close, but not always perfect. After it runs, you’ll get a screen to adjust the corners just right.

Projector Mounting Considerations
Creating the ultimate golf simulator experience starts with dialing in the perfect projector placement. But not every mounting option suits every room layout. Explore these popular mounting choices to find the best fit for your space.
Mount a Projector Flush to the Ceiling
Mounting your projector flush to the ceiling is a popular choice for golf simulators. It stays clear of your swing path and helps minimize shadows, making for a cleaner setup.
Drop Mount a Projector
For high ceilings or precise height adjustments, drop mounting is an ideal solution. This setup allows you to lower your projector to the perfect height, ensuring an optimal view for your simulator.
Mount a Projector to an Enclosure
For a sturdy, streamlined setup, consider mounting your projector directly to the frame of a Carl's Place Pro Enclosure. This method provides solid support, extra protection, and a sleek, clean appearance.
Protect a Projector on the Floor
Sometimes, placing your projector on the floor is the easiest option for a golf simulator setup. A floor enclosure will keep it protected, allowing you to swing with confidence and peace of mind.
