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.

Ceiling Mount

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

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.

How It Works

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.

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.
