Transform your golf simulator and/or home theater with the BenQ AK700ST 4K projector. Setup is easier with Auto Screen Fit, vibrant 4,000-lumen brightness, and lifelike Golf Mode for an immersive experience. The short-throw lens eliminates shadows and keeps your swings smooth, while durable laser technology ensures years of stunning visuals without the upkeep.
BenQ AK700ST Features
Flexible Setup
With its short-throw lens, the AK700ST can be positioned safely behind the player, reducing shadow interference and minimizing the risk of damage. Supports screen sizes up to 200 inches with a 1.2x optical zoom for flexible placement.
Plus, warping capabilities make it easy to project onto a curved screen like Carl’s Curved Golf Enclosure.
Immersive, Long-Lasting Brightness
With 4,000 lumens, the projector delivers bright and clear images, even in well-lit rooms.
The laser light source offers up to 20,000 hours of operation, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Stay Focused
Adjust focus easily using the remote control without needing to access the projector directly.
How It Works
See It In Action
Is the BenQ AK700ST the best golf sim projector on a budget? See for yourself.
Setting Up
Placing the Projector
Mount or posiiton 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. Our C-Series screens don't quite play by those border rules, as the image goes all the way to the floor. Luckily, AutoFit still plays nice. Don't worry, we checked.
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.
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.
Let AutoFit Do It's 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 spect ratio.
Fine-Tune with Corner Fit
AutoFit gets your close, but not always perfect. After it runs, you'll get a screen to adjust the corners just right.

Mounting Considerations
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
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.
Enclosure Mount
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.
Floor Mount
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.
