BenQ LU960ST2 5200-Lumens WUXGA Short Throw Simulation Projector

The BenQ LU960ST2 is a high-brightness short throw laser projector purpose-built for professional golf simulator studios and premium home installations where space, image accuracy, and responsiveness are critical. Delivering 5200 lumens of brightness, it produces sharp, highly visible images on large impact screens while maintaining clarity in environments with ambient light.

Its ultra-short throw design allows the projector to be mounted close to the impact screen, making it ideal for confined simulator rooms. Extensive vertical and horizontal lens shift provides precise image alignment even when off-axis mounting is required. BenQ’s DLP laser technology delivers consistent colour performance and long-term reliability, supported by a sealed optical engine designed for extended operational life.

An exclusive Simulator Mode simplifies setup with pre-calibrated image settings, while Fast Mode delivers low-latency performance to support responsive, real-time simulator interaction. The LU960ST2 is engineered to meet the demands of high-use simulator environments where image quality, durability, and installation flexibility are essential.

• High-brightness laser projection for simulator studios
  Delivers up to 5200 ANSI lumens using advanced laser diode alignment technology, ensuring clear, high-contrast images on large impact screens, even in rooms with ambient light.
  
• IP5X-rated sealed optical engine
  Protects critical components including the DMD chip, colour wheel sensor, and laser module from dust ingress, extending operational life and reducing maintenance requirements.
  
• Exceptional DLP durability
  Hermetically sealed DLP chip with over two million micromirrors is engineered to withstand heat over extended use, maintaining image stability and performance in high-duty simulator environments.
  
• High contrast performance for dark scene accuracy
  DLP projection technology delivers strong contrast and shadow detail, improving depth perception and realism in simulated course environments.
  
• Exclusive Fast Mode for low-latency interaction
  Fast Mode reduces latency to as low as 16.67 ms at WUXGA 60Hz, supporting responsive, real-time feedback essential for accurate swing tracking and simulator realism.
  
• Short throw optics for confined spaces
  0.5 throw ratio allows large images up to 200 inches to be projected from close distances, enabling safe placement near the screen and minimising shadows in compact simulator rooms.
  
• Extensive lens shift for precise image alignment
  Vertical lens shift up to ±55% and horizontal lens shift up to ±23% allow accurate image placement without moving the projector, ideal for off-axis or challenging mounting positions.
  
• Dedicated Simulator Mode
  One-touch Simulator Mode activates pre-calibrated image presets optimised for golf simulation, simplifying setup and ensuring consistent visual performance.
  
• Professional-grade connectivity support
  Multiple input and signal options support high-resolution content, low-latency transmission, and flexible integration into simulator and AV systems.
  
• Designed for high-use simulator installations
  Built for durability, brightness stability, and long-term reliability, making it well suited for commercial studios, coaching facilities, and premium home golf simulators.
