BenQ's LED short throw for golf: 1080p, 3,000 ANSI lumens, a 4LED light source rated 20,000 hours in normal mode and 30,000 in eco, a 1.2x zoom (0.69–0.83 throw, a 100-inch image about 5.0 to 6.0 ft from the screen, from the ratio) and a 102.5% offset. There is no optical lens shift; the 'Digital Lens Shift' in its menu moves the picture within the panel. At $1,499 it is the least expensive 1080p model in BenQ's US golf lineup. Optoma's LH352BST has the same zoom range, a higher brightness rating (3,300 lumens to ISO 21118, against BenQ's 3,000 ANSI) and a golf picture mode for $999, so the AH30ST is mainly a pick for someone who wants BenQ.

Room planner

See the BenQ AH30ST in your sim room.

The planner draws it to scale with your room and your screen: where it mounts, how far the lens sits from the screen, and whether your swing or your shadow crosses the light. It opens in a sample room; put in yours.
