1080p laser short-throw with an IP5X-sealed engine like the AK700ST's, but a fixed 0.499 throw ratio: a 10-ft-wide image from about 5 ft, or 100 inches from about 3.6 ft. Includes BenQ's Golf picture mode. The dedicated answer for low ceilings or shallow garage stalls that can't fit a 0.69-throw projector.

Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Space-Constrained
0.499 throw, among the tightest in BenQ's golf line (the LK830ST is 0.496): a 10-ft-wide image from about 5 ft, which suits a low or shallow room.
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Golf-dedicated laser features (Golf Mode, IP5X seal, 4,000 lumens) at $1,999 — strong dollar-per-feature when the room geometry needs the tight throw anyway.
Not for
- Showroom
1080p doesn't fit a showroom build; the LK936ST or AK700ST anchor that tier with 4K.
- Family Setup
Multi-use family rooms benefit from 4K (TK710STi) for movies and gaming; 1080p ceilings the experience.
- Performance Seeker
Performance personas with adequate room should choose 4K (AK700ST) for course detail at distance.

Room planner
See the BenQ AH500ST 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.
