A 1080p laser short throw built around brightness: 5,000 ANSI lumens from a fixed 0.5 lens (a 100-inch image from about 3.6 ft, per BenQ's manual), a 105% offset, and a laser rated 20,000 hours in normal mode and 30,000 in eco. BenQ sells it through its US golf-simulator site and lists input lag of 16.7 ms at 1080p/60Hz. We passed on it twice in 2026 because the ZK431ST-B is 4K at a similar throw for $600 less. It is in the catalog because brightness is the one thing it does better: in a tight room with daylight, 5,000 ANSI lumens at a 0.5 throw is hard to find in a cabinet this size. Anywhere else, 4K is the better use of $2,399.

Room planner
See the BenQ LH860ST 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.
