Room planner
See each one in your sim room.
The planner draws each unit to scale with your room and your swing: where it mounts, the throw it needs, and whether your shadow crosses the light. Put in your room once, then switch units in the planner to compare.

Better for AH700ST
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Golf-dedicated features at $2,299 — best dollar-per-feature for builders who don't have the GPU to push 4K.
- Recreational Player
Set-and-forget polish (Auto Screen Fit, motorized zoom, Golf Mode) without needing a GPU that can drive 4K.
Better for UHZ35ST
- Performance Seeker
Low input lag (about 17 ms at 4K/60, level with the TK710STi) and a 30,000-hour laser. At 3,500 lumens it is dimmer than the GT3900UHD and ZK431ST-B, which both cost less.
- Space-Constrained
0.496 fixed throw — a 100-inch image from about 3.6 ft — fits tight rooms; same throw geometry as the GT2400HDR and AH500ST but in 4K.
Both fit
