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.

Honest persona fit, side by side.

Better for LH860ST

  • Space-Constrained

    5,000 ANSI lumens from a 0.5 throw in a 13.5-inch cabinet: the bright answer for a tight room that cannot be fully darkened.

Better for TK710STi

  • Recreational Player

    True 4K with laser life and HDR — the courses look genuinely impressive and the projector lasts the life of the room.

  • Performance Seeker

    16.7ms input lag at 4K is well under the 30ms tolerance threshold; 95% Rec. 709 color and laser stability support serious data review.

  • Family Setup

    4.2 ms gaming lag at 1080p/240Hz makes this a legitimately great gaming projector in addition to a sim and movie projector — best multi-use mid pick.
