BenQ LU935 6000 Lumens Normal Throw Laser Golf Simulator Projector

BenQ LU935:  

Purpose-built for high-end golf simulator studios, the BenQ LU935 pairs 6000 ANSI lumens with BenQ’s BlueCore laser and Golf Picture Mode to deliver bright, color-accurate visuals that hold up in ambient light. With a 1.36–2.18 throw ratio and large H/V lens shift (±60% vertical, ±23% horizontal), it’s easy to mount behind the golfer and dial in a perfect image on 16:10 or 16:9 impact screens.

A hermetically sealed DLP chip and IP5X DustGuard Pro optical engine offer durable, low-maintenance performance for 20,000 hours. The LU935 also adds HDBaseT, dual HDMI 2.0a (HDCP 2.2), and 3D sync for flexible installs—plus a resolution switch if you want native 1080p for 16:9.

Key Features

• 6000 ANSI Lumens + BlueCore Laser – Punchy brightness and stable color for simulator bays with ambient light.

• Normal-Throw for Behind-Golfer Mounts – 1.36–2.18 throw ratio fits ceiling installs behind the tee line.

FAQ

Q: Is the LU935 good for ceiling-mounting behind the golfer?
A: Yes. Its 1.36–2.18 throw and generous lens shift make behind-golfer installs straightforward.

Q: Can I output 16:9 natively for a 1080p impact screen?
A: Yes. Use the display resolution switch to change from WUXGA to 1080p (16:9).

Q: How does it handle dusty garages or studios?
A: The IP5X DustGuard Pro optical engine helps reduce maintenance and protect critical components.

Q: Will it be bright enough with some ambient light?
A: With 6000 lumens, it’s designed to stay vivid on simulator screens even in brighter rooms.

Q: What about latency for golf sim software?
A: Input lag is about 33 ms at 1080p/60, which is well-suited for golf simulation use.

Installation

Install Tips (LU935)

• Measure lens-to-screen: Mount distance = image width × throw ratio. For LU935, throw = 1.36–2.18.

• Use lens shift first: Keep the projector level and square to the screen, then dial in ±60% V / ±23% H lens shift. Use keystone only for fine touch-ups.

• Match your aspect: Native is 16:10 (WUXGA); if your impact screen is 16:9, use the LU935’s resolution switch to 1080p for perfect fill.

• Cable runs: For long distances, use HDBaseT (preferred) or active/fiber HDMI.

• Brightness & gain: At 6000 lm, a matte screen (gain ~1.0) is ideal in ambient light; dim the room for best contrast.

• Vent & dust: Leave airflow clearance; DustGuard Pro helps, but avoid enclosed cabinets.

Quick Throw-Distance Examples (Lens to Screen)

16:10 (WUXGA) examples

• 10 ft W × 6.25 ft H (~142" diag) → 13.6–21.8 ft

• 12 ft W × 7.5 ft H (~170" diag) → 16.3–26.2 ft

• 13 ft W × 8.125 ft H (~184" diag) → 17.7–28.3 ft

• 14 ft W × 8.75 ft H (~198" diag) → 19.0–30.5 ft

16:9 (1080p) examples (using resolution switch)

• 10 ft W × 5.63 ft H (~138" diag) → 13.6–21.8 ft

• 12 ft W × 6.75 ft H (~165" diag) → 16.3–26.2 ft

• 13 ft W × 7.31 ft H (~179" diag) → 17.7–28.3 ft

Tip: Mount within the middle of the throw range for easier focusing and uniform brightness.
