What you’ll often see in “competitor” projectors

• Lower brightness (many models fall into the 3,000-5,000 lumen range) — e.g., for home golf simulation some short-throw models are only 4,000 lumens.

• Less premium throw ratios — some require more distance to achieve large images.

• Fewer advanced features in installation flexibility (less lens shift, manual focus, limited correction tools).

• Potentially less optimized for simulation use (which requires minimal shadow and wide screen size in compact space).

Why the PT-VMZ6STU7 stands out for golf simulation / compact environments

• Its 6,200 lumens ensures the image remains bright even in ambient light or partially lit garages.

• The 0.8:1 (approx) throw ratio allows you to place the projector closer to the screen, reducing shadow from players or equipment — a key advantage in a golf simulator space.

• The installation flexibility (power focus, lens shift) means you can mount in less-than-ideal angles or spaces and still get a clean, aligned image.

• While many projectors are optimized for classrooms or cinemas, this unit is explicitly suited for simulator spaces / tight rooms.

• Superb combination of high performance + short throw + simulation-ready features makes it a strong choice vs many general-purpose projectors.
