Full Review
The BenQ LK936ST is designed specifically for sports simulation and gaming. The ST in the name stands for short throw. Where a standard projector like the Epson LS12000B needs 12-15 feet of throw distance, the LK936ST can project a large image from 7-8 feet. This matters enormously in golf simulator builds where ceiling height and room depth are often tight. At 5100 lumens it is significantly brighter than most simulators need, which means the image stays vivid even with ambient light. The 4K resolution and laser light source are standard features at this price.

If your room is tight (under 14 feet deep) and you need a quality projector, the BenQ LK936ST is the right call. The short throw solves the depth problem and the 5100 lumens means you do not need blackout curtains to get a good image.
