The BenQ LK954ST is a 4K UHD short throw laser projector built for simulation environments, including golf simulators. It combines 5,100 ANSI lumens, 4K UHD (3840 × 2160), a 0.81–0.89 throw ratio, optical zoom and extensive lens shift for flexible permanent installations.
💡 Higher Brightness & Flexible Installation
With a 0.81–0.89 short throw ratio, the LK954ST projects a 4-metre-wide 16:9 image from a theoretical distance of 3.24–3.56 metres. The manual 1.1× optical zoom helps fine-tune image size.
⛳ Golf Simulator Performance
- Golf picture mode for vivid grass and sky reproduction.
- 92% Rec.709 coverage for accurate colour reproduction.
- Fast Mode input lag: 16.7 ms at 1080p/60Hz and 4K/60Hz, 8.3 ms at 1080p/120Hz, and 4.2 ms at 1080p/240Hz.
- 3D Keystone + Corner Fit for flexible alignment.
- H/V lens shift helps position the image while preserving optical image quality.
🎯 Image Adjustment & Simulator Integration
Manual lens shift offers ±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal adjustment, helping position the image without moving the entire projector. HDBaseT and DisplayPort complement the two HDMI inputs for a range of audiovisual configurations.

📐 Planning Your Indoor Golf Installation
The distances above are estimates for a 16:9 image before digital correction. Check image dimensions, the aspect ratio of your impact screen and the clearance needed for a safe swing when choosing the mounting position. A 4:3 aspect ratio or keystone correction can change the usable image area.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Are zoom and focus motorised?
No. Zoom, focus and optical lens shift are adjusted manually on this model.
