BenQ LK954ST – 4K Short Throw Laser Projector for Golf Simulators
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.
Does the projector replace a golf simulator?
No. It displays the image from your setup. The impact screen, launch monitor, computer and simulation software are separate components to select for your installation.
Does the LK954ST have a Golf picture mode?
Yes. BenQ lists a dedicated Golf picture mode among the LK954ST picture presets.
What is the input lag?
BenQ lists 16.7 ms at 1080p/60Hz and 4K/60Hz, 8.3 ms at 1080p/120Hz and 4.2 ms at 1080p/240Hz.
Does it support optical lens shift?
Yes. Manual lens shift is ±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal.
Does it support HDBaseT?
Yes. The LK954ST includes an HDBaseT RJ45 video/audio input for professional AV installations.
Can it be installed in different orientations?
Yes. BenQ supports 360° installation and portrait projection.
Is a ceiling mount included?
No. BenQ lists the universal ceiling mount as an optional accessory.
