In this video I’m reviewing the new BenQ AH500ST and the whole point is simple: it’s a golf sim projector that can throw a huge image from stupid-close range. If you’ve got a tighter room and you’ve been fighting throw distance, mounting options, or just trying to get an 8’ tall picture without putting the projector in your hitting zone, this is exactly the type of unit you should be looking at. I also walk through BenQ’s golf-sim-specific tools so you can stop guessing and actually plan your placement before you buy. I cover the practical stuff that matters in a DIY sim: where this projector makes sense compared to BenQ’s other popular sim models (LK936ST, AK700ST, AH700ST), what kind of setup it pairs well with (like a Carl’s C-Series enclosure), and the little add-ons that can make life easier—like BenQ’s wireless dongle if you’re trying to keep the install clean. My goal is always the same: get you a great-looking sim without overspending or buying the wrong gear for your room.
