BenQ LW600ST+ LED Golf Simulator Projector

The BenQ LW600ST+ is built for golf simulator spaces where mounting distance, shadows, and long-term upkeep matter. It pairs a short-throw lens with an LED light source, so you can fill a large impact screen from a shorter mounting position while keeping the projector safely out of the hitting zone. BenQ positions the model for “constrained spaces,” which is exactly what most home sim bays and multi-use rooms look like.

Brightness plays a major role in simulator clarity, especially when you keep some ambient light in the room. The LW600ST+ is rated at 3,200 ANSI lumens, and it uses a 4LED light source designed for consistent output over time. You avoid lamp replacement cycles, and you get a long rated light source life of 20,000 hours (Normal) or 30,000 hours (Eco). That combination supports a practical “set it and run it” setup for regular practice sessions.

For simulator visuals, placement flexibility matters as much as brightness. The LW600ST+ provides a 0.72–0.87 throw ratio and 1.2x manual zoom, which helps you fine-tune image size without forcing a complete remount if you adjust your enclosure depth. BenQ also includes geometry tools that help when the projector cannot sit perfectly centered. You get 2D keystone correction up to ±30° on both axes, plus Corner Fit control to align each corner and square the image to your screen. 

Resolution is often misunderstood in simulator buying. The LW600ST+ has a native WXGA resolution (1280×800), and it supports input signals up to Full HD (1920×1080). In practice, that means you can feed it a 1080p signal from your PC, while the projector scales to its native panel. That is a common and workable approach for sim software, where legibility, motion stability, and alignment often matter more than raw pixel count alone.

Responsiveness also affects the “feel” of play, especially in fast UI transitions and shot result rendering. BenQ lists an input lag of 33.4 ms at 1080p/60Hz for the LW600ST+. That spec supports smooth, consistent visuals for practice and play while keeping the system straightforward to integrate with typical simulator PCs and AV chains.

Color performance influences how natural greens, fairways, and sky gradients look on an impact screen. BenQ lists Rec.709 coverage at 94% for the LW600ST+ and emphasizes its LED-driven color performance for recreation and simulation use. This helps your course image look balanced instead of washed out, particularly when you prioritize realistic visuals over overly boosted “torch mode” color. 

The LW600ST+ also fits cleanly into a practical simulator build. It includes a 10W speaker for basic audio, and it provides common connectivity including two HDMI inputs, USB Type-A ports, and audio out for routing sound to external speakers if you prefer. It supports standard operating power ranges (AC 100–240V), which simplifies installation across typical home and commercial electrical setups.
