👍 Why people buy

✓ 4000 ANSI lumens punches through ambient light on sim screens
✓ 0.499:1 short throw fits compact, low-ceiling golf rooms
✓ 20,000-hour laser source — zero lamp replacements
✓ 16.7ms input lag at 1080p/120Hz for responsive sim play

⚠️ Trade-offs

• No lens shift — mount placement must be exact
• Fixed lens, no zoom — throw distance sets image size
• 33.4ms lag at 60Hz; needs a 120Hz source for best feel
• 35 dB in normal mode — audible in quiet rooms
📋 The fine print
No lens shift or zoom: the 0.499:1 throw and fixed 112% offset dictate exact mount placement — measure before drilling. Some retailers list 8.3ms lag; BenQ's official spec is 16.7ms (1080p/120Hz).
