Verified research
From the MSS study: what the sensor measures, what it costs to run, and what it needs from the room.
Budget LED short-throw for floor-mount golf sims - bright, lamp-free, but only WXGA detail
Why people buy
3,200 ANSI lumens lights impact screens in ambient light
0.72-0.87:1 short throw fits tight sim rooms
Sits behind the golfer - 100% offset, no ceiling mount
20,000-hour LED - zero lamp swaps or filters
Trade-offs
WXGA (1280x800) - lacks 1080p/4K detail
33.4 ms lag - fine for golf, mediocre for fast gaming
No lens shift - zoom + keystone alignment only
16:10 native; square sim screens need masking
The fine print
No lens shift - placement must be exact; keystone correction softens an already-WXGA image, so square the projector up physically instead.Specifications
