How do you pick between short throw projectors like the BenQ 936ST and 700ST for a golf simulator?

Name: BenQ LK936ST 4K UHD Golf Projector
Brand: Benq
SKU: benq-lk936st-config
Price: 4899 USD
Availability: InStock

Pick based on mounting location, lumens, and throw ratio, not the model name. Measure your exact screen size and hitting stance distance first, then run those numbers through a projector throw calculator to see which units actually fit your ceiling height and mount position. The BenQ 936ST throws 0.61 versus the AK700ST's 0.81, but the 936ST adds vertical and horizontal lens offset for more mounting flexibility. A 16x9 screen works fine with either despite official ratings capping lower.
