BenQ LU710 for a Golf Simulator: Throw Distance & Mounting Guide
BenQ · 1920x1200 · 4000 lumens · Laser · 33 ms lag · Updated June 2026
The BenQ LU710 has a 1.13–1.47 throw ratio, which means it needs 14′ 6″ to 18′ 10″ of distance to fill a standard 8-foot-tall 16:10 impact screen. As a standard-throw unit it mounts at or behind the hitting area, so confirm your head stays out of the beam before committing — the calculator below checks this automatically.
Throw distance by screen size
Lens-to-screen distance for common impact-screen heights (16:10 aspect).
| Screen height (16:10) | Image width | Lens-to-screen distance |
|---|---|---|
| 7 ft | 11.2 ft | 12′ 8″ – 16′ 6″ |
| 7.5 ft | 12.0 ft | 13′ 7″ – 17′ 8″ |
| 8 ft | 12.8 ft | 14′ 6″ – 18′ 10″ |
| 8.5 ft | 13.6 ft | 15′ 4″ – 20′ 0″ |
| 9 ft | 14.4 ft | 16′ 3″ – 21′ 2″ |
Ceiling mount & lens drop
With a 115% vertical offset, in a 9 ft room a 7.5 ft screen would push the lens above the ceiling — lower the screen or use a model with lens shift; in a 10 ft room a 8 ft screen would push the lens above the ceiling — lower the screen or use a model with lens shift. Match your ceiling mount's drop length to that number — fixed 6″ drop mounts are often too long for high-offset short throws, which hangs the image below the screen.
Room depth check
Budget about 24 ft of total room depth for the BenQ LU710: maximum throw of 18′ 10″ to an 8 ft screen, plus 10–12 ft of ball-to-screen distance and swing room. Behind-ball radar launch monitors add a further 7–9 ft behind the ball.
Frequently asked questions
How far should the BenQ LU710 be from a golf simulator screen?
For an 8 ft tall 16:10 impact screen (12.8 ft wide), the BenQ LU710's 1.13–1.47 throw ratio puts the lens 14′ 6″ to 18′ 10″ from the screen. Measure from the front of the lens, not the back of the chassis.
Is the BenQ LU710 good for a golf simulator?
BenQ LU710 is a standard throw wuxga laser model with 4000 lumens and 33 ms input lag. Its standard throw needs a deeper room so the golfer stands behind the projector — check shadow clearance in the calculator.
What room depth do I need for the BenQ LU710?
Plan on roughly 24 ft minimum: 18′ 10″ of throw to an 8 ft screen plus ball-flight and stance space. Radar launch monitors push the comfortable minimum higher — verify your exact layout in the free calculator.
