BenQ LU710 4000-Lumen WUXGA Laser Golf Simulator Projector
The BenQ LU710 is a 4,000-lumen WUXGA laser projector purpose-built for rooms with real depth. At $1,699, it delivers 1920x1200 resolution, a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a standard 1.13-1.46:1 throw ratio -- the only non-short-throw projector in our golf simulator lineup.
If your sim room has 12+ feet behind the hitting area, the LU710 turns that extra space into a competitive advantage. No specialized short-throw mount required. No ultra-precise positioning. Just bright, sharp, dust-proof laser projection that fills your screen from a comfortable distance -- and at $300-$1,200 less than every short-throw laser in the lineup.
Why the LU710 Fits Your Sim Room
Standard Throw Advantage
1.13-1.46:1 throw ratio with 1.3x zoom. Mount on the ceiling or a shelf behind you -- no specialized short-throw bracket required. Simpler install, easier alignment.
4,000 Lumens Laser
BlueCore laser rated for 20,000 hours. No bulb changes, no brightness fade. Bright enough for rooms with windows, overhead lights, and mixed ambient conditions.
WUXGA Resolution
1920x1200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio. 120 more vertical pixels than 1080p gives extra screen real estate for data overlays, swing metrics, and flight trackers.
IP5X Dust Protection
Sealed optical engine meets IP5X dust-proofing. Keeps internal components clean in garage bays, basements, and workshop environments where dust is unavoidable.
92% Rec. 709 Color
Dual color wheel system delivers cinema-grade color accuracy. Fairways, greens, and sky tones render true to life with 1.07 billion displayable colors.
Best-Value Laser
At $1,699, it is the most affordable laser projector in our golf simulator lineup. Full laser reliability and dust protection at a price point that makes sense for any build.
Throw Distance by Screen Width
The LU710's 1.13-1.46:1 throw ratio means you need real room depth. Measure from the lens to your impact screen. The 1.3x optical zoom gives you flexibility within each range -- no need to nail the exact distance.
Formula: throw distance = throw ratio x screen width. Use the 1.3x zoom to adjust within the range after mounting.
Is the LU710 Right for Your Build?
Large Sim Room or Garage Bay
You have 15+ feet of total room depth. The LU710 projects from behind the hitting area, keeping the projector completely out of your swing zone. No shadows, no interference.
Budget-Conscious Laser Build
You want laser reliability (no bulbs, 20,000-hour life, IP5X dust protection) without paying $2,000+. The LU710 is the most affordable laser projector in our golf sim lineup.
Simple Installation Priority
Standard-throw projectors are easier to install than short-throw models. Less sensitive to alignment, no specialized mount needed, and you can use a basic ceiling bracket or shelf.
Commercial or Teaching Studio
Facilities with high ceilings and deep bays benefit from the LU710's throw flexibility. 4,000 lumens stays bright in commercial lighting, and laser life handles 8+ hours of daily use.
Multi-Use Entertainment Room
Your sim room doubles as a theater or gaming space. WUXGA resolution and 3,000,000:1 contrast deliver sharp visuals for movies, sports, and gaming on top of sim use.
Upgrading from a Lamp Projector
Your current projector is dimming or eating through bulbs. The LU710's laser source eliminates replacements entirely -- 20,000 hours of consistent brightness with zero maintenance.
Deep blacks. Vivid greens. Every fairway contour, every data overlay, every grain of sand trap detail rendered with clarity. The LU710's DLP laser engine produces an image quality that punches well above its $1,699 price.

Get the Most Out of Your LU710
Five tips to get a perfect image from day one.
Ceiling Mount or Shelf
Mount the LU710 on the ceiling behind the hitting area or on a high shelf. A standard universal ceiling bracket works perfectly -- no specialized short-throw mount needed.
Measure Your Throw Distance
Before mounting, measure from the planned projector position to your impact screen. Confirm the distance falls within the 1.13-1.46:1 range for your screen width.
Use Zoom Before Keystone
The 1.3x optical zoom adjusts image size without quality loss. Get as close as possible with zoom first, then use 2D keystone and Corner Fit only for final fine-tuning.
Connect via HDMI
Two HDMI 1.4a ports let you run your sim PC and a streaming device simultaneously. Use a quality high-speed HDMI cable (included in box) for the best signal.
Pair with Quality Enclosure
A good enclosure and impact screen makes a measurable difference in image quality. ALR screen material maximizes the LU710's 4,000 lumens.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The BenQ LU710 is a standard-throw projector with a 1.13-1.46:1 throw ratio and 1.3x zoom. For a 10-foot-wide impact screen, you need approximately 11-15 feet of throw distance. This makes it ideal for larger simulator rooms where you have depth behind the hitting area. The trade-off is worth it: simpler installation, easier alignment, and a lower price than any short-throw laser in our lineup.
Throw distance depends on your screen width. For a 10-foot-wide screen: 11.3 to 14.6 feet. For a 12-foot-wide screen: 13.6 to 17.5 feet. For a 14-foot-wide screen: 15.8 to 20.4 feet. The 1.3x optical zoom gives you flexibility within each range, so you do not need to hit an exact distance.
Yes. At 4,000 ANSI lumens, the LU710 is one of the brightest projectors in our golf simulator lineup. It handles rooms with overhead lighting, basement windows, and mixed ambient light conditions without washing out the image. For optimal contrast, reduce direct light hitting the impact screen.
WUXGA is 1920x1200 pixels with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Compared to standard 1080p (1920x1080, 16:9), WUXGA provides 120 additional vertical pixels and a slightly taller image. This extra height is useful for golf simulator software that displays data overlays, swing metrics, or ball flight paths above and below the course view.
No. The LU710 does not include a dedicated Golf Mode. It offers Bright, Presentation, sRGB, Video, Infographic, 3D, and two User-configurable picture modes. The sRGB mode delivers accurate color reproduction for simulator graphics, and the User modes let you dial in brightness, contrast, and color temperature to match your room conditions.
The LU710 uses a BlueCore laser light source rated for 20,000 hours. At 4 hours of daily use, that is over 13 years of operation with no bulb replacements. The laser maintains consistent brightness and color throughout its lifespan, unlike lamp-based projectors that dim over time.
No. The LU710 does not have mechanical lens shift. It includes 2D keystone correction (vertical and horizontal, each plus or minus 30 degrees) and Corner Fit adjustment. For best image quality, physically center the projector relative to the screen and use minimal digital correction.
Yes. The LU710 connects via HDMI and works with any PC-based simulator software including GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, Creative Golf 3D, Awesome Golf, and more. It is a display device -- compatible with any launch monitor or simulator system that outputs HDMI.
If your room has the depth (15+ feet total), the LU710 offers several advantages. Standard-throw projectors are simpler to install -- a basic universal ceiling mount works, no specialized bracket needed. They are easier to align, produce sharper images with less geometric distortion, and cost less. The LU710 at $1,699 is $300-$1,200 less than any short-throw laser in our lineup. The only requirement is room depth.
BenQ provides a 3-year limited warranty covering parts, labor, and the laser light source. Top Shelf Golf is an authorized BenQ dealer, so your warranty is fully backed. See our return policy for return and exchange details.
We ship the LU710 free via FedEx. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days when in stock. The projector ships in BenQ's original packaging with remote control, power cord, HDMI cable, and quick start guide included.
Yes. The LU710 includes two 10W speakers. For a dedicated sim room, an external sound system delivers a significantly better audio experience, but the built-in speakers are fine for setup, testing, and casual use.
As an authorized BenQ dealer, every projector purchased from Top Shelf Golf comes with BenQ's 3-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty covering the projector and laser light source under standard terms. If anything goes wrong, BenQ covers it directly.
