Love my new bay play everyday
Currently have this mounted on the floor. But looking to move it up to the ceiling. Works really well.
Adding the projector and the protective cover has taken my practice setup in my garage to new level. The projector brightness is great. I don't have to swing in a dark room to see the results on the screen.
The Optoma GT2000HDR Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector does exactly as advertised! It's easy to set up and delivers more than enough light during a room-lighted golf simulator swing session. I use it daily with my iPad Pro and an HDMI to USB-C adapter. The quality is great and there is no noticeable lag! This is hands-down a no-brainer!
Working well have the project offsite from swing path keystone and corner adjustments are great. I have my in a protective cage and picture in perfect. We even watch movies and sports. Highly recommend!!!
It lived up to everything I was told.
Great picture
Plenty bright for my 8ft high 16/10 screen. Note: it was easy to set my Nvidia desktop gpu (I imagine amd and intel desktop gpu cards have this as well), through the “control panel”, to the exact 16/10 resolution of 3456x2160 then my apps, like gspro, had that as a selectable resolution. It has great tools to adjust the shape and size of the image to perfectly adjust to fit the screen borders. I didn’t notice much (any?) impact to image quality using those image adjust features features. I tried to mount the projector perfectly so I didn’t have to use any image adjustments but decided as a short throw projector I would not be able to do that as tiny mounting changes had major image impacts.
Excellent service. Received earlier than expected. Exact product that I was looking for. Great company. Thank you.
My garage sim leaks a lot of daylight. Originally I had picked up a 3000 lumen 1080p Optoma but it just didn’t cut it. So happy I upgraded. The graphics are outstanding and the extra brightness means I can use it during the day and get a great picture. The unit does run hot, especially with the protective cover, so I added a floor fan nearby to keep the air moving. 10/10 would buy again.
Optoma 4K400STx Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector
Store owner replied: Hi Stacy - Please check out our floor mount cover for the projector, it has a built in fan. If you want to get our ProGuard cover, you won't have to use an external fan to cool down the projector. https://topshelfgolf.com/products/proguard-short-throw-projector-floor-mount
Great quality picture and tons of fun!
thank you Blake for recommending the Optoma EH412ST it has a great picture easy setup and works great love it
Picture is clear and bright - great purchase.
Great picture.
Great experience. I had some questions about the various resolution options for this 4k projector in different image formats (primarily 4:3), and an actual human answered the phone and told me everything I needed to know. I ordered the projector and it shipped ASAP. Could not be happier with the upgrade. I went from the Optoma EH200ST to the 4k400stx. In 4:3, its about 3 times the pixel density and 30% brighter. My sim is now at 2880:2160 at 60 frames on Ultra settings in GSPRO. The difference coming from 1600:1200 is very noticeable. The throw ratios were the same, so I was able to use the current projector mount with no issues. It does take quite a gaming rig to run this. I am using a GTX 3080TI, and it works flawlessly. Guessing you could go to a slightly lower card, but not much, if you want a 4k gaming experience with a stable framerate. Would certainly by from them again.
The ZH406STx works great and is easy to setup. Support was great when I had questions and were very fast with a response. I used the side shift availability to maximize the space and it works great. The shipping was fast.
Optoma ZH406STx Short Throw Golf Simulator (Laser) Projector
I use the projector for my in home golf simulator. Set up was a snap. The adjustments are all done very easily on the remote control.
Great projector. Really glad we upgraded to this model
Great quality picture. Very easy to use.
Perfect for our garage.
Does the job. Wish to screen came out any more square picture. Whether on the ground or mounted to the ceiling, the edges taper down or up. Would prefer aWish the screen came out in a more square picture. Whether on the ground or mounted to the ceiling, the edges taper, down or up. Would prefer a nice square picture to fit the screen perfectly.
Optoma EH412STx Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector
Store owner replied: Hi Peter, you can either move the projector to about 5' away from the screen to cover the horizontal screen area at 4:3 aspect ratio with a smaller picture size or if you want to keep the projector where it is now, you can go to NVidia control panel and create a custom display resolution with reduced width so that the projected image doesn't violate the borders of the screen on left and right.
Great projection and works both for golf and can be hooked up to another source for movie night or sports on a giant screen! I have it hooked into an amplifier and speakers which enhances the golf and the movie capabilities! Highly recommended👍!
Optoma ZH406STx Short Throw Golf Simulator (Laser) Projector
I got so excited to use the bay and projector, I hooked it up a little early! It works great, mount coming soon.
I Love the set up, having a blast
I ordered the Skytrak Perfect Bay golf simulator package, everything showed up within about a week and we couldn’t be any happier with it. The entire family enjoys playing on the system and it has really made the extra garage a new addition to the home. I’m very hopeful that this equipment can slowly help improve my game which is in serious need for improvement. Thank you to everyone at Top Shelf Golf, James Snyder
When setting up your projector Be sure and use customer service to help you out if you have any issues.
Just what I ordered works great thank you
We think it is fantastic! It fits great in our garage. can't say enough good things.
Projector works well and makes a nice image on the 8.5' x 11.5' screen. Installation was easy and any adjustments were simple using the remote and instructions.
As for the projector this thing works great- colors and sound. the fact i do not need a speaker set up and can hear the sound above my head is fantastic- i couldn’t be happier with the product.
Very good quality projector!
We love SkyTrak golf setup. Our whole family enjoys using it!
