BenQ Expands Simulation-Ready Short Throw Lineup – Trendy Gadget

As the traditional projector market slows, BenQ is doubling down on immersive and simulation-driven applications. With four new purpose-built models – LU895UST, LH860ST, LK830ST, and LW830ST – the company is expanding its leadership in short throw projectors engineered specifically for golf simulators, projection mapping, and experiential environments. Rather than repurposing conference room hardware, BenQ is building systems tailored to real-world immersive installations.

Designed for environments where geometry precision, flexible aspect ratios, and accurate color reproduction are critical, the new lineup emphasizes color accuracy and commercial-grade reliability. Across museums, sports simulators, immersive rooms, and advanced training facilities, the demand for distortion-free visuals and simplified setup continues to grow — and BenQ’s latest models are positioned to meet those challenges directly.

LU895UST: Ultra Short Throw for Immersive Installations

The LU895UST is a purpose-built ultra short throw laser projector optimized for immersive commercial spaces such as museums, themed attractions, and projection mapping installations. Its compact design allows installation in tight spaces while delivering large-format visuals with precise geometry control.

Built for continuous operation, the LU895UST offers 24/7 durability and blending-ready capabilities, making it suitable for multi-projector environments where seamless image integration is essential. The model will be available in March for $3,499.

LH860ST: High-Brightness Performance for Golf Simulators

The LH860ST targets golf and sports simulation environments with a 0.5 throw ratio and higher brightness than many competing short throw models in its category. Its lower optical offset helps reduce shadow interference, a common issue in close-range projection setups.

Engineered for immersive simulator bays and training applications, the LH860ST balances high brightness with accurate color performance, ensuring realistic rendering even in spaces with ambient light. It is available now for $2,399.

LK830ST: 4K Resolution for High-Detail Simulation

The LK830ST expands the lineup with 4K resolution support, designed for golf simulators and other high-resolution environments that demand enhanced visual detail. Updated firmware improves color precision and image clarity for more lifelike simulation experiences.

Maintaining a 0.5 throw ratio, the LK830ST is optimized for versatile deployment in commercial simulation spaces. The projector is currently available at $2,499.

LW830ST and Screen Fill™ Technology

The LW830ST is positioned as a value-driven short throw solution for interactive playgrounds, edutainment spaces, and sensory rooms. Its compact form factor and seamless multi-projector blending capabilities make it ideal for creative installations.

Across all four models, BenQ integrates its proprietary Screen Fill™ technology. Unlike traditional projectors limited to standard 16:9 formats, Screen Fill allows users to select custom and common aspect ratios such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, and ultra-wide formats directly from the projector menu. The system automatically adjusts output and communicates proper display settings to connected devices, minimizing manual recalibration and external scaling requirements.

This feature significantly reduces installation time while ensuring pixel-accurate, distortion-free images in curved walls, simulator bays, and non-standard screen surfaces. As immersive projection continues to grow across experiential design and simulation markets, BenQ is reinforcing its position with hardware engineered for modern deployment realities. The full lineup is available through authorized retailers and on BenQ, with pricing starting at $1,599 and reaching $3,499 depending on the model.
