Before choosing a projector, it helps to think about what matters most to you. Every golf simulator setup is different, and the best choice depends on your own priorities. Here are the key factors to keep in mind. Try ranking them from most to least important.

Do you want the sharpest possible image, or is Full HD enough for your practice sessions? Higher resolution makes your course more lifelike, helping you read fairways, greens, and ball flight with greater clarity. While it adds realism, resolution may not be the top priority for every golfer.

Will you also use the projector beyond golf simulation, such as watching movies, streaming sports, or gaming? If you need a model that works well across different scenarios, versatility should be part of your decision.

Most golfers prefer a projector that sets up with minimal effort. Getting the image to fully fill the screen can be one of the trickiest parts of setup, and features that simplify this process can save you a lot of time. Installation makes a big difference in how quickly you can start swinging.

How much depth does your room give you? If your hitting area is tight, throw distance becomes a critical factor. Choose the wrong model, and your image may never fit. Short-throw flexibility can make a small space workable, while larger rooms leave you with more placement options.

How much do you plan to invest in your golf simulator? Some projectors offer premium performance and features, while others focus on delivering the essentials at a lower cost.

Once you know your own ranking, it becomes much easier to see which projector best fits your setup.

Whether you’ve already considered your priorities or just want to see the options, here’s how the Ace series models fit different needs.

If resolution and versatility are at the top of your list, the AK700ST is the clear choice. As the only 4K model in the Ace series, it delivers sharp, lifelike detail that makes your virtual fairways and greens look true to life. Beyond golf, its 4K clarity and low input lag also make it ideal for movies, sports watching, and gaming.

The AK700ST includes Auto Screen Fit and Quick Focus for hassle-free installation, with 4000 ANSI lumens of laser brightness to keep images vivid even in brighter rooms. It’s designed for golf simulation as well as family entertainment, giving you one projector that covers every need.

If ease of installation is your top priority, the AH700ST is designed to save you time and effort. With Auto Screen Fit and Quick Focus, the projector aligns itself quickly so you can get a full image without extra effort. That means less time adjusting and more time practicing. For detailed instructions, please refer to this article.

While built for dedicated golf simulation, the AH700ST also handles movies, sports watching, and gaming in 1080p Full HD. With 4000 ANSI lumens of laser brightness and low input lag, it gives you reliable performance across different uses without complicating setup.

If your hitting area is limited, the AH500ST is built to make the most of it. With a short 0.5 throw ratio, it projects a large, immersive image even when placed close to the screen, and it also allows flexible placement such as floor-mounting in front of the hitting zone. This makes it a strong option for golfers setting up in compact rooms where every inch of depth matters.

Its Screen Fill feature automatically switches between 1:1, 4:3, 16:10, and 16:9 aspect ratios. This ensures the image fills the screen properly without the hassle of manually changing your PC or laptop’s graphics settings. For more details, please refer to this article. At 1080p resolution with 4000 ANSI lumens of laser brightness, it delivers clear, bright visuals that make your swing practice more engaging even in a compact room.

When practice is done, the AH500ST also works well for movies, sports watching, or gaming, giving you more ways to enjoy your space.

If budget is your top concern, the AH30ST and AW30ST are designed to give you a reliable way into golf simulation without overspending. Both models cover the essentials, delivering a bright and clear image that makes practicing at home enjoyable and effective.

They also include Screen Fill, making it easy to match different aspect ratios (1:1/4:3/16:10/16:9) without extra setup on your PC or laptop. The AH30ST offers 1080p resolution with 3000 ANSI lumens, while the AW30ST provides WXGA resolution with 3200 ANSI lumens. Both use a 4LED light source for long-lasting performance and lower maintenance.

Even as the most essential options, they’re still ready for entertainment, letting you have fun everywhere while giving you extra flexibility without increasing the cost.
