I have a limited amount of space for my golf sim like yourself. I can use all my irons and some of my fairway clubs but definitely can’t use my driver. I have both a standard and short throw project but still I can’t fill the entire screen with either on my skytrak set up. I have tried all kinds of links with little to no success. It’s playable but a little disappointing ! Projector selection is still something I haven’t mastered , all though it’s not gc quad or track man quality it does make it feel a little arcade gaming . 🤷♂️
Great info mate thanks for this ! . I would say that a 1080 projector would be fine for most people projecting onto an impact screen , 4k would be better for if using for home theatre as well. what do you reckon ?
Thanks for this video. Love the channel it’s inspired me and I’m currently self building my own enclosure in my garage. I’m looking at my projector now so this has been invaluable esp the horizontal keystone tip! 👍
Good tips Midge thank you ⛳️
VERY helpful video. Many things I hadn’t considered. Thanks, Mitch! Loving the channel as always.
Awesome video mate, answered a lot of questions for me and exactly what I needed at this stage of my simulator build. 👍
Thanks for this
Where do you get the image at 4:35 ? Seems like this is perfect to calculate if there would be a shadow or not!
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Great video. Quite helpful.
what is aspect ratio? Ive seen some at 16/10 and a buddy bought one that was 4/3
Can not seem to get nvidia to add custom resolution any ideas?
Fantastic breakdown of all things sim projectors. I particularly enjoyed the Projector Central Throw Calculator link🔥
Such a good video mate! Appreciate you much.
Very helpful just from a projector standard even with out the golf part. Very good bro
Interesting video. Unfortunately I have a room with sloping roof. Now I want to change my actual optima short throw projetor which stands on the ground to a place aside, that does not bother me within the swing. Can you say something, where to position projectors in sloping roof rooms? Projector Benq LK953ST could be a great thing. Kind Regards Michael
Hi question, am I able to use a projector that only goes to 4:3 aspect ratio to fill a 1:1 aspect ratio screen? If so, do I just make adjustments in GPU custom resolution? My screen is 7×7.
What a great resource. Best info yet!
I went with the benq tk700sti. Will that work well with my 15 x 10 screen?? In my garage that will be dark and has dark walls.
Thanks for the video man. All info with no bs.
Any optoma 350zh users??
Awesome video again! Thanks much, all the videos will come in handy when I design my simulator!
What about on the floor projectors? Or tripod mounted? I've built a garden golf studio with a retractable roof, so I can't have a ceiling mounted projector. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for making the video!
Nice video! Projectors can be expensive and the make or break factor of a golf sim!
