Hi All,

I've never put the two of these together. It/they will go in as part of a basement finish. I'm just wondering what some best practices might be for doing this type of setup.

Customer was looking at BenQ LK936ST. Laser is great, but I see it's a short throw. That probably won't work / well in the sim environment?

Is there something I could do, with one projector, to be able to deal with the golf sim screen Plus a second motorized screen in front of it (for theater use)?

Any ideas for best placement on front stage (L/R/C)? Sub location? (Obviously I'm worried about crazy golf balls flying all over the place.)

Thanks,
Tom

Is this projector auto focus? If not, changing screens will become a chore.

Run 2 HDMI’s to the projector. I did one where we had the sim go through an avr and when they switched from a source back to the sim they would have to recalibrate the sim. Running a second hdmi fixed that. We just used the sim screen. The sim company uses Sony laser projectors, I don’t remember the model, but it has a different profiles to go from the 4:3 ratio for the sim to 16:9.

After some more digging through old threads on here and IP, I think I will offer the Epson LS12000 laser. It's the same price and the BenQ and more importantly it has lens memory so I should be able to do one setting for the golf sim as well as one setting for a recessed screen, then pop those options on a universal remote.

Speakers will probably have to be all in ceiling, with the fronts being angled/pointed models.

Any other thoughts???
