What are the Best Projectors for the Uneekor Eye Mini in a Home Golf Simulator?

For those looking to use the Uneekor Eye Mini in a garage or smaller size area in a room, the most efficient use of space is a square aspect ratio impact screen and enclosure, so the screen that is high enough to ensure mishits don’t go through the ceiling. In most cases, you will want a “short throw” model to ensure that the projector can be placed where it doesn’t create any shadows. 

While the $800 BenQ LW500ST, is the most popular budget golf simulator projector used for a 16:10 screen aspect ratio, the most advanced golf simulator projector for the Uneekor Eye Mini model is the $1899 BenQ LH820ST. This model uses a dustproof sealed laser lighting instead of a lamp, so it will last for 30,000 hours and doesn’t require filter cleaning like generic projectors. 

Uneekor Mini Eye players will appreciate the fact that it has the most realistic color of any golf simulation projector under $1000 – which creates a spectacular picture when playing a course using Uneekor’s Refine or Refine+ simulator software.

If you are looking to use the Uneekor Eye Mini in a medium-sized space similar to the videos from the PGA show, you will want a projector that has a wide aspect ratio and an immersive picture that draws you into the screen when practicing or competing. There are two very advanced golf simulator projectors that are ideal for the Uneekor Eye Mini setups on wide aspect impact screens. 

If you can control the light in your simulation area, you will want to look at a 3600-lumen projector that will be able to support the next-generation 4K Refine+ software that Uneekor showcased at the PGA show. The LH820ST is a full HD projector with a short throw lens with 90% Rec.709 color accuracy and fast mode to ensure smooth dynamic images and realistic experiences. 

 If you need a brighter projector, then you will want to look at a ceiling-mounted short-throw laser projector like the BenQ LU935ST.   You can mount this model from as close as 13 feet away – and up high enough to keep it away from the hitting area.

According to a national survey of golf simulator buyers, over 70% would like to use their simulator setups for home entertainment such as watching TV or movies. Once you have a PC connected to your Uneekor Eye Mini, a few clicks of your mouse can enable you to watch The Masters live in 4K resolution, The Short Game on Netflix 4K, or engage in family gaming with an Xbox.  

The most popular projector for a SimTheater is the $4899 LK936ST short throw 4K laser projector. This unit is designed specifically for golf simulation/home theater use with HDR support, Rec. 709 color, and a whopping 5000 lumens of brightness to enable you to keep the lights on in the room.
