Golf Sim Mode
A PICTURE MODE BUILT FOR THE BAY
Optoma built a dedicated Golf Sim Mode into this model that adjusts color and contrast for simulator software on an impact screen. Fairways, greens and the ball in flight read clearly without hand tuning every setting.
16:10 WXGA
SHAPED FOR A SIM SCREEN
Golf impact screens run taller than a TV. A native 16:10 image fills more of that screen than a 16:9 projector at the same width, which means less wasted screen and a bigger picture of the shot.
1.2x Optical Zoom
MORE FREEDOM ON WHERE IT MOUNTS
The 0.72 to 0.86:1 zoom gives you a range of mount positions instead of one exact spot, which makes it far easier to work around joists, lights and garage door tracks.
Sealed 4LED Engine
NO LAMP, NO DUST, NO SLOW FADE
A lamp free 4LED light source rated for 30,000 hours in eco mode, inside an IP6X sealed optical engine that keeps garage dust off the optics.
From Our SimSquad
WHO THE LW352BST IS FOR
This is the sim first pick. A 16:10 picture that fills a golf screen, a zoom lens that makes mounting forgiving, a sealed engine for the garage, and a mode tuned for golf. It is WXGA, not 1080p, and on an impact screen that is a trade most golfers never notice. If the bay doubles as a movie room, take the LH352BST.
What is the Optoma LW352BST?
The LW352BST is a WXGA short throw projector with a lamp free 4LED light source, 3,500 lumens and a 0.72 to 0.86:1 throw with 1.2x optical zoom. It is part of Optoma's new golf sim focused 4LED line and adds a dedicated Golf Sim Mode.
A ten foot wide image needs roughly seven and a quarter to eight and a half feet of throw, with plus or minus 30 degree keystone and 360 degree mounting for real world installs.
Why Choose the Optoma LW352BST?
Straight framing: WXGA is a lower resolution than 1080p. On an impact screen, brightness, screen fill and a picture that is aimed correctly do more for the experience than pixel count, and this unit is built around those.
Choose the LW352BST for a sim first bay on a sensible budget, especially with a taller screen. Step up to the 1080p LH352BST if the bay also gets used for movies or games.

Frequently Asked Questions
The throw ratio is 0.72 to 0.86:1, so the lens sits roughly 0.72 to 0.86 times the image width from the screen. For a ten foot wide image that is about seven and a quarter to eight and a half feet. Send us your room depth and screen size and we will confirm it before you order.
For most sim first bays, yes. WXGA is 1280x800 in a 16:10 shape that suits a golf screen. If the room doubles as a media room, the 1080p LH352BST is the better pick.
