FAQ
Is Full HD enough for a home golf simulator?
For most home simulator setups, Full HD provides a clear, enjoyable picture for courses, practice views, and shot data. A 4K projector can add fine detail, but its benefit is most noticeable when your screen, room-light control, computer, and software can all support a 4K signal.
How bright should a golf simulator projector be?
Brightness matters more as ambient light increases. The GM560's 5,200 ANSI lumens are intended to provide a strong indoor picture, but reducing direct light on the impact screen remains the best way to protect contrast and color.
What should I measure before choosing a projector position?
Start with usable screen width and height, then measure the available distance from projector to screen. Account for ceiling height, safe swing clearance, power, cable routing, and any beams, lights, or fans that could affect mounting.
Will this projector work with a 4:3 simulator screen?
The GM560 uses a native 16:9 image and supports 4:3 content. When a wide image is shown on a narrower screen, you may crop the sides to fill the screen or preserve the full image with unused space above and below. Plan your screen ratio and computer output together before installation.
Can I ceiling-mount the GM560?
Yes. Ceiling mounting keeps the projector clear of the swing path and reduces shadows. Use a compatible mount, leave ventilation space around the unit, and install it with the lens facing the impact screen. Confirm the throw distance before fixing the mount in place.
What does four-corner correction do?
Four-corner correction lets you fine-tune each corner of the projected image when the projector cannot sit perfectly square to the screen. It is useful for small setup adjustments; for the sharpest result, begin with the projector as level and centered as your room allows.
How do I connect the projector to my simulator?
The GM560 includes two HDMI inputs for a simulator computer or other compatible source. Match the output resolution and aspect ratio of your computer or simulator software to the screen you are using, then make final image adjustments with the projector controls.
