The World’s First AI Golf Projector
With the AK800ST, BenQ is bringing artificial intelligence to the world of golf simulation for the first time. The innovative BenQ AI Sim Sense technology combines intelligent image optimization with AI-powered setup to deliver an exceptionally realistic and immersive golfing experience.

An integrated APU (AI Processing Unit) analyzes and optimizes image content in real time to ensure that golf courses are rendered as authentically and naturally as possible—from lush fairways to the fine texture of the putting green.

AI-Optimized & AI-Assisted Features
AI-Optimized Image Quality
The AK800ST produces vibrant yet natural colors and reproduces the rich hues of a sunny golf course with impressive precision.

AI-Optimized Contrast
SDR content from launch monitors is optimized to HDR levels. Approximately 500,000 contrast zones ensure a realistic sense of depth and more precise distance estimation.

AI-Powered Image Scaling
Intelligent 4K upscaling reconstructs the finest details, such as individual blades of grass and mowing patterns, making virtual golf courses appear significantly more realistic.

AI-Optimized Noise Reduction
Image noise and distracting artifacts are reduced without losing important details. The result is a smooth, razor-sharp image free of flicker or aliasing.

AI Vision – Realistic Turf Surfaces
BenQ AI Vision reproduces the surfaces of real golf courses with exceptional authenticity—from the uniform texture of the tee to the fine grain of the putting green.

Smart Setup – Automatically Perfectly Adjusted
The AK800ST’s smart setup technology significantly simplifies installation and ensures precise image display on virtually any screen.

Automatic Screen Detection
TOF sensors, a built-in camera, and exclusive BenQ algorithms automatically detect the shape, size, and curvature of the screen and optimally adjust the image in just a few seconds.

Motorized Autofocus
With the push of a button, the AK800ST automatically adjusts to a crystal-clear 4K image—without any manual adjustments.

Automatic Light Adjustment
The built-in camera continuously analyzes ambient light and automatically adjusts colors and saturation to current lighting conditions.

Exclusive Golf Mode for Realistic Golf Courses
BenQ’s specially developed Golf Mode reproduces the natural colors of famous golf courses with exceptional authenticity. From the rich green hues of a links course to sun-bleached coastal bunkers, it creates a realistic playing experience just like on a real course.

HDR Golf & Impressive Depth Effect
The HDR Golf mode was developed specifically for high-quality golf simulations and golf broadcasts and maximizes contrast and color gamut.

Global Contrast Optimization
Optimizes the contrast of the entire image, creating a particularly vivid and cinematic display.
