Here is a comparison table of the golf simulator projectors on the market that we believe could be suitable for your home setup.
Please look at the specifications and product pages carefully. You can browse our articles explaining each feature to learn more.
I’ve included only short throw projectors and those with ample brightness and resolution to show premium golf simulator software in all it’s glory.
All of these projectors can be bought for under $2000. Most can be found a lot cheaper than that.
