We do not just sell boxes -- we help you build the sim room you have been planning. Common Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is WUXGA resolution and how does it compare to 1080p? WUXGA is 1920x1200 -- the same width as 1080p but with 200 additional vertical pixels. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides about 11% more viewable area than 16:9. For golf simulators, this extra vertical space shows more of the course and data overlays without cropping. Do I need 5,000 lumens for my simulator? If your room is fully dark during use, 3,500 lumens is sufficient. You benefit from 5,000 lumens if: your room has windows or ambient light, you are projecting on a screen larger than 120 inches, you want to play with some overhead lighting on, or you run a commercial facility where brightness impacts customer experience. What is lens shift and why does it matter? Lens shift physically moves the projection lens to reposition the image without moving the projector body. Unlike digital keystone correction (which reduces resolution), lens shift preserves every pixel for a sharper image. It makes installation easier because the projector does not need to be perfectly centered on the screen. What is HDBaseT? HDBaseT transmits uncompressed video, audio, and control signals over a single CAT6 ethernet cable up to 328 feet. For golf simulators, this means you can place your sim PC in a separate room or equipment closet and run one cable to the projector instead of dealing with long HDMI runs (which max out at about 50 feet without repeaters). What is express advance replacement? During the first year, if your projector has a warranty issue, Optoma ships you a replacement unit before you return the defective one. This eliminates downtime -- critical for commercial operators. After year one, standard warranty repair applies for the remaining two years. Can I use the ZU507TST with any golf simulator software? Yes. Connects via HDMI and works with GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, Creative Golf 3D, Awesome Golf, and more. Does the ZU507TST have Golf Sim mode? Yes. Dedicated Golf Sim picture mode optimizes color grading for simulator graphics. How long does the DuraCore laser last? 30,000 hours. At 4 hours daily, over 20 years. No bulb replacements, no maintenance. Does Top Shelf Golf offer financing for the ZU507TST? Yes. Financing through Affirm with flexible monthly payments. Select Affirm at checkout. What is the warranty and return policy? The ZU507TST includes a 3-Year Limited Warranty on parts and labor with first-year express advance replacement, plus a 5-Year or 12,000-hour laser warranty (whichever comes first).
