BenQ AK700ST’s Easy DIY Setup and Transitions
Unlike traditional projectors that require complex installations and precise measurements, the BenQ AK700ST simplifies the process with just a few clicks on a unique remote control. It allows users to easily change aspect ratios with a single click, guaranteeing a seamless full-screen experience without the hassle of adjusting settings. Equipped with cutting-edge features such as a motorized lens and advanced sensors, it automatically detects the screen size, adjusts the zoom, corrects tilt, and delivers a perfectly focused image. Whether users are working on their golf swing or hosting a movie night, the AK700ST ensures full-screen 4K projections without the trouble of time-consuming transitions and setup.
The BenQ AK700ST’s short-throw lens and versatile zoom capabilities allow for safe installation away from the hitting area while preventing shadows on the screen, no matter the screen size. With an onboard camera and motorized zoom and focus, the projector quickly identifies the edges of the impact screen and adjusts the image automatically in seconds. It ensures a flawless setup every time, accommodating all standard screen sizes, including popular 1:1 aspect ratio screens often used in garage setups.
