Optoma ZK521ST-B

A 5,000-lumen 4K laser model with a 0.79 throw ratio and vertical lens shift.

The Optoma ZK521ST-B adds brightness and vertical lens shift to a 4K simulator-focused projector. Its 0.79 throw ratio needs more lens distance than the fixed 0.496 models, while the vertical shift supports more flexible height alignment. GOLFJOY checks both values against the room and screen.

Room fit comes first

Check These Details Before You Order.

Product specifications describe the item. Your room, related components and installation plan decide whether the setup works.

Allow for the Longer 0.79 Throw Ratio

This model generally sits farther from the screen than a 0.496 projector at the same image width. Confirm that the lens remains outside the player's swing and shadow path.

Lens Shift Is Vertical

Do not assume horizontal lens shift. Plan left-to-right alignment carefully, then use the listed vertical shift for height adjustment.
