What Golf Sim Oracle checked on this listingThe counts above in full, and the limits of reading a listing

Golf Sim Oracle tracks the Optoma ZW350ST because it is among the best-selling projectors on Amazon, currently #393 in Video Projectors. According to the Amazon product page, read 18 August 2026, it sells for $823.45. That figure and the stock status come from the Amazon Product Advertising API and are refreshed every three hours, so neither is ever more than 24 hours old. The listing states a throw ratio of 0.521, which puts the lens 5.2 feet from a 10-foot screen. That multiplication is ours; the ratio is theirs. Golf Sim Oracle checks every listing in this category against four specifications that decide the purchase, and this one does not state lumens, measured to a standard, native resolution, inverted ceiling mounting. That is a fact about the listing rather than about the product: a seller who prints no figure has not told us the product lacks one. There is no sourced specification review on this page and there is not going to be one until there is a document to cite: the brands that lead this category publish no manuals or spec sheets, which is itself the reason these pages measure listings rather than restate them. Everything quoted below is the seller's own wording from the listing, read 18 August 2026, and it is a claim rather than a measurement anyone has checked. Golf Sim Oracle does not test equipment and does not claim to.

How this score is worked out

Optoma ZW350ST scores 7.0 out of 10 — fully documented. The score measures how much of what a buyer needs to decide is stated in this Amazon listing — 1 of 4 decision-grade specifications. There is no manufacturer specification sheet for this category to read, so the listing is what we can check. A listing that does not state something is not proof the product lacks it.

What this listing states

Checked against the specifications that decide a projector purchase.

Which decision-grade specifications this listing states
Specification	In this listing	Across the category
Throw ratio	Stated	6 of 14 listings
Lumens, measured to a standard	Brightness given without a standard, or not at all	5 of 14 listings
Native resolution	No native resolution stated	4 of 14 listings
Inverted ceiling mounting	Ceiling mounting not addressed	4 of 14 listings

“Stated” means the figure appears in the title or the bullets. It is not a verification, and an absence is a fact about the listing rather than the product.

How it compares with the rest of the category

Worked out from the 14 projectors Golf Sim Oracle tracks, at the moment you load the page.

On price. At $823.45 this is the 8th cheapest of the 14 projectors carrying a live price today, against a category median of $676.72. Amazon moves these prices, so the ranking is read fresh every three hours rather than written down.

On what it tells you. The listing states one of the four specifications we check for in this category. It gives a throw ratio, which only 6 of 14 listings here do.

It does not print lumens, measured to a standard. 5 of 14 listings in this category state it.
It does not print native resolution. 4 of 14 listings in this category state it.
It does not print inverted ceiling mounting. 4 of 14 listings in this category state it.

Every figure here is counted from the listings themselves. A listing that stays quiet about a specification has told us nothing about the product behind it, and we are not treating silence as a fault.

What the listing claims

Quoted from the Amazon listing, read 18 August 2026. These are the seller’s words, not our measurements.

“SHORT THROW = BIG SCREEN IN TIGHT SPACES (0.52:1 THROW) – Create a large image from a short distance (0.521:1 throw ratio; projection distance 0.3m–3.4m), ideal for classrooms, golf sim bays, meeting rooms, and smaller installs.”
“BRIGHT WXGA LASER (3,600 LUMENS) – High brightness for clear, punchy visuals with ambient light; WXGA (1280×800) is great for presentations and signage content.”
“MAINTENANCE-FREE DURACORE LASER (UP TO 30,000 HOURS) – Long-life laser light source designed for continuous use with less upkeep vs. lamp projectors.”
“BUILT FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS (IP6X + 24/7 + 360°) – IP6X dust-resistant rating plus support for 24/7 and 360° operation for commercial/education installs.”
“EASY CONNECTIVITY + REAL AUDIO (DUAL HDMI + 15W SPEAKER) – 2× HDMI (1.4a with 3D support), USB-A power (1.5A) for streaming sticks, RJ45/RS232 control, and a built-in 15W speaker for room-ready sound.”

What this listing does not tell you

Lumens, measured to a standard. ANSI and ISO lumens are measured to a published method. An unqualified "lumens" figure is not, and the two differ by a factor of two or three on the same projector.
Native resolution. A projector that accepts a 4K signal and shows it at 1280x800 is sold as 4K. Native resolution is the one that reaches the screen.
Inverted ceiling mounting. A simulator projector hangs upside down above the hitting area. Not every unit has the keystone range or the mount points for it.

It does state throw ratio, which is more than most of the category manages.
