Projector screens play an important role in golf simulators.
After all it is where you see all the gaming action and could impact the game
playing experience. There are various screen options available with simulators
such as flat screen with either 4:3 ratio or 16:19 or curved screen some
simulators also provide 3 screen options formed by placing 3 screens in a
curved manner so that it surrounds the player. Please note that just having a
particular screen will not work unless your simulator supports those formats.
Hence check the specifications before going for any particular screen.
A curved screen provides a wider view and hence you can view
more of the picture without moving your head much. This creates an immersive
environment which adds to the realism of the courses when it surrounds you. If
you are using a single projector then the image might be distorted at the
edges. Bogolf provides a feature in their simulator which allows you to adjust
the image according to the curved screen to eliminate any distortion. More
about it can be found here.
These screens do have some disadvantages when used for other purposes. The
problem is the viewing angle; people watching from sides do not get the perfect
picture due to less viewing angle. Since only one person is active while
playing golf the viewing angle won’t be a problem at all.
Ultimately the choice is personal. Some prefer flat while
some prefer round. So choose whichever is more comfortable and enjoyable to
you.
