Background

Established in 2017, the ViewScreen Golf Center is a premier indoor golf facility in Changwon, South Korea. It offers golf enthusiasts a dedicated space equipped with cutting-edge golf simulators for practice sessions that closely simulate real-life golf experiences. Drawing an average of 1,000 customers each month, ViewScreen is committed to providing an immersive golfing experience.

Challenge

Achieving a high-quality image with vibrant and vivid color plays a significant role in enhancing the overall golfing experience. Hence, ViewScreen incorporated 3LCD lamp projectors in each room to closely simulate real-life golf practice experiences. However, over time, these projectors began to develop a color decay issue, causing the images to turn yellowish. The poor image quality led to customer dissatisfaction, resulting in numerous complaints.

Moreover, the screen golf center operates for long hours, leading to a significant issue with their current 3LCD lamp projectors. The lamp-based design of these projectors causes the image’s brightness to deteriorate after three years of use, requiring frequent lamp replacements. Frequent lamp replacement is not only time-consuming but also costly. Such necessary maintenance tasks can result in unavoidable downtime, significantly increasing operational costs and negatively impacting operational efficiency.

In addition to the declining image performance over time, 3LCD projectors also required air filters to prevent dust from entering the engine. Accumulated dust on these filters hindered heat dissipation, causing the fan speed to accelerate and noise levels to increase. Therefore, the regular cleaning or replacement of these filters was necessary, adding additional cost and stress to maintenance.

The 3LCD projectors began to develop a color decay issue over time, causing the images to turn yellowish.

Solution

ViewScreen decided to replace their existing projectors with the more advanced and sustainable ViewSonic’s LS740HD laser projector. With its impressive 5,000 ANSI Lumens brightness and 1080p full HD resolution, the LS740HD ensures that every detail is crisp and vivid, perfectly displaying lifelike colors of grass and sky essential for an immersive golf simulation.

The LS740HD utilizes DLP technology, addressing color decay issues and ensuring long-lasting color performance.

The LS740HD boasts 5,000AL brightness and 1080p resolution, perfectly displaying lifelike colors for an immersive golf simulation.

Result

ViewScreen has taken its golfing experience to new heights with the ViewSonic projectors, bringing to life visuals so vibrant and colors so vivid that practice sessions feel as if you’re in the golf course. This improvement in quality has not only made customers happier but also attracted more visitors.

The switch to lamp-free projector also improved ViewScreen’s operational efficiency, simplifying maintenance by removing the need for lamp replacements, thereby cutting down on maintenance time and costs. Moreover, the sealed engine design of the projectors ensures deeper game immersion by eliminating annoying fan noise and dust accumulation without the need for air filters. This results in a cooler, quieter, and more focused environment for players. This upgrade offers immediate and long-term benefits to both ViewScreen and its customers, improving the overall experience for everyone.

Background

In 2025, Korean indoor golf brand Friends Screen entered the Taiwan market, driven by the surging popularity of indoor golf in Korea and its own growing market value. By opening its first venue in the heart of Taipei, the company set out to recreate its premium indoor golf experience for local golf enthusiasts, corporate groups, and social gatherings.

Challenge

Recreating a lifelike golf experience in a bright and open venue presented new challenges for Friends Screen. The Taiwan location features strong ambient light that makes it difficult to maintain image clarity and color depth across wide projection areas.​

Installation was equally demanding, with limited ceiling height that required exact mounting angles to optimize space and visual alignment. ​

In addition, Friends Screen needed a reliable, low-maintenance solution for extended daily operation. The Taipei location wanted a setup that provides balanced long-term stability, energy efficiency, and consistent performance to deliver a premium experience for hobbyists and business clients alike.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, Friends Screen partnered with ViewSonic to deploy a customized projection solution for immersive indoor golf simulation. Across its VIP rooms and hitting bays, the company integrated ViewSonic’s LS740HD laser projectors, selected for their high brightness, vivid color performance, and reliable operation in high ambient light environments. ​

Delivering 5,000 ANSI lumens and high native contrast, the ViewSonic LS740HD keeps visuals crisp and realistic even under strong ambient light. Its dedicated Golf Mode enhances turf tones and green textures and brings each course to life with natural visual depth and clarity. ​

Compact and adaptable, the ViewSonic LS740HD supports 1.3x optical zoom, 360-degree projection, and H/V keystone correction that enables precise alignment in areas with limited ceiling height and floor space. This flexibility simplified installation while preserving visual consistency across simulator bays.​

Built with third generation laser technology, the ViewSonic LS740HD delivers improved energy efficiency and a 30,000-hour light source lifespan. Its DLP-based, filter-free optical engine with an IP6X dustproof rating ensures stable color performance and long-term reliability to minimize maintenance and downtime during continuous daily operation.

Result

With the new projection system, Friends Screen Taiwan recreated its signature indoor golf experience in a bright, open venue. Now complete, the installation delivers vivid, consistent visuals across every simulator bay to give players a realistic and engaging experience throughout the day. Reliable performance and low maintenance operation allow the venue to serve customers smoothly with near zero downtime. The setup reduces operational costs and improves overall efficiency. Its main result is a premium indoor golf destination that enhances customer experience and reinforces Friends Screen’s brand presence in Taiwan’s growing golf simulation market. ​
