Display resolution refers to the number of pixels projected on the screen. Higher resolutions provide sharper, more detailed visuals - critical for immersive golf simulation. This article outlines the most common resolution types used in Trackman setups and their ideal use cases.
Common Resolutions for Simulators
- 720p (HD)
- Resolution: 1280 × 720
- Entry-level resolution. Suitable for small screens or basic setups. Not recommended for premium simulator experiences.
- 1080p (Full HD)
- Resolution: 1920 × 1080
- Recommended standard. Offers clear visuals and smooth performance. Ideal for most Trackman simulator environments.
- Scaled 4K (Faux-K or Pixel-Shifting)
- Resolution: Simulated 4K using pixel-shifting on a lower-resolution base (e.g., 1920 × 1080 or 2716 × 1528)
- Delivers enhanced detail without requiring a true 4K projector. Cost-effective and visually impressive.
- True 4K (Native 4K)
- Resolution: 3840 × 2160 or 4096 × 2160
- Highest fidelity. Requires both a 4K projector and a 4K-capable PC monitor. Best for premium installations.
