BenQTK710 4K Laser 3200 Lumens Movie and Gaming Projector with 4ms Response Time | 240Hz Refresh Rate | HDR10 & HLG | ARC/eARC Support | Vertical Lens Shift | 3D Keystone | 1.3x Zoom | HDR Game Modes

*Update* I talked with BenQ after I returned the previous projector and they suspected it was defective. They informed me that the TK710STi’s made after November 2024 have addressed a few issues, mainly an issue with light spillage on the left side when ceiling mounted. So I ordered another one and even though it was manufactured in October, it’s much better than the last one I had. The bottom and corners still aren’t perfectly sharp like the center of the screen, but it is noticeably more sharp than the last one. And for some reason this one isn’t as loud as the previous one either. I use it on eco mode since I have a moderately light controlled room and you barely notice it when playing content.Some wonky things still happen with the connections and when switching between content. Sometimes when I power on the projector it automatically turns everything else connected to my A/V system and starts popping my speakers. To fix it from randomly switching between HDR and SDR on my Roku, I set the Roku output to 4K 60p rather than automatic. At this point I don’t necessarily care about HDR video content and am fine with just 4K.Overall it’s a much better experience than the last one I ordered and I’ll end up keeping this one.——This was meant to replace my TH671ST but I ended up returning it because the overall experience wasn't worth the upgrade. Maybe the internals got misaligned during shipping, but mine had terrible focus uniformity compared to my TH671ST. It would be sharp in the top and center but was blurry on the bottom. The bottom left corner specifically was the worst and would not go away no matter how much you adjusted it. I only had -1 on my vertical keystone to compensate for my walls not being perfectly straight, but that is nowhere near enough keystoning to throw the focus off that much. You couldn't really notice it when watching content but it became very noticeable when scrolling through menus and catalogues. It also wasn't ideal for gaming since there are usually HUD's, maps, and stats on the corners.Other Negatives- The TK710STi is fairly loud when in normal light mode. Luckily, since this has a high lumen output, it was still bright in Eco mode which quieted the fan considerably. The decibels are about the same as my previous projector but the TK710STi had more of a buzzing sound than a fan sound. I probably would have gotten used to it after a while but I did not really like it.- The video signal would occasionally black out, glitch to a green screen, or boost the contrast and saturation. This mostly occurred when you started a show or movie and it was reading the video signal. When I'd back out of a movie to my Roku menu it would get stuck on an over-saturated image and I'd have to either turn the projector off and on or switch back and forth between HDMI inputs to fix it. I have high-speed 4K HDMI cables and this never happened on my previous projector.Positives- Despite my focus issue, the image was still very good. There was a noticeable difference when playing games since this projector has HDR capabilities. I also could tell the TK710STi had a significantly higher contrast ratio compared to my TH671ST (60,000:1 vs 10,000:1). In dark scenes this one excelled at presenting blacks without noticeable banding or gradations like my 671ST.- The remote is a big improvement from other BenQ projectors. It has Bluetooth so you don't have to point it directly at the projector to access the menu or volume.I was quite dissatisfied with the TK710STi and felt it wasn't worth spending $2K to upgrade from my TH671ST which is a really good projector despite it being 1080p. I purchased a new lamp and will likely wait for the next iteration of this projector or just eventually transition to a 100" TV a few years down the road.

TLDR version: Heaven for PC gaming and movies alike. Long version below.I use this projector for PC gaming (I run an RTX 3080) and as a home theater for steaming movies and shows (right now, primarily the latter, but that more because of my schedule, and I hope to change this soon).The picture quality (to include brightness and HDR) on this thing is top notch, so let’s get that out of the way. Frame rates at resolutions that are pretty competitive with high end PC gaming monitors give you a lot to love about this monitor for gamers... oh and at 100 inches. The price for performance on how this thing functions as a gaming monitor is pretty incredible at this size. Also, for the picture quality at the size you can easily get out of this thing, it beats the snot out of paying 5k + for an 80ish inch OLED TV. This thing compares favorably in terms of brightness, resolution and color with all but the highest end OLED TVs for a FRACTION of the price. Picture-wise, this thing is nothing short of amazing. I do not have this set up in a completely blacked out room, and I would say that the issues I have with natural lighting while using the projector during the day are different but equal to the issues I have watching a TV in a similarly lit room (light dilution vs glare, etc.). That’s a solvable problem; consider a window blackout solution if that’s a concern. Also, if you’re going to go in for this beast, I highly recommend a dedicated screen. Don’t debase the amazing picture quality of this beautiful machine by projecting onto a painted wall, that’s just silly.The Meh: Sometimes the projector seems to get confused with input devices; when I want to use the projector as a computer monitor, sometimes I need to power cycle one or the other. Not sure what this is about, but it’s barely a minor inconvenience, and the couple of times it’s happened it has been when I am deliberately messing around with display settings pretty hard. It may very well be entirely on my PC. The remote that comes with the projector is… mixed. The Android TV dongle that comes with the projector and the way the remote controls both projector AND the “smart TV” ish functionality is pretty great, the remote just isn’t the most responsive. Slow, spaced-out and very “deliberate” button pressing seems to be the key. This is not a big deal in itself; the finicky remote is particularly annoying when adjusting projector settings and the volume on the onboard speaker (which functions but isn’t going to win any awards). So, while the android TV dongle and it’s seamless integration with the remote is a really, really nice touch, it isn’t perfect. Beyond some of the remote clunkiness, there isn't an organic solution for Netflix, and in general, I found that a 4K fire stick it more responsive as a streaming device… the great news is that you can pop a fire stick into the same HDMI slot AND power source on the monitor that is intended for the android TV dongle. Right now, that’s what I’m doing, and the biggest downside seems to be that I have another remote in the mix (but I like the Amazon one better anyway). When I’m feeling brave I’ll see if I can figure out how to power on the projector through the Amazon remote, but it hasn’t bothered me enough to try yet. Anyway, to me this is more of an option than a real complaint, and the fact that the projector comes equipped with what is essentially an organic smart TV functionality should be seen as a bonus… especially at this price point.EDIT: I definitely recommend a sound system that matches the quality of the picture on this projector to do the experience justice. Finding a sound bar that worked with this set up was a BIT of a challenge. At the end of the day, something that has eARC/HDMI functionality is the key, but I also recommend something with a wide variety of input format compatibility. My initial review was pretty heated because I fought a Klipsch Cinema 600 for 2 weeks with missed results - after all that it turned out it was the soundbar (I’m fairly tech savvy, but the problems and solutions to them when they worked were way bizarre, and the soundbar was theoretically compatible). I went with a Samsung HW-Q800, and that was easy to set up, and HDMI ARC worked with the normal amount of setting fiddling, and it sounds great. I edited my review to hopefully save someone the headache, and to correct my mistake in thinking the issue with connectivity was on the projector - it was not.Bottom Line: this projector is…. Amazing. The price per performance on a projector that delivers most of the functionality you’d expect out of a high end gaming monitor (for a similar price on a WAY smaller screen) at up to 120 inches is just. Plain. Dumb. In the best way possible. If you have a stereotypical “man cave” game room and you want to add a screen that is just stupidly big and beautiful for both a quality gaming and home theater experience, look no further. As a point of comparison: Next to a top of the line OLED TV (my original option for down here) that could perform in gaming at the same level, you might say that the OLED looked better- but for 83 inches you’re going to pay something like 4 times the price of this projector (my reason for taking the plunge and buying a projector for the first time). To me, this projector offered 85% of the experience I wanted from an OLED TV at 25% of the price- that math was easy. I personally feel that by almost any other metric, this projector matches or wins in all categories against any remotely comparable TV.

Amazing! Stunning! Im throwing a 150" image onto a white painted wall and it looks terrific!You've got to understand before going with a projector, that the very best picture quality comes from tv's, but c'mon......150" of laser sharp 4k on a wall, taking up no space. I'm wondering how much a difference a dedicated screen would make?? Not going to do it cause I'm satisfied as is. Have it hooked to an Onkyo receiver with big sub and surround - like being in a theater. One of my proudest purchases, lol. (I appreciate nice things)

I am primarily using the projector for gaming on my PS5 and it has been great so far. I did have a slight hiccup when I had both my XSX and PS5 going through an HDMI switch to the projector. The PS5 image signal would cut out periodically during gameplay which was very annoying but connecing the PS5 directly to the projector solved this issue. I have an apple tv connected to it so I have not used the included android tv but install of that was easy.I am projecting a 120" image from about 80 inches away (6' 8") and it looks amazing. The input lag has been inperceptable for me but I am not playing FPS or anything online. The brightness is fantastic but playing with the lights on does wash it out a bit. Still better than my previous projector (Optoma UHD50).The lack of an optical audio jack, only 2 HDMI ports and the issue with the HDMI switch knocked a star off for me but thats nit picking. Gaming on 120" is epic and this projector performs better than most for this price and throw distance.
