The image is bright, crisp, and rich in color, even with subtle HDR details that really pop. Setup is easy with the short throw distance I had no trouble fitting it into a small space. Compared to other projectors I've tried, including the X500i, the difference in sharpness and overall picture quality is immediately noticeable. It's not cheap, but if you care about a truly cinematic experience at home, it's worth the investment.
r/projectors • Looking for the best short throw projector for you back patio. TK710STI vs.X500I vs. X300G ->This. I had an optima HD39HDR and lasted 3 years. I bought a BenQ tk710 laser and love it. It's like watching OLED
r/projectors • 1st time buying a projector - is laser just better than lamp? ->i got a tk710sti as it was one of the very few options that fit into my throw distance to screen size setup. image is very good for me, no artifacts, no problems, never seen any rainbow or anything. setup was easy, image adjustment to get it nicely into my screen was easy and works fine. integration with sofabaton was great. it does have a relatively loud fan though, that i can confirm. much more than what i was used to and becasue of the short throw it's also placed right above the sitting position. it sounds scary when turning it on and browsing through netflix to select a movie, BUT as soon as the movie plays with good sounds i don't hear it anymore at all...so yeah, it's weirdly loud and when there is no movie sound on it's a bit much maybe, but while actually watching i never had any issues with it at all.
r/projectors • Is TK710 too good to be true? ->I'm on a BenQ TK710 and it's fantastic
r/projectors • Looking for good PS5 Projector ->Given your budget and setup, almost certainly a TV. You can get a really nice 75" Mini-LED with 144hz and VRR and still probably have a couple bucks left over to buy some DLC. That said, I just went to a projector with my PS5, and I LOVE it, but my total setup was closer to 1500 Euro. It's been fantastic for the types of games I play (Expedition 33 is *GORGEOUS*), but I don't think I'd get it if I was still a CoD guy like when I was a teenager. It performs great for Destiny, but anything faster might be a bit wonky. I got a BenQ TK710, a Samsung all-in-one Soundbar, and a 120" Grey soft screen that just attaches to the wall via hook-and-loop tape. I'm upgrading that soon, but it's been great for the last month. The resolution is comparable to my previous 4k TV, and I can go to about 110" in my living room comfortably.
r/projectors • Projector vs tv at home with ps5 ->I have a TK710STI and my sim setup is 4:3, posted some pics of the quality and my setup in the link below. I had 2 AH series ones before this, my take is the AH series are trash, picture quality was not good, I almost moved off BenQ projectors because the AH ones were so bad. Then I got the TK710STI and it was night and day difference, much better quality and ease of setup. Also use it to watch football on Sunday's and it has excellent image quality. https://www.reddit.com/r/Golfsimulator/s/77NwHBNZOz
r/Golfsimulator • Projector Question ->tk710sti is ur best bet especially with the better brightness over the x500i
r/projectors • Looking for the best short throw projector for you back patio. TK710STI vs.X500I vs. X300G ->from those the x500i, if you absolutely need the extra brightness then the tk700sti but even better is the updated tk710sti so i'd personally go for that (ebay refurbished that ones is $1563)
r/projectors • Hi there I have around 2000$. Can you guys help me pick one ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

I have the TK710sti, in part because I could not justify for myself the extra cost of the LK936ST for my setup. As others said, the brightness seems to be the main difference between these two models. If helpful, my setup is in a garage whose only real natural light source is the window panel/glazing/lite on the top half of an exterior access door ~25ft from the impact screen. During bright daylight hours with all interior garage lights turned off, the picture from the TK710sti is awesome. No complaints. If the garage door is open or interior garage lights are on (other than the directional spotlights I installed that point at the hitting mat), the picture will be a bit washed out but still useable. It really comes down to how bright your use case environment will be.
r/Golfsimulator • I'm just diving into my simulator research. Can you explain the reasoning in pricing differences between these two 4K projectors? ->I would look at the BenQ TK710 as a really solid option overall. It's DLP and laser based so it is nice and quick for sports viewing and the laser means no lamp to replace. It should be within your budget as well. Look up the throw distance and make sure it fits your space properly. Go to at least a 120" screen, otherwise, just get a 100" TV for the same money. The Hisense C1/C2 models are pretty nice as well, but may be tougher to place accurately in your room.
r/projectors • Entry Level Projector for Sports and Movies ->BenQ is a solid brand. Be aware that you will want some sort of sound system to go with things and that if you have planned a spot for the projector to go, you need to be sure the throw distance will work with that projector and your 120" screen. That is, the lens on the BenQ TK710 is MUCH different than the lens on the TK710STi.

r/projectors • Projector Recommendations ->BenQ is a solid brand.

That is, the lens on the BenQ TK710 is MUCH different than the lens on the TK710STi.

r/projectors • Projector Recommendations ->Why not a LCD projector (Epson). 3 LCD panel projectors tend to be quite durable and can look really good. Like the Epson 3800. But, DLP models also look quite good and models like the TK710 from BenQ are a pretty solid choice for entry level home theater use. Their X500i is also a really solid model. I'd take either BenQ over the Epson models as they use a solid state light engine on them. Epson is still stuck with their lamp projectors right now.
r/projectors • Best Projector for Long Term Use ->Daytime use = control the light in the room. Don't just think a thousand extra lumens will fix things. It won't. The BenQ TK710 or X500i from BenQ, if you can find one within budget, or stretch your budget, is the way to go. The TK710 is brighter but not as good for movie viewing. Both use the larger and (hopefully) more reliable .65" DLP chip. Both are laser/LED light sources, for long term reliability. The TK700 is a lot less money and readily available as a refurb. But, it uses a lamp and the older .47" DLP chip in it. Viewsonic tends to try to put out projectors similar to what BenQ does, but they tend to fail to achieve the same quality that BenQ often delivers, so I'd generally skip them.
r/projectors • Best >1200$ 4k gaming projectors? ->If this is a permanent installation, look at home theater projectors, or lifestyle models designed to be easily ceiling mounted. A proper 5.1 audio installation with an AV receiver is a must, especially in a dedicated space with a home you actually own. Run wiring in the walls before you paint, and you will have a life long proper surround system. Avoid equipment at the front of the room if possible. Run HDMI to the projector and make it so you can swap out that HDMI cable. Wireless/screen mirroring is generally quite a lousy way to do anything. Use a wired device like an Apple TV or a Chromecast. If you're just streaming, consider a Roku or similar. The lifestyle models, as seen in the video, and as recommended with the X1 are decent solutions for sure, but are trickier to ceiling mount if they don't have a 3-point or 4-point mounting structure as is common with traditional projectors. Plus, they rarely have zoom and lens shift is almost unheard of. These are more common features on traditional projectors. But, the Hisense C2 Pro is a model with good zoom but terrible mounting. The Nexigo Trivision Ultra is well reviewed and has 4-point mounting which is nice for a ceiling setup. No zoom, no lens shift, so positioning must be very accurate for best results, as is common. Super easy to setup are models like the Epson 3800, but they are lamp-based and pretty much past their prime. A shame we haven't seen a laser version of those models yet. The BenQ X500i or X3100i are considerations as is the TK710 (or TK710STi) which are decent traditional models. High end starts around $5000 with Epson, Sony, and JVC models, all worthy in a good theater. Not sure what you're really hoping to spend here. A fixed frame screen from Silver Ticket is a excellent way to go.
r/projectors • Please help me choose a projector ->While I like the Epson models and they are great for those who are rainbow sensitive, I think the BenQ TK710 is a really solid choice. Make sure to check the throw distance calculator and ensure it fits your space properly.
r/projectors • Best bang for buck 4k projector over 3000lm, 120" at 12'? ->BenQ X500i, BenQ TK710 are the models I would put high on any list. They are both bright enough for a 120" to 140" diagonal. You should go larger than 120" if you can. If you have one row of seating at 16' then a 150" diagonal isn't even unrealistic. Check [www.silverticketproducts.com](http://www.silverticketproducts.com) for a standard frame fixed frame screen. They have some of the best pricing and you can buy through Amazon if it saves you on shipping. In a dark room, their matte white material is perfectly fine. Plan on at least $300 for a quality screen. The projector mount will vary in cost depending on how much quality you want. I generally pick up Chief RPMAU mounts off of eBay, The Peerless PRG-UNV mount is also a solid choice for a bit less money when new. The cheapest mount anyone should ever use is the QualGear ProAV mount. Also: You MUST think about sound. Projectors aren't TVs. They don't have built in sound which is that good or sound that comes from the front of the room. It's all sound coming from overhead, which is weird. A proper AV receiver and separate 5.1 audio system (or better) is a really good way to do things. Complete packages are available from [accessories4less.com](http://accessories4less.com) from about $400 or so.
r/projectors • Which sub 2k home theater projector ->Short throw projectors are much more forgiving on screen quality compared to ultra short throw (UST) projectors. So, a model like the BenQ TK710sti would be more of what I would consider over the UST models. Yes, the UST models often WILL work, but if your screen has a single wave or ripple in it at all, then the image will be screwed up. As well, aligning UST projectors accurately can be a real headache. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK710STi-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK710STi-projection-calculator-pro.htm) All of these models are short throw and should work in your room just fine...

r/projectors • New 150" Wall - Projector recommendations ? ->You may have been looking at the TK700, not the TK710. The TK710 is the newer version of the TK700. This is the page you would want to reference... [https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK710STi.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK710STi.htm)
r/projectors • New 150" Wall - Projector recommendations ? ->Don't buy this product! I bought one and it definitely has a very bad light leaking problem. And the most frustrating thing is: authorized BenQ technical service in my country (Turkey) said it doesn't have an issue and didn't accept it!
r/projectors • Is TK710 too good to be true? ->I highly advise against the TK710. My first unit had strong light leakage. It was replaced two times and each consecutive unit had the same issue. After 4 months dealing with customer service, I've finally decided for a refund and go for something else. Never again will I buy a BenQ

r/projectors • View on Reddit →Hi I tested the uhd35stx too bright and poor video processing. The w2720i at home and allthough blown away with some of the 4k fidelity for example costa rica video and colour enhancements in fifa i wasnt happy with some motion handling. Next I got the tk710sti and it looked pretty basic contrast wise had really good motion and processing but had laser speckle. So now about to purchase the x500i and follow the advice I was given and if it anything close the w2720i or better I will be extremely happy. :)
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I think the BenQ TK710 (not the older 700 series) is probably your best choice. The Epson 3800 might be an OK alternative but you give up a lot: namely a solid state lamp/laser, true 4K resolution, support for higher frame rates and DLP's absolutely fantastic motion handling (which is mind blowing at 120/240Hz). The BenQ X3100i comes highly recommended. I reviewed the prior X3000i a few years back. It's a great projector and the only one of these three that will give you some extra color gamut support for HDR. I really like the 4LED light engine for its vibrant colors. However it IS a bit pricier and I'm afraid the contrast isn't nearly as good as the two above. Fine for big screen gaming but maybe a bit less satisfying while watching movies. Another dark horse contender would be the BenQ X500i. This is actually my favorite projector BenQ offers right now besides the HT4550i. It has excellent color and superb contrast- but it's short throw only and the light output is borderline for a 120" display in a non-dedicated room.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I have the Tk710sti as a 4:3 ratio. Works great. I can swap it back to 16:9 with a few remote clicks. No regrets here
r/Golfsimulator • View on Reddit →I wouldn't recommend the tk710, I had one and it had this weird pattern on the screen, apparently quite common in DLP (it's dithering from the mirrors) https://youtu.be/j44HDvSbvSw?si=1pHTjkcjUNTzC2-1 BenQ said it was "normal", I returned it as it was visible in dark content from a viewing distance of around 2m. It was also quite noisy and the DLP high frequency flicker gave me a headache after a while. If you're used to LCD I would definitely try a DLP first before buying. I'm on the lookout for a similar projector to yourself too. The Epson still seems to win best in price range from various places despite it being from 2019. My only worry would be it might be upgraded or replaced fairly soon, but nothing at CES so who knows.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Benq TH575 if the budget is really tight, Benq Tk710sti is better if you can find it. Avoid cheap generic projectors with highly inflated ANSI numbers, mostly all are crap.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I think those two are the best middle of the road projectors out right now. The Benq 3100 is also really good but at a cost. I've heard solid things about the Hisense and the valerian but no personal experience. Bluetooth may work or may have a lag. Can't know without testing the combination. AirPlay will not have a lag. But yes there's lots of ways to get that part to work. I always run wires so haven't tried many of the wireless solutions but I do hear of lots of issues with Bluetooth sync
r/projectors • View on Reddit →You are a great person! I have read your BenQ TK710 comments everywhere. I am using that projector
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Looks great. Got a mate with benq 4K projector and The feeling playing at 130 inch screen is amazing. This nebula projector looks even better. Enjoy!
r/Switch • View on Reddit →Are you ok with lamp? For $1000, the BenQ TK700 (not STi) or a refurb Epson 3200 are probably your best bets. If you want to go solid state ( which I would argue might be a bigger upgrade in some ways than 4K) you'll have to save more for the laser powered BenQ TK710. There are a couple BenQ/Viewsonic 4LEDs in that range I really like but they are comparatively dim. Epson makes exactly zero solid state projectors I would recommend below the $4000 LS11000. Hopefully that will change at CES but it appears Epson is trying to move up market and is abandoning the lower price tiers to the same kind of kitschy, low contrast, "life-style" crap the market is already flooded with.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I've had to return mine after just a few day. I didn't want to. I don't have light bleed issues, however, I read somewhere else that that was a known problem with a bad batch of tk710's. https://old.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/1hnsj4d/benq_tk710_shining_a_long_beam_of_white_light_off/ With mine, the static picture quality is fantastic, as is the brightness, all in all it would be perfect... But it suffers badly from rainbow artifects. My previous tk850 was ok in that regard. Looking at others comments and reviews, I'm thinking now that it may have been a fault or misalignment. Too late now, though, I decided I had to go 3LCD. I have an Epson-LH10000 arriving next week..
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I just hooked it up to my PS5, running on HDR10 mode, lightsource mode dynamic. Projecting on a off white wall with slight structure. Coming from an Optoma HD144x I'm really happy with the TK710's performance. The picture is absolutely stunning. Colors have plenty of pop and the black levels are very good, especially considering the gamer focus of this projector. Looking at some HDR footage on YouTube I don't feel like I'm really missing any color at all. I'm also loving the tiny border around the image inherent to DLP tech. The Optoma had a very wide border which always annoyed me. I'll try and get a video uploaded for you guys, but my first impression of this projector is definitely a big thumbs up, especially for anyone who (like me) is using it for gaming most of the time and seeks to keep cost under control (I paid eur 1500) https://preview.redd.it/jai1gqwu8aed1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=a88f92fce97dc173cda407881c8895042fd6125d
r/projectors • View on Reddit →If I were doing this as you plan to I would personally get a Epson 3800 or Benq tk710 (tho I haven't spent a lot of time w the valerian or nicer nebulas yet) with an Apple TV which you could airport audio to a pair of Apple speakers
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I am not happy with mine. I've had issues with light bleed which after 3 exchanges for a new unit still isn't solved. I've now agreed with BenQ to do one more RMA and if that offers another unit that has this issue I'll get a full refund and I'll look for another projector from another brand. The image the TK710 produces is great, it's compact and relatively silent, but the light bleed makes it unusable for me. Perhaps people using it with the light on don't have this issue with it...
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I did a lot of research about the same thing recently for our home cinema / gaming room, and the TK710 is the best option under 2000, followed by the TK700. Reason why I went for the TK710 is because on paper it will last twice as long as the TK700. I wouldn't worry about the black levels, I own an OLED TV and obviously the blacks are superior there. But at the same time I live perfectly fine with my IPS monitor at my computer, yes it's very "illuminated black" but that's just how it is. I bought our projector for screen size and the cinema feeling it gives. And the other issue that was mentioned here about DLP peckle... I suggest watching the screen from at least 2.5 meters instead of 5 cm, that will help a lot. 😂 If you want a projector to achieve better then you should look at projectors over 3000.

r/projectors • View on Reddit →Buenas tardes, Tengo un proyector Benq TK710STi desde hace 3 meses y puedo decir que es un proyector genial para juegos o cine. Lo he utilizado con una PS5 y XBOX Series X y configurado en 4K. Y la verdad que se siente muy fluido y la definición es excelente. He probado todo tipo de juegos y en todos se comporta excelente. La pantalla que tengo es una Elite screens Sable Frame B2 SB100WH2 de 100" y me costo 248€ en Amazon, lo he probado en una pared blanco mate y también se ve muy bien. Aunque recomiendo invertir en una pantalla ya que mejora la calidad y se evitan imperfecciones de la pared. Al proyector lo utilizo en modo Eco, el brillo suelo utilizarlo entre 28-40 dependiendo de la situación y contenido, el contraste entre 50-60. Les dejo una captura, ya que no me permiten subir mas.

r/projectors • View on Reddit →My TK710 is in an Airbnb where simplicity is paramount. Requiring a guest to use a separate remote to power off the projector is a deal breaker. This is so frustrating.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →TK710 can throw a 120" 4k image at 145" for right under 2k. If your walls and ceiling both are not painted black you will still want to go with a grey screen (if you already haven't stumbled across this during your studies). Edit: Elite Screens do okay things with manual pull up and pull downs but if you're going to spend 2k, I would go with a "fixed screen" something like this https://www.silverticketproducts.com/collections/fixed-projection-screens/products/str-169120-g . Extremely easy installation and you'll be happy with the results. Pull ups and pull downs can get a "wavy" effect when a camera pans. It's very noticeable. Fixed screens provide a near perfect flat service that will not distort the image. Hope this help!

You can get a really nice 75" Mini-LED with 144hz and VRR and still probably have a couple bucks left over to buy some DLC. That said, I just went to a projector with my PS5, and I LOVE it, but my total setup was closer to 1500 Euro. It's been fantastic for the types of games I play (Expedition 33 is *GORGEOUS*), but I don't think I'd get it if I was still a CoD guy like when I was a teenager. It performs great for Destiny, but anything faster might be a bit wonky. I got a BenQ TK710, a Samsung all-in-one Soundbar, and a 120" Grey soft screen that just attaches to the wall via hook-and-loop tape. I'm upgrading that soon, but it's been great for the last month. The resolution is comparable to my previous 4k TV, and I can go to about 110" in my living room comfortably.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Looks like it's the tk710sti with the auto fit feature of the AH700. I have the tk710sti and it's fine, but I will most likely upgrade to a brighter projector. The tk710sti only gets about 2450 lumens when in color accurate mode (living room). Bright mode looks terrible. Plenty fine for golf, but lacking when trying to use for home theatre.
r/Golfsimulator • View on Reddit →While I like the Epson models and they are great for those who are rainbow sensitive, I think the BenQ TK710 is a really solid choice. Make sure to check the throw distance calculator and ensure it fits your space properly.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I have the benq 710sti for 8 months now in my basement. I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching projectors and I kept coming back to this one. I wanted 4K mostly because I also wanted to use it for movies with the family. And I'm glad I did because I use it a lot for movies and television. Doesn't sound like you are doing that. I will say 4K looks beautiful on GSPRO, and it's fun just admiring some of the course details. However, it is not necessary at all. It does not affect gameplay or your enjoyment of the software one bit. Friends coming over will be impressed with it no matter what. 4K is not needed for sim.
r/Golfsimulator • View on Reddit →I have a Benq TK710STi in the basement theater room for gaming. It's $1700, plus a screen is going to be around your budget probably. It does 1080p@240hz or 1440p@120hz. Size and high refresh rate make gaming really great on it. I love it for that. However, for watching movies, I'm disappointed in it. I have OLED screens on everything else in the house and so the projector just doesn't look great. Additionally, during panning shots on movies, it can give a stutter that makes me dizzy, since it doesn't have the motion technology that at TV has to smooth the movement. Lastly, the unit itself is very noisy. I'd say go TV.
r/hometheater • View on Reddit →Benq 710 is a very good choice. Tho we don't know longevity yet the valerian are very good. Benq 3100 is awesome. I'm running an Epson ls11000 at the moment.... All start at double your budget. There are good choices between your budget and $2k just those are my current top choices

The issue there might be focus uniformity in the corners but I prefer a shorter throw unit to keep everything closer to the screen to avoid tripping but also to avoid casting shadows when people walk in between. The BenQ TK710STi could target that screen in as little as 10 feet. Closest you might get for a long throw model in the consumer market is the Epson Home Cinema 3800. It's roughly 28 feet at its furthest telephoto range. Beyond that we're probably looking at commercial units. The problem with commercial units is even with your budget you'll be hard pressed to find something that would fit.

r/projectors • View on Reddit →Look at this review (in German) which shows performance in daylight conditions. https://youtu.be/_SK7TtXl_R4?si=L_4MF7eP2_dWrcGr
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I just ordered it. The shop has a good return policy and going by the reputation of the predecessor it will be a great product. I figured there is actually only one way to really find out! I'll let you know my findings.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Don't buy this product! I bought one and it definitely has a very bad light leaking problem. And the most frustrating thing is: authorized BenQ technical service in my country (Turkey) said it doesn't have an issue and didn't accept it!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I have the TK710sti, in part because I could not justify for myself the extra cost of the LK936ST for my setup. As others said, the brightness seems to be the main difference between these two models. If helpful, my setup is in a garage whose only real natural light source is the window panel/glazing/lite on the top half of an exterior access door ~25ft from the impact screen. During bright daylight hours with all interior garage lights turned off, the picture from the TK710sti is awesome. No complaints. If the garage door is open or interior garage lights are on (other than the directional spotlights I installed that point at the hitting mat), the picture will be a bit washed out but still useable. It really comes down to how bright your use case environment will be.
r/Golfsimulator • View on Reddit →what about the BenQ TK7xxx laser one? just got the TK710STI - pretty awesome (replaced a BenQ 1085ST)
r/projectors • View on Reddit →BenQ X500i, BenQ TK710 are the models I would put high on any list. They are both bright enough for a 120" to 140" diagonal. You should go larger than 120" if you can. If you have one row of seating at 16' then a 150" diagonal isn't even unrealistic. Check [www.silverticketproducts.com](http://www.silverticketproducts.com) for a standard frame fixed frame screen. They have some of the best pricing and you can buy through Amazon if it saves you on shipping. In a dark room, their matte white material is perfectly fine. Plan on at least $300 for a quality screen. The projector mount will vary in cost depending on how much quality you want. I generally pick up Chief RPMAU mounts off of eBay, The Peerless PRG-UNV mount is also a solid choice for a bit less money when new. The cheapest mount anyone should ever use is the QualGear ProAV mount. Also: You MUST think about sound. Projectors aren't TVs. They don't have built in sound which is that good or sound that comes from the front of the room. It's all sound coming from overhead, which is weird. A proper AV receiver and separate 5.1 audio system (or better) is a really good way to do things. Complete packages are available from [accessories4less.com](http://accessories4less.com) from about $400 or so.
