What customers don't like about BenQ TK705i

  • Weak black levels; dark scenes appear gray rather than truly black.
  • Included remote control lacks backlighting, making it difficult to use in dark rooms.
  • Built-in 8W speakers lack deep bass and power for a theatrical experience.
  • Large external power brick can be cumbersome for clean cable management.

Verdict

The BenQ TK705i is a 4K UHD DLP home entertainment projector featuring an LED light source with a high brightness of 3,000 ANSI lumens and coverage of 98% of the Rec. 709 colour space. Designed for versatility, it integrates Google TV with native Netflix certification and offers an ultra-low input lag of 5ms at 4K/60Hz, making it ideal for both cinematic viewing and high-performance gaming. Key specifications include HDR10/HLG support, dual HDMI 2.1 ports (one with eARC), and a USB-C port with 30W power delivery. Its flexible setup is enhanced by a 1.3x motorized optical zoom and 8-way smart image adaptation for automatic alignment. Pros include its excellent brightness for living rooms with ambient light, responsive gaming performance, and user-friendly smart interface. However, some cons noted are its relatively large power adapter brick, the use of a plastic chassis that may feel less premium than some competitors, and internal speakers that lack deep bass for a full cinematic experience.
