Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about BenQ TK710STi

  • Exceptional low input lag (4ms at 1080p/240Hz), making it ideal for competitive gaming and simulators.
  • High brightness (3,200 ANSI lumens) allows for clear viewing even in rooms with moderate ambient light.
  • Short-throw lens projects large images (e.g., 100 inches) from a very short distance (approx. 1.5 metres).
  • Long-lasting laser light source provides up to 20,000 hours of life with minimal maintenance.
  • True 4K UHD resolution delivers sharp and detailed picture quality for both movies and games.
  • Included Android TV dongle provides easy access to streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.

What customers don't like about BenQ TK710STi

  • Noticeable fan noise, especially in quiet scenes or when sitting close to the unit.
  • Lack of physical lens shift makes precise placement more difficult than on long-throw models.
  • Underwhelming built-in 5W mono speaker lacks depth and immersion for home cinema use.
  • The included remote control is not backlit, making it difficult to use in dark rooms.
  • Some users report 'laser speckle' or high-frequency visual noise inherent to single-laser technology.
  • HDR performance is limited compared to high-end home theatre projectors or OLED TVs.

Verdict

The BenQ TK710STi is a high-performance 4K UHD (3840x2160) short-throw laser projector designed for immersive gaming and home cinema in compact spaces. It features a bright 3200 ANSI lumen output, a 600,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a laser light source rated for 20,000 hours of life. Key characteristics include a short 0.69-0.83 throw ratio capable of projecting a 100-inch image from just 1.5 meters, along with 95% Rec.709 colour coverage and HDR10/HLG support. Its primary advantages are ultra-low input lag—measuring as low as 4.2ms at 1080p/240Hz and 16.7ms at 4K/60Hz—specialised HDR game modes, and integrated Android TV for native 4K streaming. However, its downsides include the lack of optical lens shift, a relatively weak 5W mono speaker, a non-backlit remote, and noticeable fan noise in brighter modes.
