BenQ TK710STi projector – Review

by

WORDS APURVA CHAUDHARY

The BenQ TK710STi represents an exciting evolution in the gaming projector space, bringing laser technology to a more accessible price point while maintaining the performance that gamers demand. The TK710STi maintains BenQ’s characteristic clean industrial design with a white and gray color scheme that would look at home in any modern setup. At 3.0 kg (6.6 lbs), it’s surprisingly portable for a laser projector, making it viable for gaming sessions away from home. The build quality is solid, with no creaking or flexing in the chassis. As a short-throw projector with a 0.69-1.0 throw ratio, the TK710STi offers flexible placement options. The inclusion of both vertical lens shift (±10 degrees) and 1.3x zoom provides good setup flexibility. I particularly appreciated the comprehensive keystone correction (±30° horizontal and vertical) for those situations where perfect alignment isn’t possible. Gaming experience, this is where the TK710STi truly shines. The input lag numbers are impressive. In real-world gaming, these numbers translate to an incredibly responsive experience. I tested the projector extensively with multiple consoles, and each showed distinct advantages.

 The Switch performed exceptionally well, with Nintendo’s vibrant art style really popping on the TK710STi. Games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate felt incredibly responsive at 1080p/60Hz. The dedicated gaming modes (RPG and FPS) are thoughtfully tuned, with FPS mode providing excellent visibility for competitive gaming while RPG mode emphasizes color and contrast for more cinematic experiences. The 3,200 ANSI lumens from the laser light source provide ample brightness for both gaming and movie watching, even with some ambient light present. The 0.65-inch DLP chip with XPR technology delivers true 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), and the image is impressively sharp. Color performance is solid, with the projector covering 95% of the Rec.709 color space. The HDR implementation, while not class-leading, provides a noticeable improvement in contrast and dynamic range when gaming with HDR enabled.

Unlike the standard TK710, the TK710STi comes with BenQ’s QS02 Android TV dongle included in the package, providing access to streaming services and smart TV functionality. The connectivity options are comprehensive: 2x HDMI 2.0b ports with HDCP 2.2, RS-232 control port, audio output and USB Type-A (5V/2.5A power supply). The eARC support is particularly welcome for those with modern audio setups, allowing for high-quality audio passthrough including Dolby Atmos. The built-in 5-watt mono speaker is serviceable for casual use but falls short for serious gaming or movie watching. It’s loud enough for basic needs, but you’ll want to use the audio output for any serious gaming or movie sessions. The TK710STi positions itself as a premium option in the short-throw gaming projector market. The combination of laser technology, low input lag, and true 4K resolution makes it a strong contender for those seeking a gaming f irst projector that can also handle movie duty admirably.
