The BenQ TK705i is a 4K HDR home-entertainment projector that delivers a true 3840 × 2160 cinema experience on screens up to 150 inches, and in India it is available at ProAudio Video for ₹140,900 against a launch price of ₹199,990. Built around a long-life LED light source, a 0.47-inch DLP chip with pixel-shifting, and 3000 ANSI lumens of brightness, the TK705i is designed to be the centrepiece of a modern living room — bright enough to watch with some ambient light, sharp enough for 4K Blu-ray and streaming, and fast enough for console gaming thanks to HDMI 2.1 and roughly 16 ms of input lag. With Google TV baked in, it behaves more like a giant smart TV than a traditional projector.

This BenQ TK705i review is aimed at Indian buyers weighing up a big-screen alternative to a 65-inch or 75-inch TV. It is the right projector for movie nights, weekend sport, casual PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming, and binge-streaming Netflix or Prime Video, especially for anyone who wants a plug-and-play smart experience without a separate media box. If you want the largest, most immersive image per rupee and you can control room lighting reasonably well, the TK705i makes a strong case.

Picture Quality & Performance

Picture quality is where the BenQ TK705i earns its keep. The 0.47-inch DLP chip uses fast pixel-shifting to put a full 8.3 million pixels on screen, so a 4K UHD image looks genuinely crisp — text on a streaming dashboard is clean and film grain, skin texture and fine background detail all come through. BenQ rates the projector at 3000 ANSI lumens, and in practice that is enough to keep a 100-inch image punchy in the evening with lamps on, or in a room with curtains drawn during the day. Colour is handled by BenQ’s CinematicColor engine, which covers roughly 98% of the Rec.709 space, giving natural, well-judged tones rather than the oversaturated look of cheaper projectors. HDR support spans HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG, processed by BenQ’s HDR-PRO tone-mapping so bright highlights and shadow detail are both preserved. A dynamic contrast figure of 6,000,000:1 helps night scenes look reasonably deep, though — as with any single-chip DLP — the very best black levels arrive when you can dim the room. For gaming, HDMI 2.1 with Auto Low Latency Mode brings input lag down to around 16 ms at 4K/60Hz, so it feels responsive with a PS5 or Xbox Series X.

Build Quality & Design

The TK705i keeps to BenQ’s familiar compact lifestyle-projector chassis: a tidy, rounded cabinet in a premium grey finish that sits comfortably on a media console, coffee table or ceiling mount and weighs in at a manageable ~3 kg. It is small enough to move between rooms yet solid enough to leave permanently installed. Ventilation is well managed and, because this is an LED unit rather than a lamp projector, running heat and fan noise are kept modest — a real quality-of-life benefit for late-night viewing. Setup is one of the model’s strongest points: BenQ’s 8-way Smart Image Adaptation bundles autofocus, automatic 2D keystone correction, auto screen-fit and an auto cinema mode that reads wall colour and ambient light, so the projector squares up and sharpens its own image within seconds of being switched on. A motorised 1.3x optical zoom (extended by digital zoom) gives useful flexibility over throw distance, letting you fill a screen from a range of placements without physically moving the unit. It is a design clearly built for real Indian homes rather than dedicated cinema rooms.

Features & Connectivity

Feature depth is the TK705i’s headline story. Google TV is built in, so the projector boots straight into a familiar smart-TV interface with Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+ Hotstar and thousands of other apps, plus Google Cast for beaming content from a phone. A Bluetooth voice remote handles search and control, and Bluetooth 5.2 also lets you pair wireless headphones or a speaker. On the back you get two HDMI 2.1 ports (HDCP 2.2) for a 4K Blu-ray player and a games console at the same time, along with USB-C (with up to 30W power delivery), USB-A for media playback and a standard audio output for connecting external sound. MEMC motion interpolation smooths fast pans in sport and action films, while the gaming-focused low-latency mode keeps things sharp for controllers. Audio comes from dual built-in speakers (approximately 5W each) that are fine for casual viewing and clear on dialogue, but they lack real bass — for movie nights we strongly recommend adding a soundbar or an AV receiver setup, both of which ProAudio Video stocks. Taken together, the connectivity and smart features mean the TK705i works as a complete out-of-the-box entertainment hub rather than just a display.

Value for Money in India 2026

At a launch price of ₹199,990, the BenQ TK705i sits in the premium tier of home projectors, but the ProAudio Video price of ₹140,900 changes the maths considerably and makes it far more competitive against 75-inch and 85-inch 4K TVs. For that money you get a genuine 4K image far larger than any affordable TV, a lamp-free LED engine that should run for well over a decade of normal use without a costly bulb replacement, and full Google TV smarts. Factor in the near-zero maintenance of the LED light source and the fact that you are effectively buying a 100-to-150-inch screen, and the cost-per-inch is excellent for Indian buyers in 2026. It is not an impulse buy, but as a long-term living-room centrepiece the TK705i is well-judged value at ₹140,900.

Who Should Buy the BenQ TK705i?

Buy it if you: want a genuine 4K big-screen experience of 100 inches or more for movies and streaming; game on a PS5 or Xbox Series X and value low input lag with HDMI 2.1; prefer a plug-and-play smart projector with Google TV instead of a separate media box; and want a lamp-free LED projector with minimal long-term maintenance.

Skip it if you: only ever watch in a fully bright room with no light control; expect built-in speakers to replace a soundbar or home-theatre system; or need reference-grade black levels for a dedicated dark cinema room, where a higher-end long-throw projector would serve better.
