Benq TK700STI 4K Hdr Gaming Projector | 3000 Ansi Lumens

BenQ TK700STi – 4K HDR Short Throw Gaming Projector with 3,000 ANSI Lumens

The BenQ TK700STi was built around one idea: a true 4K gaming image should not need a large room. Its short throw lens projects a 100-inch image from about 2 metres, its DLP engine delivers 4K UHD resolution with 3,000 ANSI lumens, and its Fast Mode input lag – 16 ms at 4K/60 Hz and just 4 ms at 1080p/240 Hz – is low enough for competitive play. The included Android TV dongle turns it into a complete streaming hub for films and series between gaming sessions.

Gaming performance first

Input lag is where most projectors fall behind televisions, and it is where the TK700STi concentrates its engineering. At 4K/60 Hz the delay is a single frame, and dropping to 1080p opens up 120 Hz at 8 ms and 240 Hz at 4 ms for fast shooters and racing titles where response matters more than pixel count. Genre-specific modes tune the picture accordingly: FPS mode brightens dark corners, RPG mode deepens colour and contrast, and SPG mode is voiced for sports commentary and crowd atmosphere.

Short throw, big screen, small room

The 0.9 to 1.08 throw ratio with 1.2x zoom holds a precise 100-inch image between roughly 6.5 and 7.8 feet of throw distance, and the projector covers image sizes from 30 to 300 inches overall. That lets it sit on a coffee table or shelf in a bedroom or apartment where a conventional projector would need ceiling mounting. Three-dimensional keystone correction – vertical, horizontal and rotation – helps when the only available surface is not perfectly aligned with the wall.

Movies, streaming and HDR

Away from gaming, HDR10 and HLG support with 10,000:1 contrast and 96% Rec.709 coverage give films accurate colour and usable shadow detail, and 3D playback is supported for compatible Blu-ray content. The QS01 Android TV dongle sits in a concealed compartment and streams from the major apps with Google Assistant voice search, while Google Cast mirrors content from phones and laptops over dual-band Wi-Fi.

Sound and connections

The built-in 5 W chamber speaker with CinemaMaster Audio processing covers casual viewing and gaming on its own. For a fuller system, HDMI eARC passes 7.1-channel audio to a soundbar or AV receiver, and a 3.5 mm output covers headphones and powered speakers. Two external HDMI 2.0b inputs with HDCP 2.2 handle a console and a second source, USB Type A powers a streaming stick or accessory, and RS232 is provided for control-system integration.

If your room is small but your gaming ambitions are not, the TK700STi delivers a genuine 4K big-screen experience without demanding space you do not have.
