The BenQ TK700STi projector has a somewhat compact design, but it isnt meant to be portable. You can carry it around, but at 7 pounds, its a bit chunky. It also doesnt have an integrated battery, so you must ensure you have access to a power outlet to use it. The projector has auto keystone correction, but only on the vertical axis, so you must still center it horizontally. It doesnt have autofocus, so you must manually adjust that to get the clearest image possible.This DLP projector uses a lamp as its light source, which can last from 4000 to about 15000 hours depending on the selected eco mode, after which youll need to swap the lamp for a new one. Its not a true 4k projector, as it uses pixel shifting to create a pseudo 4k image. This offers better quality than a pure 1080p projector but isn't as good as a native 4k projector.

Viewing Experience | The BenQ TK700STi projector delivers a satisfactory viewing experience in dark environments, thanks to its decent brightness and satisfactory contrast. However, its color output is somewhat lacking, with dull colors and limited performance in displaying the wider Rec. 2020 color space, despite handling the Rec. 709 color space well for SDR content. Overall, it's a solid choice for dark room viewing, though it may not meet the expectations of those seeking vibrant colors. |
