BenQ TK705STi 4K Projector Review: Midrange Gaming Focus

The BenQ TK705STi is a short-throw 4K projector priced in the midrange category, primarily targeting gamers with its low-latency performance. It features a throw ratio of 0.8:1, allowing placement close to walls, and supports Wi-Fi 6 but lacks a 120Hz refresh rate or VRR. Gaming responsiveness is stellar, with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) delivering immediate controller feedback on Xbox Series X and PC. However, movie and TV show quality is average, with flat colors, poor contrast in dark scenes, and washed-out daytime viewing. The projector has two HDMI ports, one USB 2.0, one USB-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack but no optical or Ethernet ports. Auto-keystoning is finicky, often requiring manual adjustment. Built-in speakers are underwhelming, but external audio solves this. The Google TV interface is intuitive despite a QR code glitch. Overall, the TK705STi is recommended for gamers who prioritize low latency over high-end cinema picture quality.
