![]() Since my mount is at the back of my room some 10 and a half feet away the TK700STi would be 'limited' to projecting an image roughly 135-160 inches in size. I don't actually use a coffee table in my media room but I found a nice wooden crate in my fiancées work shop that worked all the same.Īlternatively, you could mount the projector to your ceiling. With it I was able to fill my 100" screen with the projector just 6 and a half feet away- most competitors would need at least 8-9 ft to do the same! This makes setup simple as you can just plop the projector down on a coffee table and point it at your screen or wall. Plenty of 4K DLPs tout a short throw lens in their marketing but this TK700STi is shorter than most. One of the TK700STi's headline features is it's short throw lens. Memories of the soft orange glow of BenQ's traditional remote now tug at my heart strings. Unfortunately, the remote is not backlit. The only hot key for streaming is, as you might expect, Prime Video. The remote offers IR as well as Bluetooth connectivity and has a built in microphone for voice search. It feels similar too with it's soft rubber keys and slim profile. The included remote bares more than a passing resemblance to the one Apple includes with their Apple TV box. The removable cover is shockingly stout and even includes a little pad to keep the streaming stick from vibrating in it's housing. Installing the media stick is as simple as unscrewing the cover, sliding the plate off, plugging in the stick and then connecting the little micro USB power lead. The third is hidden away behind a removable cover secured with a screw and is sized just right to house the included QS01 AndroidTV media streamer. The last I saw BenQ use a similar design element was on the HT2050A and I'm glad to see it’s return.Īround back you'll find all your I/O including two of the three available HDMI ports. The whole top plate has a subtle pattern to it which doesn't show up well in photos. The rings themselves have a nice high quality feel to them. Up top you'll find the power and menu/navigation controls as well as a cutout to access the zoom and focus control rings. The left and ride sides are largely left open for cooling and you can see the aluminum driver of the 5W chamber speaker peaking out from behind the right vent. I like the dark front face plate and there's a couple of subtle 4K HDR logos to remind you of the tech lurking inside. The TK700STi's design is clean and classy if a bit understated. Most 4K DLPs are small but the TK700STi- weighing a scant 7 lbs with a footprint barely larger than a legal pad- is downright tiny! The first thing I'm struck by is how compact the TK700STi is. Unpacking the TK700STi you'll find the projector, BenQ's QS01 AndroidTV streaming stick, a natty Bluetooth/IR remote and a power cable.

Let's dig in to find out! The combination of low input lag and a short throw lens is one that was quite popular for 1080p DLP projectors back-in-the-day but this is the first time we've seen such a pairing in a 4K projector! Packing a high brightness rating of 3000 ANSI lumens, you won't need a fully blacked out room to get a fantastic image with the TK700STi either. BenQ has paired this with a true short throw lens capable of projecting a 100" image in as little as 6 and a half feet. The headline feature here has to be Texas Instrument's brand new, low latency XPR chip which promises a mere 1 frame of input lag (16.7ms) for 4K/60Hz sources. The TK700STi is the latest UHD home entertainment projector from BenQ and comes to market with a feature set unique among it's 4K DLP competition.
