DLP, and a specification sheet that names its conditions
In brief
BenQ makes single-chip DLP projectors. The TK705i and TK705STi reviewed here state 3,000 ANSI lumens and Google TV; both sold on Amazon.com on Oct 25, 2026. Reviewed here: BenQ TK705i 4K HDR projector, BenQ TK705STi 4K HDR short throw projector. Both had an Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026, from $1,399 to $1,599.
Single-chip DLP projection, across ranges that are genuinely different rather than differently badged: a home theater model tuned for contrast and color, a gaming model tuned for input lag and refresh rate.
The distinction is one buyers make and most catalogs blur. A projector optimized for a bright meeting room is not the machine to buy for a dark living room, and BenQ tends to say which is which.
Stated ANSI lumens with the picture mode named. A projector quoted at its brightest mode is quoted in a mode almost nobody watches films in.
Both are 4K HDR machines with Google TV built in and 3,000 ANSI lumens stated in a measured unit. The TK705i is the standard-throw model ($1,399 on Amazon.com on October 25, 2026); the TK705STi is the short-throw version ($1,599 the same day), which puts the same image size much closer to the wall — the reason to pay the difference in a room where the projector cannot sit at the back.
4K HDR · 3,000 ANSI lumens · Google TV built in
A 4K HDR projector with Google TV on board and a stated 3,000 ANSI lumens — the built-in system is the reason to choose it, and the reason to check licensing before buying.
Best for: Someone who wants one object rather than a projector plus a streaming stick, in a room where the light can be controlled.
≈ $1,399
Short throw · 4K HDR · 3,000 ANSI lumens · Google TV built in
The 4K version of the short-throw idea, with Google TV on board — a self-contained machine that sits close to the wall and needs nothing else plugged into it.
Best for: A room too small for a long throw projector where the picture still has to be 4K, and where one object is preferable to three.
≈ $1,599
