“This is my first BenQ projector. I researched heavily before buying and decided this was the one. I waited and ordered it the first day it was released. It is EXCELLENT!!!! I have a 135inch 1.1 gain motorized screen and this projector is bright enough that I can use it for gaming during the daytime with windows open and my fan lights on. Supposedly I am way over the recommended screen size with the seating distance at only 9.5 feet back, but I absolutely love it and would not want to go any smaller. It is definitely comes to life with the lights off as all projectors do, but I still use it 100% instead of my TV which is right behind the roll down screen in my setup.
I use this projector for both gaming and movies. The lag time is very noticeably better than the TV for gaming. Lightning fast response times. This thing makes split screen multiplayer big enough that 4 people can actually see the screen. For movies, this thing makes the theater obsolete. Seriously, there is no seat in an empty theater where you can see as well as you can from my couch with the TK710 STi. The colors are bright, accurate, and vibrant. It looks better than I ever imagined.
It has 640 hours as of writing this review and I have had no issues or noticeable dimming whatsoever. It is mounted to my ceiling right above my couch. It is very quiet. You can only hear it if there is dead silence in the room and you are right next to it. I like that this projector is fairly low profile and not bulky. To me it is impessive that the kids can walk in front of the screen and there is no shadow because of its short throw coming from the ceiling. Even if an adult walks in front of the screen, there will barely be a shadow. The only improvements I can think of to make with this projector are those which are not yet technologically available at this point like 4k@240hz. I only gave 5 stars because I could not give 10!”
