Deep dive — Features that matter to home-cinema buyers
1. Real 4K detail — but built for living rooms
The TK705i projects true 4K UHD (3840×2160), so movies and high-res streaming look crisp on large screens. BenQ’s color tech (CinematicColor / HDR-PRO) aims to keep skin tones and cinematic colors natural rather than oversaturated. This makes it ideal for film buffs and sports fans who want color accuracy on a big canvas.
2. Brightness you can actually use
With ~3000 ANSI lumens, the TK705i is bright enough for many living rooms — you won’t have to shut every curtain to enjoy daytime viewing on a big screen. That’s one of the main benefits over bargain projectors that require full darkness.
3. Long-life LED light source = lower running cost
The LED light engine offers long life (BenQ lists ~20k hrs normal, up to 30k hrs in ECO), which reduces lamp replacements and total cost of ownership — handy if you run the projector nightly.
4. Built-in Google TV — streaming without extra hardware
Google TV on board means Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and more are native apps — great if you want plug-and-play simplicity (no streaming stick or laptop required). This also keeps the setup clean for living-room use.
5. Gamers: HDMI 2.1 & low lag
If gaming is part of your home cinema use, TK705i supports HDMI 2.1 features and low-latency gaming modes (ALLM, low input lag at 4K/60Hz), so modern consoles and high-fps gaming feel responsive on a big screen.
6. Setup & optics — flexible for different rooms
Features like motorized zoom (on the TK705i vs STi variant differences), a variable throw ratio (1.0–1.3) and keystone/Smart Image Adaptation simplify installation in living rooms and multi-purpose halls. That means less fiddling with placement and more time watching.
Who should buy the TK705i?
Families who want a bright, big-screen experience without a dedicated dark home theater.
Gamers who want low input lag + 4K on a giant screen.
Users who prefer built-in streaming (Google TV) instead of adding extra devices.
People who value low maintenance (long-life LED) and easy setup.
Model replacements / where TK705i sits in BenQ’s lineup
The TK705i sits in BenQ’s TK700/TK705 family (BenQ has been iterating on this lineup to add smarter streaming and LED options). The TK705i adds the Google TV/Smart features and LED longevity to the TK705 formula and pairs with a short-throw sibling (TK705STi) for rooms that need shorter throw distances. If you’re choosing between older TK7xx models and the TK705i, you’re getting upgraded smart features, LED life and modern connectivity (HDMI 2.1) with the TK705i.
