BenQ TK710

If you want a **4K projector** for movies and gaming in a real living room, the TK710 is aimed squarely at you. It’s built for people who want a big screen without closing the blinds every time, and who care just as much about gaming latency as movie nights. ## What makes it worth it BenQ pairs a laser light source with 3,200 ANSI lumens, which is enough to stay usable in ambient light far better than most home cinema projectors in this price band. Wirecutter also notes it supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, plus gaming-specific HDR modes, so it handles modern consoles and streaming content without feeling dated. The other big win is setup flexibility: you get 10% vertical lens shift, 1.3x zoom, and 3D keystone correction, which makes placement much less painful than on fixed-lens rivals. Gaming is the headline act, though. At 1080p it can hit 240Hz with 4ms response time, which is the sort of spec that matters if you actually play fast shooters or racing games on a projector. ## Where it falls short It does not have a built-in smart TV platform, so you’ll need a streaming stick or console. Reviews also point out that the best picture modes are not as bright as the headline number suggests, and the focus is manual rather than motorised. Buy it if you want a bright, low-lag 4K gaming projector for a lounge or mixed-use media room. Skip it if you want an all-in-one smart projector or a fully automated home cinema setup.
