BenQ TK710STi
Genuine gaming speed per ProjectorReviews, but documented light bleed and 3D mode faults make it a reliability gamble. Buy the BenQ X3100i instead.

They do sell the same projector in a long throw form factor, the TK710, which does cost less money at $1,800. That said, if you have a small space and want to get that big screen performance, then this would be a top choice. For its class, it produces a bright, vibrant image whether you're watching 2D or 3D video, and it worked out perfectly for my gaming sessions. I did find the included Android dongle was a bit laggy for my tastes, but if you want an all-in-one projector solution, the Android features did work perfectly fineWatch J

I have owned the TK710STi. It is a nice projector. However, the size of your screen will be pushing it to its limits. In my latest set up (approx 118 x188 screen), I installed the BenQ LK936ST because of the size of the screen and more importantly the increase in lumens. The TK710STi would be completely washed out unless the room was very dark.Read C
I had the BENQ 1080st for the last 6 years waiting on this bad boy. So much better and way better picture than some other competitors that cost more. A good screen makes a huge difference as well.Watch T
I've got the Benq TK 700sti since 2023 and my only biggest complaint is corners can be weirdly blurry. If I adjust the lense the corners get sharper but the center screen gets blurry.Watch
