BenQ TK710 review

No. 6 of 10 in our projectors ranking · Updated · How we rank

Our verdict: The BenQ TK710 ranks 6th of the 10 projectors we compare, with 8.1 out of 10.

BenQ TK710

8.1/10

The BenQ TK710 is a 4K laser DLP projector with low input lag and eARC. It suits console players who also watch films in a room they can dim, and who don't mind adding a streaming stick.

Why it's here

  • Laser light source rated for up to 20,000 hours
  • 16ms input lag at 4K 60Hz and about 4ms at 1080p 240Hz
  • Two HDMI 2.0b ports, with eARC for a soundbar
  • Vertical lens shift, 1.3x zoom and 3D keystone correction

Keep in mind

  • HDMI 2.0 only, so no 4K at 120Hz
  • No built-in streaming, so plan on a stick
  • Lens shift is vertical only, and 3200 lumens still wants a dim room

About the BenQ TK710

The TK710 is a single-chip DLP projector with a true 4K (3840 x 2160) picture, a laser light source and a 3200-lumen rating. BenQ rates the laser at up to 20,000 hours in both Normal and Eco modes. It supports HDR10 and has HDR-RPG and HDR-FPS game modes, and BenQ quotes 95% Rec.709 coverage.

The gaming numbers are the selling point. BenQ lists input lag of 16ms at 4K 60Hz, 8ms at 1080p or 2K at 120Hz, and 4ms at 1080p 240Hz. The two HDMI inputs are both 2.0b, so full 4K tops out at 60Hz. One of them carries eARC for 7.1-channel and Dolby Atmos audio to a soundbar or receiver. The built-in speaker is a single 5W unit, and there is a 3.5mm audio out.

Setting up the picture is flexible within limits. The lens has a 1.15 to 1.5 throw ratio with 1.3x zoom, 10% vertical lens shift and 3D keystone correction. ProjectorCentral got a 100-inch image from just over 8 feet. The projector measures 304.2 x 112.4 x 232.5 mm and weighs 3.0kg. In the box are a remote with battery, a 1.8m power cord, a quick start guide and a warranty card. It has no built-in streaming apps.

What owners report about the BenQ TK710

We found very little owner feedback written about this exact model, and what exists is mostly short or mixed in with the TK710STi, so we haven't drawn owner conclusions from it.

What we can say comes from reviewers rather than owners. ProjectorCentral measured less brightness than the rating in its brightest mode, found the colour out of the box could be more accurate, and saw black levels slightly below average. It saw almost no rainbow effect, but single-chip DLP projectors can show it to sensitive viewers.

Who the BenQ TK710 suits

The TK710 suits someone who plays on a PS5 or Xbox at 4K 60Hz, or on a PC at 1080p with a high refresh rate, and who watches films with the lights down. The eARC port makes it easy to pair with a soundbar, and the laser source means no lamp to replace.

Look elsewhere if you want 4K at 120Hz, since HDMI 2.1 is needed: the Hisense M2TUK Pro has it. If you want apps without a stick, the Nebula Cosmos 4K SE has Google TV built in. For a small room where you can't sit far from the screen, the BenQ TK700STi is the short-throw option. People who watch in daylight or are sensitive to rainbow effects should think twice about any single-chip DLP model.

Questions about the BenQ TK710

Does the BenQ TK710 have a rainbow effect?

It can. The TK710 is a single-chip DLP projector, and ProjectorCentral saw none with normal content and one brief instance with white subtitles on black. People who are sensitive to rainbows should try one first.

How loud is the BenQ TK710?

BenQ rates it at 31 dB in Normal mode and 28 dB in Eco mode. ProjectorCentral measured about 35 to 40 dBA close to the unit, with Bright mode loudest.

Does the BenQ TK710 need calibration?

A calibration helps. ProjectorCentral found the out-of-the-box colour accuracy could be better, and the SDR FPS and SDR User modes lock some settings, such as gamma and Detail Adjustment.

Does the BenQ TK710 support 4K at 120Hz?

No. Both HDMI ports are 2.0b, which gives 4K at 60Hz or 1080p at up to 240Hz. BenQ lists 8ms input lag at 1080p or 2K at 120Hz.

How bright is the BenQ TK710 really?

BenQ rates it at 3200 lumens. ProjectorCentral measured 2,478 lumens in Bright mode and roughly 1,450 to 1,800 in other modes, so a dim room is best.

What is the warranty on the BenQ TK710?

BenQ's UK spec page doesn't state a length. It says a warranty card comes in the box, so check that card or ask BenQ.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 26 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
