BenQ TK705STi Short throw projector 3000 ANSI lumens DLP UHD 4K (3840x2160) Grey

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

BenQ’s TK705STi is a sensible choice if you actually need a short‑throw DLP projector in a commercial room—think training spaces, boardrooms, classrooms, or anywhere you want a big screen image without the projector living in the presenter’s line of sight. The real-world win with this model is usability: short throw makes installation much easier than going long-throw, and the brightness helps keep the picture looking respectable in rooms that aren’t fully light-controlled. At ~£1.5k ex‑VAT, it’s not “cheap,” but it can be good value if you’ll get years of reliable day-to-day use and you care about getting a clean, immediate setup rather than wrestling with mounting and throw distance.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re buying purely on spec-chasing. DLP can be excellent, but it’s not the right pick for every environment—if your room has very particular viewing preferences, or you’re sensitive to potential DLP artifacts (some people notice them more than others), you should arrange a demo. Also, if you don’t genuinely need short throw (or you have controllable lighting and plenty of distance), you can usually get a better deal with a more flexible placement option. Bottom line: buy it if short‑throw placement is a real requirement for a commercial install; hesitate if you’re just trying to “get 4K for the money” without needing the installation benefits.
