Rank #8 in Best 4K Laser Projector 2026: 8 Ranked, Spec Tables Fact-Checked
BenQ TK705i 4K HDR Projector with Google TV
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BenQ TK705i is a 4K HDR DLP home projector with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160, a quoted 3000 ANSI lumens, Google TV built in and a listed input lag of 5 ms at 4K/60Hz over HDMI 2.1. It sits eighth in this guide, at £1,198.98.
Its listing is the one that leaves the contrast figure out altogether: the spec table says "High" where a number should be, so there is nothing here to set beside the contrast claims quoted elsewhere in this guide. The same table gives a maximum throw distance of 13.33 Feet and a minimum of "1.0" with no unit at all, lists 127.22 Volts, and pairs a 300-inch maximum image size with a first bullet that headlines a 150-inch screen. The star breakdown printed alongside the 4.4 rating totals 100 entries, while the advert states 32 ratings. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon advert for this model — we have not measured the projector ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
“Very solid budget-conscious projector for a dedicated cinema room.I've got it ceiling mounted approx 4m from a 120" screen. I was able to fill the screen well using the 1.3x zoom (and it's motorised, which is nicer than a manual wheel ive used on other projectors), and a bit of keystone fiddling. Really the only feature missing from a positioning-perspective is lens-shift, which is a bummer, but not unexpected at this price point. A black felt-edged screen helps with the shadow cast by digital zoom and keystone, so it's not a huge issue.Picture quality is actually surprisingly excellent. The colours are very deep without being oversaturated. Motion is good at 60hz. It's plenty bright for our light controlled cinema room, and even with the door open letting in some ambient light it's still perfectly watchable. Contrast is probably the biggest drawback - don't get me wrong it's fine, but you won't be seeing OLED levels of contrast here. Dark scenes can come off as more of a grey than black, but it's the nature of projection, particularly at this price point.I've mainly used it for movies, but did connect up my Xbox Series X and Switch 2 to play some games. They look amazing on the big screen and I didn't notice any input lag whatsoever.I did play with the built-in Google TV software a bit, and it's serviceable - but I mainly use an external Apple TV for streaming services. I've got a nice Plex library and this projector makes it so worth investing in local media.The included remote is small and solid. I run audio through a surround setup so can't comment on the built in speakers - but I can't imagine many people would go to the trouble of projection and not have an external sound system (even a basic soundbar).I'm not sure you could do better than this at the price. Anything with lens-shift or better contrast is going to cost a fair amount more. Solid recommendation and big thumbs up for value.”
Verified purchase“...been using for 15 days now...simply amazing 4K native projector.. 120+ inch projection from 10-11 ft distance...bought it after quite extensive research.....using in our living room projecting directly on plain wall, cream yellow, and the colors adapt/you can also set wall color in settings...Native Google TV, so apps work flawless, easy to i stall...I haven't watch TV in last 2-3 years the amount I've watched over last 15 days.. World Cup, wimbeldon, movies, series, you tube 4k, 8k videos....enjoyed with friends, family....very good brightness 3000 lumen, even with some ambient light...but better with light blocking curtains...sound is decent but I invested in a decent sound bar+woofer. Best Price, Features, Reliability”
