Thank you so very much for showing me some gameplay from the PS5. I have a old Epson projector that need a serious upgrade and I believe that you convinced me to get the Benq TK700sti :) Will order in a few weeks! Thank you again for such a great review done with clarity, professionalism and extremely informative! Excellent work!!!
@@sol_4real I absolutely love mine. What a difference it was from my very old projector!!! The image is super clear and crisp. Only trouble for connecting the PS5 and my movie theater sound system. Took me a few minutes to find a way, but took a few deep breath and boom I figure it out. I unfortunately, I cannot vouched for the TV dongle, since I do not use it. Other than that, it is an excellent piece of technology. Remind you though that this is a short throw, and it can be very tricky to fit the size of display you want (that was my biggest frustration with the product). Let me know if you get it, and how you are enjoying your new toy :)
@@AngelOfGrace sorry to jump in the conversation but I'm just curious what the running noise level is like of the projector? while watching movies , quiet scenes etc? Thought it's a valid question as for most people the projector is going to be quite close to their seating position. What does the short throw problem cause? Thanks in advance
@@ThePaulg123 My projector is right behind me (middle of the coach) sitting on a low shelf. The noise is really low, and does not in any case bother me while watching movies. I am 100% satisfied with it. I would say go for it.
I love this projector. I'm trying to decide between the x3000i and the tk700sti. The x3000i has slightly better colour accuracy but as i only have a small room the tk700sti will get me a bigger image. Both have 4k 60. My room is only 8 feet so I'm not sure i would get a very big screen with the x3000i. It's such a hard decision.
When it comes to projectors, you reall want to sit down and get the numbers right! Measure out the space, check projection distance calculators and see what throw distance works best for you, then check out what screens work for the space (unless you have a white wall!) and then choose based on that!
This looks like such a fantastic "bit of everything projector" (4K, HDR, great for gaming), but no ARC or eARC at all? Not even freaking optical out? Man that's a huge bummer.
It's really not. If you're worried about your audio you a few options. A true AVR stereo that has two HDMI ports or a soundbar with two HDMI ports. You can run one HDMI cable from your audio source and the other end to your projector.
At first I found it weird 'cause why not just integrate it within the projector itself but then realized, this gives the option to remove it and use it on another device!
I have the mumba battle case and deluxe plus carrying case, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have those amazing products!! Love your switch accesories videos!
Great review. Any plans on doing an Optoma UHD 38 review? It seems very similar to the Benq 700sti, I but l can't find any reviews of it. Thanks in advance.
It wouldn't be my first choice for movies but from what we've watched on it, it's much better than expected for a DLP projector! The elevated black levels help a lot, especially in DVR and I played with the color correction to get as close a look as my OLED tv but if you're a stickler for the details, i'd suggest Project Centrals review, they cover a lottt of those details: www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK700STi-Review.htm
We used to all the time! The problem is that the prices would change after the video and people would view and judge it at that previous price so they wouldn't give it a chance. For example, we're about to release a video with a $100 controller, I just checked and it dropped down to $79 which COMPLETELY would of messed up anything I said at that price :O
Haven't tried that one out but for the most part, Optoma has a solid reputation albeit I heard that the 4k in that one is a bit odd due to the chip they use :O? I gotta get my hands on it though to make sure!
I’m looking for a golf sim projector. I’m Concerned about the 3000 lumens and low contrast ratio in an average ambient lighted room...would love your opinion. Thank
Hey Bo! Sadly, it can't :[ We tested the keystone before entering game mode so wasn't able to note it until after the fact. Apparently, the reason is because keystone adjustment can increase the input lag so they just disable it in that mode. I know each space is different, but i'd recommend avoiding keystone to get the best possible performance out of a projector like this!
@@999universe999 this unit doesn't even have vertical shift. It seems the newer projectors have gotten worse than the 1-3 year old projectors. After an extensive search I bought the optoma hd28hdr for $700. Looks like 4k is almost a hoax.
What's with the projector trend recently? Regardless great content and seems like a really good project. Would love to see one with 4K 120Hz. Maybe in the future! Still amazing to see a projector that can support high framerates at lower res though.
I think it's because TV's are just getting a bit boring :O It's getting to the point where projectors can almost match specs with new TV's but they give you a larger screen, more versatility and they're also crowd pleasers! Playing on a massive screen in multiplayer is a blast and it makes it worth going over to someone's house to experience it :D
i want the projector your talking about in this video, because this one right here!!!!! aint the one!!! what a waste of my pension money. i might be slightly blind but i can still see junk when its infront of my eyess
If you're going to go with a projector please, Please, PLEASE for the love of God hook it up to a decent home theater for audio and not some dinky ass audio connection. You'll thank me later.....
I wish!! because we have kids, we're currently using Bluetooth headphones 😭 we also live in a townhouse so loud speakers get our neighbors pretty pissed off 😭😭😭
@@itcamefromabox yeah but how much does a lamp cost? I asked ben q the didn t gave me an answear. When you use the beamer 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I get the number 1920 per year so in 2 years you need to change. Of course there is a lamp safe mode with 15 k hours. but i like the beamer
@@thesecretagent3443 the average price is about $300 for a replacement bulb but as someone who has purchased extra bulbs in case of anything happening to the current one, I can tell you that at least in my case I've never had to replace a bulb in any of our projectors over the last 20 years :0 regardless if your fear is replacing the bulb towards the end of life of the first one, you're probably better off looking at laser projectors!
@@itcamefromabox first i wanna say the video is very well done! Like it a lot. My only concern are the bulbs. Anything else looks very nice. I play a lot and watch stuff on netflix and amazon. And gaming with fhd in 240 fps or 4k60 is awesome. And the price is very good. But sadly the beamer is sold out in my country.. But thanks for the response. You ve got a great channel
@@thesecretagent3443 Appreciate it! I'd say wait it out too because we're just starting to see what projectors have to offer the gaming world :D Sure we're gonna get some awesome new tech soon!
Wtheck, which have 20k hours :O?! Also, if that's the case, i'm guessing the tech affects their life. On top of that, like with mouse clicks, i'm guessing a majority of users never reach those life cycles.
@@itcamefromabox www.benq.com/en-us/projector/gaming-projector/tk700sti/specifications.html its on there website normal is 4k hours that's nothing. say u watch 4 hours a day that's about 3 years maybe its normal I'm used to seeing the LED 20k hours as advertised. ... i would reach more then 4 hours a day in 3 years if i owned this .. it also states 15k hours under lamp save but i can't imagine how dim that would be.
Can anyone help me, should I go for tk850i or tk700 ? Only casual gaming ...i watch movies only..as in India there is a price difference also .850 is 25% higher priced from 700...so should I prefer 850i or go with 700..

Great video. I think a cool video idea would be a budget switch setup so like the accessories needed to have a good setup within a budgrt
Love that idea Bailey, we'll start planning something out!
And thats how one should do the review.. All info are in place.. Well done Mate..
Thanks brother, appreciate you!!
Awesome review. So useful and it’s great you covered so many gaming and entertainment platforms.
what about the rainbow effect? is it noticeable in dynamic and fast games?

Can you use a wifi sound bar, like the Sonos, with this projector? Thanks!
What did you use to mount that Xbox at 0:39?
Good video keep it up! 👍👍
Thanks so much Jacob! Appreciate ya bud :D
You say upgrade I say major upgrade
But for real live your vids dude
Definitely :O You'll be seeing it in our upcoming videos too! :D Thanks for watching!
What screen are you using?
may i use TWS wireless headphone with this projector?
Great review. Any plans on doing an Optoma UHD 38 review? It seems very similar to the Benq 700sti, I but l can't find any reviews of it. Thanks in advance.
Currently saving up for it!! These videos get so expensive lollll Heard a lot of great things about it though!!
Any projector screen recommendations?
Please Good Sir,
I would very much so like to see some Splatoon 3 Turf Wars, and how well it translates on the BenQ700STI
What stand are you using to put the projector on?
I love this channel. Always great info.
Can it project image bigger than 120'' that still looks good?
How’s it work for movies? Heard it’s got bad color reproduction
It wouldn't be my first choice for movies but from what we've watched on it, it's much better than expected for a DLP projector!

What are the black lvls like?
If u ever do any more accessory videos I think putting the price up there

Another great video 👏👏 but for real though, check out that rear end
Love ya love
Hi can I plug in an SSD and watch movies in kodi?
Can I play movies from USB with an External hard drive?
is the only difference between this and the reg 700, the throw distance?
yes and I don't think the other has a dongle! st = short throw and the i = intelligent (the Android dongle)
@@itcamefromabox ahhhhh, ty so much! I shall get that one since i can simply use my ps5 for media use. you’re amazing!
This or the UHD38?
Haven't tried that one out but for the most part, Optoma has a solid reputation albeit I heard that the 4k in that one is a bit odd due to the chip they use :O? I gotta get my hands on it though to make sure!
Can I place on shelf above my head or ceiling mount
Of course! We're gonna mount it overhead soon!
What screen do you use?
It's an Elite Screen and a Taotronics one, both are in the description :D
Well done good sir!
Thanks brother! Appreciate ya :D
I’m looking for a golf sim projector. I’m Concerned about the 3000 lumens and low contrast ratio in an average ambient lighted room...would love your opinion. Thank
Are you finally back is it really happening?
I never left! If anything, we slow down cause life gets tough BUT we'll never leave :D
Did keystone correction revert to default when you turn on fastmode/gamemode?
Yep no keystone in that mode
