What You're Actually Getting.
True 4K UHD + HDR10 — Genuine 4K Detail
True native 4K UHD (3,840×2,160) — 8.3 million distinct pixels per frame, four times the resolution of Full HD. Every course texture, bunker shadow, fairway gradient, and data overlay renders at native 4K. For movies and sports, content shot in 4K plays at full resolution. HDR10 with BenQ's Auto HDR Color Rendition enhances brightness, contrast, and image depth across both simulation and cinema content. The 95% Rec.709 color coverage delivers cinematic-grade color accuracy without the price premium of flagship-tier projectors.
Android TV Built In — QS02 Dongle Included
Most projectors at this price hand you a 4K-capable display and then expect you to add a separate streaming stick to actually watch anything. The TK710STi includes the BenQ QS02 Android TV dongle right in the box — Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, Plex, and any other Android TV app work directly from the projector remote. No second device. No HDMI input switching. No second remote on the coffee table. The QS02 occupies one HDMI port and leaves the second free for your sim PC or game console.
Laser Light Source — 20,000 Hours, IP5X Sealed
The IP5X-sealed laser engine delivers 20,000 hours of consistent 4K output — no lamp replacements, no brightness degradation, no warm-up time. The sealed design eliminates filter cleaning and maintains reliability in the dust, carpet fibers, and airborne particles common in garage and basement sim environments. 600,000:1 dynamic contrast with real-time laser adjustment delivers richer shadow detail in dark scenes and sharper highlights in bright ones. Laser brightness remains stable from hour one to hour 20,000.
Short Throw + 4K Gaming + eARC Dolby Atmos
The 0.69–0.83 short throw ratio keeps the projector safely behind the golfer — out of the swing path. A 100" image projects from just 5–6 feet; a 120" screen from 6–7.2 feet. 102.5% offset minimizes tilt and keystone requirements. For gaming, 16ms input lag at 1080p/60Hz is responsive enough for sim software and casual console gaming, with dual HDMI 2.0b ports supporting 4K@60Hz and 1080p@120Hz from PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC. eARC via HDMI delivers Dolby Atmos passthrough to a soundbar or AV receiver. 3D keystone ±30° on all axes plus picture rotation ±30° for any mounting position.
