BenQ, with its expertise in bringing the best projectors to market, is launching two new models with both gaming and affordability in mind. And they could be great alternatives to the best OLED TVs.

These long-throw laser projectors have exciting specs and features that are particularly interesting in the projector market. These include images up to 100 inches, brightness of 3,200 ANSI lumens, HDR10 support, and a 20,000-hour lifespan.

While neither the TK710 nor the TK710STi are superior to the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 in terms of specs, BenQ's new projector brings ample gaming capabilities to the ecosystem. BenQ claims that the TK710 offers 4.2ms for 1080p gaming and 16.7ms input latency for 4K games at 60Hz.

While not as good as traditional TVs, the recent LG C4 OLED offers 9.2ms input lag for 4K games.

It's no secret that BenQ is in the fray, offering exceptional value backed by the best gaming features in several of its products; the BenQ X3100i is one example, and is always one of the best projectors for gaming.

BenQ's new projectors, called the TK710 and TK710STi, may make gaming with OLEDs seem like yesterday. These new projectors will be released after the BenQ TK700 and utilize a new laser-enhanced light to deliver an amazing 3200 ANSI lumens.

Both projectors have a maximum image size of 100 inches, but the projection distance is different, as the TK710 reaches this size at a distance of 2.5 meters, while the TK710STi reaches 100 inches at 1.5 meters. The TK710STi also comes with a dongle that interfaces with Android TV, which is not ideal for users expecting Roku or Google TV, and users who purchase the TK710 will not receive the OS out of the box.

At $1,799 and $1,999 respectively, the TK710 and TK710STi are quite affordable among much more expensive options in the projector field, such as the $3,500 Formovie Theater and the aforementioned BenQ X3100i (about $2,400).2 Against some top OLED TVs, such as the Samsung S95D, which starts at $3,599, and the Sony Bravia XR A95L OLED TV for $3,299, the BenQ projector looks promising.

Nevertheless, it is clear that BenQ has cheapened itself a bit in its design, as neither projector features HDMI 2.1 inputs for improved gaming features such as ALLM and VRR on the latest gaming consoles. Also, if you're thinking of owning one of BenQ's newest projectors, we recommend getting one of their best soundbars.

The BenQ TK710 and TK710STi 4K projectors will be available on July 23, and BenQ's store page is already taking pre-orders.
