Overall the BenQ does what it sets out to do and that is to be a party centre-piece for BBQ’s in the garden while watching the World Cup or 4K premiership football via Sky or BT. It is designed to be used and then put away, projected against a white wall or bed sheet.

Also expect excellent motion handling, which is great for gaming, and it has a low input lag which is also good news for gamers. (The BenQ even supports 3D, although you will need to buy the glasses separately.)Suitable for projectors with hanging holes within a size of 11.8in (L) x 9.8in (W). Adjustable Length 1.3 ft (116mm) ~ 1.9 ft (578 mm); spaced every 0.738ft (22.5mm) BenQ also state that the TK800 has auto HDR optimised colour rendition technology which matches the content to the native capabilities of the projector, to try and give a bright and more colourful image, over normal HD material. However the TK800 will only get close to the HD Rec.709 colour standard and nowhere near the current DCI-P3 gamut being used by Hollywood on UHD Blu-rays and the like within the Rec.2020 container. This means the projector is not wide colour gamut compatible, it will display UHD Blu-ray and other wide colour material in the Rec.709 HD standard. So again, it is worth cutting through some of the marketing to get to the actual performance parameters. Rec.709 done correctly is perfectly fine for this projector and the price point; it can look stunning when done correctly, we just feel BenQ need to be a little clearer on the specifications and less vague with the marketing.

And while 3D seems to be a dying feature for TVs nowadays it has found a sanctuary in the projectors segment as there are many models that keep supporting it. And the TK800M continues this trend by not only supporting 3D content but also comes with improved functionality compared to the TK800. As such the TK800M can automatically select the correct timing as well as support 3D auto switching when the appropriate content is detected. You might be looking for a projector to upgrade your home entertainment setup. Compared to a TV, a projector offers a unique cinema experience. Home theater models can also work with your surround sound system, as many of them have analog audio output in addition to USB-C and HDMI ports. in your room. The position of the projector in your room changes because you will need to move the projector closer or further away from the screen As such it scores a reasonable 7 out of 10 as a portable home entertainment and sports projector - because it does that role very well. Whether that market needs faux 4K as opposed to ‘just’ a 1080p model is a question for the intended end user to think about and decide on. Our mission is to empower you to find the product you’re looking for and get exactly the information you need to make the right buying decision.It looks identical to its predecessor, the TK800. It is a compact DLP projector with a curved white shell and a blue color accent plate on the front. At only 9.2 pounds, transporting it outside for a movie night under the stars is no problem. There are two adjustable rear feet and a wide adjustable foot at the front to adjust image height when sitting on a flat surface. Three M4-sized mounting screw points are on the bottom for a ceiling mount.

Sport Picture Mode renders realistic skin shades, warm wood tones, and vivid reds with balanced green and blue for stunning big-screen projection of fast-paced indoor sports action on wooden courts. And Sport Sound Mode accentuates the announcer's commentary and clear acoustic details of squeaking sneakers, referee whistles, and scraping skates in an indoor arena.Countering the trapezoid effect when the projector must be placed off-center, such as simple placement on top of a table, the vertical keystone function adjusts the image for a professionally squared image. Keystone correction makes it simple to project ideally aligned images from a variety of locations. Place the BenQ projector at the right distance to maximize visual enjoyment, key in the number and let the “Throw Distance Calculator” do the math for you.

Monitors and TVs are still better for gaming, but take note that the BenQ TK800M’s input lag score is in the upper limits for projectors. We highly recommend this model if you are shopping for an entertainment all-arounder that does 4K HDR extremely well at a reasonable price. The TK800M is marketed as a “sports” projector that is sacrificing color accuracy for better brightness but this doesn’t mean that it cannot be used in a home theater or home cinema room. BenQ took everything that was good with the old TK800 model and improved upon it with the end product being more than impressive. But the real question is how much better the TK800M is compared to it’s predecessor?We are always transparent about where our information comes from so that you don’t have to waste time and money buying the wrong thing. Next comes Vivid TV with 2753 lumens that BenQ suggest to use in rooms with some amount of ambient light while Cinema offers the lower brightness of the three with 2617 measured lumens and is mostly recommended for completely dark rooms or areas with very little light. A projection calculator is used to calculate a screen size when a projector is a specific distance away from the screen. As you move a projector The other big feature is support for High Dynamic Range, specifically HDR10. Thanks to BenQ’s Auto HDR Colour Rendition technology, the TK800 can deliver HDR with greater brightness and contrast range than SDR. There are also image optimisation features designed to bring out all the detail in a 4K source. The TK800 has an optical system designed for 4K resolution, which means it uses high-grade glass for superior image quality. A precision seven-element, four-group lens array allows for greater light penetration at higher resolutions, and a low-dispersion lens coating minimizes chromatic aberrations and allows for improved clarity.
