This BenQ Projector Turns Your Wall into a 150" Netflix Screen

BenQ has launched the TK705i in the UAE, pitching it as an “all-in-one” living-room projector: bright 4K visuals, built-in Google TV streaming, and quick auto setup so you’re not spending half the night fixing a wonky picture. It also leans into console gaming with HDMI 2.1 features and low input lag.

If you’re after the “big screen” vibe without turning your lounge into a dedicated home theatre, this is the lane BenQ is aiming for.

What the BenQ TK705i is (and who it’s for)

TK705i is a home entertainment projector designed for mixed use: movies, sport, streaming, and casual-to-serious console gaming in normal rooms.

• 4K UHD projection
• Designed for living rooms (not just dark cinema rooms)
• Supports big screens up to 150 inches

BenQ’s own messaging is pretty clear: this is for people who want a clean setup that works day-to-day, not a “weekend project” involving ceiling mounts and spreadsheets. Expect it to suit apartments and open-plan living spaces where you can’t always control lighting.

Picture quality: bright 4K with colour accuracy

The headline spec is 3,000 ANSI lumens, paired with BenQ’s colour and HDR processing to keep the image punchy even when your room isn’t pitch black.

• CinematicColor for colour tuning
• 98% Rec.709 colour accuracy claim BenQ
• HDR-PRO with global + local HDR enhancement

In plain terms: Rec.709 is the colour standard used for a lot of TV and streaming content. BenQ is basically saying the TK705i aims to show colours closer to what creators intended, instead of that oversaturated “shop demo mode” look.

Setup and placement: less fiddling, more watching

BenQ is pushing speed and convenience with 8-way Smart Image Adaptation — a bundle of tools that help align the image quickly.

• Auto focus
• Auto 2D keystone (vertical + horizontal correction)
• Optical/digital zoom tools (as listed by BenQ)
• Short-throw lens for big images in smaller spaces

This matters in UAE homes where you might be projecting from a media console, a shelf, or a side table depending on the room. The less time you spend “fixing the rectangle”, the more likely you’ll actually use the projector on a random Tuesday.

Built-in Google TV streaming (no extra box needed)

Streaming is built in via Google TV, with access to major services like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube.

• Google TV interface for apps and recommendations
• Voice control support (via Google Assistant in BenQ’s app experience)
• Mobile app control options

If you’ve already got a streaming box, you may not care. But if you don’t, built-in Google TV is one less gadget (and one less HDMI port) to deal with.

Gaming and connectivity: HDMI 2.1, ALLM, and low lag

BenQ is clearly courting console players with HDMI 2.1 features and a low-lag spec that’s easy to understand.

• HDMI 2.1 with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode)
• 5ms input lag at 4K/60Hz
• USB-C with up to 30W power delivery
• Bluetooth 5.2 for easier audio setups
