BenQ TK800M review
BenQ TK800M Review: 4K UHD Projector
The BenQ TK800M projector offers a high amount of brightness for movies and gaming, even in moderately bright rooms. The BenQ projector, however, creates images that are clear, detailed, and have high color accuracy. The home and gaming projector is capable of supporting HDR video and offers more color options and greater contrast than non-HDR projectors. Yet, the HDR performance is not as efficient as projectors that support Dolby Vision or HDR10+. The BenQ is a great choice for gaming with a low input lag of 8.3ms and low motion blur.
Setup
In order to set up the projector, unbox it and take out the projector set, accessories, and BenQ TK800M manual. Find a suitable location to set up your projector and ensure the projector seats on a level and stable surface. However, you can adjust the feet to position the image on the screen. Next, connect the power cord to the projector and plug it into an electrical outlet. Connect your video source — Blu-ray, computer, or gaming console — to the BenQ projector with an HDMI cable or other compatible video cable. Now, turn on your video source and turn on the TK800M projector by holding down the power button on the projector itself or the remote control.
Adjust the image projected with the focus ring on the lens and use the keystone correction feature (automatic or manual) to adjust the image's shape to your liking. You can also zoom in or out to get the desired image size or adjust the contrast, brightness, and color settings if necessary. As for sound, you can use the built-in speakers or connect an external speaker to the projector's audio output.
Features
Furthermore, the BenQ TK800M 4K offers a 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, allowing you to see more detail and clarity than by using Full HD. Even in well-lit rooms, the home projector's 3000 ANSI lumens with high brightness provide brilliant, vibrant pictures. Additionally, it supports HDR10 technology, which enhances contrast and color resulting in a more realistic viewing experience. When viewing and streaming sports events, the projector is a fantastic choice because it comes with a Sports Mode that boosts the detail and color of moving pictures.
You won't need external speakers to enjoy your favorite movies or video games because of the project's built-in 5-watt speakers. Moreover, the projector sports a smart remote control with a built-in microphone for voice control, offering an intuitive interface for easy navigation. The projector comes with two HDMI, USB, an audio output jack, a 12V DC output terminal, and an RS-232 control port.
Design
It is evident from the BenQ TK800M review that the unit features a compact DLP design with a curved white shell and blue color accents on the front. The projector is designed with a two-tone color scheme — a white body and a blue face giving it a modern and elegant look. It sports one wide adjustable foot in front and two adjustable rear feet to adjust image height on even or uneven surfaces. The three M4 mounting screw holes for the ceiling mount are located at the bottom of the projector.
At the bottom, you will find three M4-sized mounting screw points for the ceiling mount. On top of the projector, there is a control panel with five navigation buttons, the Power, Source, Mode, Back, and Menu, and the Eco Blank buttons alongside three LED indicators. In addition, there is a turquoise accent around the lens, which is positioned in front of the projector. The ventilation system keeps the device cool during operation and is located on the sides and front of the projector.
Conclusion
This TK800M review shows that the BenQ home and gaming projector has a functional and modern look. However, it offers excellent image quality, convenience, and versatility for home entertainment. The projector's 3000 lumens also offer high radiance and crisp image quality and low input lag. The Sports Mode makes this projector an amazing choice for sports fans and gamers. The connectivity options allow for easy connection to a range of devices.
