Main trade-off
BenQ TK700
Its DLP color sequence and lack of lens shift can rule it out for some rooms and viewers.
Head-to-head
BenQ TK700 vs Epson Home Cinema 2350: BenQ fits closer, Epson avoids single-chip DLP rainbows
The short answer
Choose TK700 when a shorter lens distance is essential and DLP color breakup does not bother the viewers. Choose Epson 2350 when someone sees rainbows on single-chip DLP or vertical lens shift is needed. Plan Epson’s HDMI connections before adding both a console and an ARC soundbar.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Ten feet favors the BenQ for a 120-inch picture
A 120-inch 16:9 screen is about 104.6 inches wide. TK700’s lens range begins around 9.8 feet, while Epson’s begins around 11.5 feet. At ten feet, TK700 fits optically and 2350 does not. Reserve additional space behind the body for connections.
What this is based on
BenQ TK700: Throw range 1.127 to 1.46. Epson Home Cinema 2350: Throw range 1.32 to 2.15. Image width × throw ratio gives lens distance.
Main trade-off
Epson Home Cinema 2350
The longer throw and occupied HDMI ports complicate an otherwise convenient streaming setup.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Ten feet favors the BenQ for a 120-inch picture
A 120-inch 16:9 screen is about 104.6 inches wide. TK700’s lens range begins around 9.8 feet, while Epson’s begins around 11.5 feet. At ten feet, TK700 fits optically and 2350 does not. Reserve additional space behind the body for connections.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK700: Throw range 1.127 to 1.46. Epson Home Cinema 2350: Throw range 1.32 to 2.15. Image width × throw ratio gives lens distance.
Included streaming can still leave a family room needing a switch
On 2350, the Android TV device occupies one HDMI input. An ARC soundbar occupies the other. A console then needs cable swapping or suitable external switching or receiver routing. Count the complete setup rather than treating two HDMI sockets as two spare inputs.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK700: No included smart platform is assumed, so streaming and sound must be planned separately. Epson Home Cinema 2350: Two HDMI inputs, included streamer on one and ARC on the other.
One sensitive viewer can outweigh the shorter throw
If someone already sees rainbow flashes on single-chip DLP, Epson’s simultaneous-color 3LCD design addresses that specific mechanism. The room must still fit its longer throw. This is a display-technology distinction, not a claim that any projector treats eye discomfort.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK700: Single-chip DLP with sequential color. Epson Home Cinema 2350: 3LCD with simultaneous color. No medical outcome inferred.

BenQ TK700
Needs a manual checkNo complete verified optical range is stored for this exact model.
Epson Home Cinema 2350
Does not fit these inputsFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the manual-table lens range is about 11.58 to 18.80 ft. Your input is 9.50 ft. Optical fit only: use the 1.62x optical zoom and sturdy level, horizontally centered support within vertical-only lens shift. Allow body/cables, open underbody vents and the manual’s 10/20/30 cm clearance diagram. Test the actual image before mounting. Digital correction adds no optical range.
Distance is measured from the lens to the screen. The calculation uses a 16:9 image and the verified optical throw range for each exact model.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | BenQ TK700 | Epson Home Cinema 2350 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optical throw range | 1.127 to 1.46 | 1.32 to 2.15 | The same screen size can require a different shelf or mount. |
| Imaging | Single-chip DLP with sequential color | Three-chip 3LCD with simultaneous color | The Epson avoids the single-chip DLP color-sequencing mechanism. |
| Placement controls | 1.3x zoom, no optical lens shift | 1.62x zoom, vertical lens shift | Vertical shift can help with a high shelf, but does not create horizontal shift. |
| Streaming setup | External streaming device required | Included Android TV device uses one of two HDMI ports | Count remaining connections after attaching the included device. |
| Audio connection | Plan external audio for the exact source setup | The other HDMI port supports ARC | Using Epson’s streamer and an ARC soundbar leaves no free direct console input. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose BenQ TK700
- A streaming device is separate and needs a connection.
If you choose Epson Home Cinema 2350
- 4K PRO-UHD is pixel shifting. It does not mean native 4K imaging panels.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You need a 120-inch picture from around ten feet away
Choose BenQ TK700. Single-chip DLP color breakup is not an issue for your household
A viewer is sensitive to the single-chip DLP rainbow effect
Choose Epson Home Cinema 2350. The lens can sit at least about 11.5 feet from a 120-inch screen
