Its higher-refresh capability remains unconfirmed. Choose TK710 when its documented 1080p/240 mode is required.
Head-to-head
BenQ TK705i vs BenQ TK710: 705i favors 4K60, 710 keeps high-refresh 1080p
The short answer
Choose TK705i for a simple Google TV and 4K/60 console setup, especially closer to the screen. Choose TK710 if 1080p high-refresh gaming or a farther rear mount matters more. TK705i’s faster published 4K/60 response does not give it TK710’s high-refresh formats.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
One shelf can reverse the gaming recommendation
At nine feet for 120 inches, TK705i fits and TK710 does not. At twelve feet, the result reverses. Measure from the lens before treating either as the universal gaming winner.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK705i: 1.0 to 1.3 gives 8.72 to 11.33 ft. BenQ TK710: 1.15 to 1.5 gives 10.02 to 13.07 ft.
Fast 4K/60 is different from high-refresh gaming
TK705i’s published 5 ms response is lower at 4K/60. TK710 positively documents a 1080p/240 mode, while higher-refresh support on TK705i remains unconfirmed. A console game capped at 60 and a high-frame-rate PC game can therefore lead to different choices.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK705i: 5 ms at 4K/60. The US page lists 23 to 60 Hz, while the manual lists a 23 to 120 Hz scan range and timing tables only up to 60 Hz. Higher-refresh support remains unconfirmed. BenQ TK710: 16.7 ms at 4K/60 and 4.2 ms at 1080p/240.
Built-in streaming reduces the equipment around the sofa
TK705i includes Google TV. TK710 needs a separate source, its power connection and an HDMI socket. When the projector sits on a small table used by children or pets, fewer external pieces are a practical convenience. Mains cables still need a safe route.
How we reached this conclusion
BenQ TK705i: Built-in Google TV. BenQ TK710: External streaming device required.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | BenQ TK705i | BenQ TK710 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120-inch placement | About 8.7 to 11.3 ft | About 10.0 to 13.1 ft | Only part of the optical ranges overlaps. |
| 4K/60 latency | 5 ms, published | 16.7 ms, published | The lower figure applies to this exact format. |
| High-refresh formats | Higher-refresh support unconfirmed | 1080p/240 with 4.2 ms published latency | Latency and refresh rate are separate buying constraints. |
| Streaming | Built-in Google TV | External streamer required | The separate device occupies an input and needs power. |
| Light engine | 4LED, 3,000 ANSI lumens | Laser, 3,200 ANSI lumens | Both avoid routine lamp replacement. The rating gap is small. |
