Who It's For
Is the TK710STi Right for Your Build?
Budget-Conscious 4K Builder
You want 4K laser quality without the premium price tag. The TK710STi delivers true 4K resolution and laser reliability at the lowest price of any 4K projector in our BenQ lineup: $700 less than the AK700ST.
First-Time Sim Builder
You are building your first golf simulator and want a projector you will not outgrow. 4K resolution and laser light source mean this projector grows with your setup for years.
Compact Space
Your room is tight and you cannot fit a standard-throw projector 10-15 feet back. The TK710STi fills a 120-inch screen from under 7.2 feet.
Entertainment Beyond Golf
Your sim room doubles as a home theater. The included Android TV dongle (QS02) streams Netflix, YouTube, and more. HDR10 and Dolby Atmos passthrough via eARC make movie nights just as impressive.
Upgrading from a Lamp Projector
Your current projector is dimming, running hot, or eating through bulbs. The TK710STi's laser source is rated for 20,000 hours with no lamp replacement.
Value-Focused Upgrade Path
Start with 4K laser quality now, and if you later want Golf Mode, IP5X dust protection, or curved screen support, the AK700ST is a natural step up.

Setup Guide
Get the Most Out of Your TK710STi
Six tips to get a perfect image from day one.
Ceiling Mount It
Overhead mounting eliminates swing interference and keeps cables clean. At only 6.8 lbs, the TK710STi works with most universal projector ceiling mounts.
Dial In the Image
Use the 1.2x optical zoom to size the image, then fine-tune with 3D keystone correction (H/V +/-30 degrees and rotation +/-30 degrees) for perfect alignment.
Connect via HDMI 2.0b
Two HDMI 2.0b ports means you can run your sim PC and the included Android TV dongle simultaneously. Use a high-speed HDMI cable for 4K/60Hz content.
Set Up Audio
Connect a soundbar or AV receiver via eARC for Dolby Atmos passthrough. The built-in 5W speaker works for basic use, but external audio improves the experience.
Pair with Quality Enclosure
A good enclosure setup makes a measurable difference in image quality. For 3,200 lumens, a controlled-light room with an ALR screen maximizes contrast.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How bright is the BenQ TK710STi and will it handle ambient light?
The TK710STi outputs 3,200 ANSI lumens via a laser light source. This is bright enough for dedicated sim rooms and spaces with controlled lighting. For rooms with significant ambient light (large windows, overhead fluorescents), consider blackout curtains for optimal contrast or step up to the AK700ST which offers 4,000 lumens.
What is the throw distance for the BenQ TK710STi?
The TK710STi has a 0.69-0.83:1 throw ratio. For a 100-inch screen, the projector sits approximately 5.0 to 6.0 feet from the screen. For a 120-inch screen, approximately 6.0 to 7.2 feet. For a 150-inch screen, approximately 7.5 to 9.0 feet. This short throw distance means you can mount the projector close to the screen, avoiding swing shadows entirely.
Is the TK710STi a laser or lamp projector?
The TK710STi uses a laser light source rated at 20,000 hours. Unlike traditional lamp-based projectors, the laser never needs replacement. At 4 hours of daily use, that is over 13 years of operation with no bulb changes and no lamp maintenance.
Can I ceiling-mount the BenQ TK710STi?
Yes. The TK710STi supports ceiling mounting with a 102.5% projection offset. Note that it does not include optical lens shift, so use the 3D keystone correction (H/V +/-30 degrees and rotation +/-30 degrees) plus the 1.2x optical zoom for image alignment after mounting. At only 6.8 lbs, it is compatible with most universal projector ceiling mounts. The BenQ CM00G3 ceiling mount is purpose-built for BenQ short throw projectors.
What is the input lag on the TK710STi?
Input lag is 16.7ms at 4K/60Hz: imperceptible during golf simulator use. In Game Mode at 1080p/240Hz, it drops to 4.2ms for competitive gaming. At 1080p/120Hz, it is 8.3ms. For golf simulators running at 4K/60Hz, the 16.7ms response ensures smooth swing-to-screen feedback with no noticeable delay.
How does the TK710STi compare to the BenQ AK700ST?
Both are 4K short-throw laser projectors from BenQ. The AK700ST ($2,899) offers 4,000 lumens, Golf Mode color calibration, IP5X dust protection, curved screen support, and a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The TK710STi ($2,199) delivers 3,200 lumens with HDR10/HLG, eARC with Dolby Atmos, and an included Android TV dongle at $700 less. If you need Golf Mode, curved screen support, or maximum brightness, choose the AK700ST. If you want 4K laser quality at the best price, the TK710STi delivers.
Does the TK710STi support HDR?
Yes. The TK710STi supports HDR10 and HLG with 95% Rec.709 color coverage and 1.07 billion display colors. Multiple picture modes including Cinema, HDR10, HDR FPS, and HDR RPG let you optimize for different content types.
What comes in the box?
The TK710STi includes an Android TV dongle (QS02) for streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube, a remote control (RCI074) with battery, a 1.8-meter power cord, and a quick start guide. The QS02 connects via the built-in USB port and supports 4K streaming.
Is 4K resolution necessary for a golf simulator?
4K resolution (3840x2160) provides four times the pixel density of 1080p. On large screens (100 inches and up), the difference is clearly visible in course graphics, green reading, and club data overlays. If you are investing $5,000 or more in a launch monitor and software, a 4K projector ensures the image quality matches the rest of your setup. For tighter budgets, the BenQ AH500ST ($1,999) delivers solid 1080p performance.
What screen size should I use with the TK710STi?
For most home simulators, a 100-120 inch impact screen delivers the best combination of immersion and image quality. With 3,200 lumens, sticking to 100-150 inches in a controlled-lighting room produces the best results.
How does Top Shelf Golf ship the TK710STi?
We ship the TK710STi free via FedEx. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days when in stock. The projector weighs 6.8 lbs and ships in BenQ's original packaging with all included accessories.
Does Top Shelf Golf offer financing for the BenQ TK710STi 3200-Lumen 4K Laser Short Throw Golf Simulator Projector?
Yes. Top Shelf Golf offers financing through Affirm with flexible monthly payment options. Select Affirm at checkout to check your rate: it takes seconds and won't affect your credit score. 0% APR options may be available depending on eligibility.
