BenQ
LK936ST
4K laser short-throw projector with 20,000+ hour life. No lamp replacement for the practical life of the room. The newer AK700ST is the BenQ flagship; the LK936ST remains the right pick specifically for bright showroom rooms requiring >4,500 lumens or commercial features.
Released 2022
Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Showroom
5,100 lumens handles full showroom lighting with no compromise. Laser engine + 20,000+ hour life means no maintenance for the practical life of the room.
- Performance Seeker
Brightness and color accuracy hold up to bright-room data review; the right pick when ambient light is real.
Not for
- Cost-Effective Buyer
$3,499 is laser-flagship pricing — the AH700ST or GT2100HDR cover cost-effective needs at a fraction.
- Recreational Player
Overkill for casual play; the TK710STi delivers excellent 4K at $1,300 less.
- Space-Constrained
Throw geometry assumes a deep dedicated room; not the answer for tight or low-ceiling installs.
- Family Setup
The TK710STi covers multi-use family needs at well under half the price.
