TK710STi
4K UHD laser short-throw with 3,200 ANSI lumens and gaming-grade input lag (4ms at 1080p/240Hz, 16.7ms at 4K/60Hz). The community default for sub-$2,500 4K sim builds in 2026 — replaces the lamp-based TK700STi at the recommended mid tier.

Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Recreational Player
True 4K with laser life and HDR — the courses look genuinely impressive and the projector lasts the life of the room.
- Performance Seeker
16.7ms input lag at 4K is well under the 30ms tolerance threshold; 95% Rec. 709 color and laser stability support serious data review.
- Family Setup
4ms gaming lag at 1080p makes this a legitimately great gaming projector in addition to a sim and movie projector — best multi-use mid pick.
Not for
- Cost-Effective Buyer
$2,199 stretches budget builds; the TK700STi (lamp) or GT2100HDR (laser, 1080p) are smarter cost-effective picks.
- Space-Constrained
Manual zoom and focus mean ladder access after install; tight rooms benefit more from AH500ST's tighter throw and motorized features.
- Showroom
47 dB fan noise is loud for a quiet showroom; no Golf Mode, no Auto Screen Fit, no IP-sealed engine. AK700ST or LK936ST are the showroom answers.
