Best praise vs top criticism for BenQ TK710

Best Praise
+5 pts
ā€œI would get the TK710 or TK710STi from BenQ. DLP is better with sports and fast motion than LCD models and the TK710 is well reviewed so far. It compares favorably to the X500i. Laser light source which is nice and bright is a bonus. Plus it uses the larger .66" DMD which should be more reliable. I'd skip the TK860 which I think still uses lamps and uses the smaller and less reliable .47" DMD.ā€

ā€œI wouldn’t recommend the tk710, I had one and it had this weird pattern on the screen, apparently quite common in DLP (it’s dithering from the mirrors) https://youtu.be/j44HDvSbvSw?si=1pHTjkcjUNTzC2-1 BenQ said it was ā€œnormalā€, I returned it as it was visible in dark content from a viewing distance of around 2m. It was also quite noisy and the DLP high frequency flicker gave me a headache after a while. If you’re used to LCD I would definitely try a DLP first before buying. I’m on the lookout for a similar projector to yourself too. The Epson still seems to win best in price range from various places despite it being from 2019. My only worry would be it might be upgraded or replaced fairly soon, but nothing at CES so who knows.ā€
