At the same time, the luminous flux of 3,000 lumens is enough for it to create a completely bright picture on such a canvas without completely darkening the room.\u00a0The &#8220;life&#8221; of the lamp in this mode is about 4,000 hours, but in the economical mode, with a decrease in brightness by about 40%, it increases to an impressive 15,000 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the parameters turned out to be more modest.\u00a0The zoom factor is only 1.2, there is no lens shift, and the color gamut does not reach rec.709, making up only 96% of the area of \u200b\u200bthe HDTV standard, although this model has support for HDR video at the inputs.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e09fc36-337e-423b-9b3c-629af6d4bb03.jpg\" width=\"929\" height=\"346\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The cost of BenQ TK700STi has been announced so far only for the United States &#8211; it was about $ 1,700 excluding taxes.<\/p>\n<p>[ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is an opinion that the days of projectors are numbered &#8211; they will be &#8220;killed&#8221; by inexpensive large TVs.\u00a0However, projector manufacturers have a few other trump cards up their sleeves.
