    So i'm looking for a gaming projector. Was going to go with the BenQ TK700STi until I saw this on for sale.

    Can anyone share there experience with BenQ TK700STi / Optoma UHZ45 and buying from B&H?

    • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 00:06

      The competition for this one posted is the X3000i that costs 3k!

      • Mattosulliv on 08/01/2023 - 02:01

        From my quick research, i refer the BenQ TK700STi over X3000i. But I haven't tested any so I can't really comment.

        It 'sounds' like both are good for gaming but the BenQ TK700STi might be a bit better for movies. + the TK700 is $700 cheaper than the X3000i. Both of those projectors are LED, where the Optoma UHZ45 is laser.

        • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 02:27

          Benq x3000i is better than tk700sti in any situation. It is in another league.

      The Benq flagship in this space is the x3000i - this is the model to beat in the $3K laser (LED) space

      See my other post further down for the review link - unless your room can't physically accommodate the x3000i, then it's the one to get 👍

      • TEER3X on 08/01/2023 - 12:41

        Better than the BenQ w1070?

        • Nom on 09/01/2023 - 16:23

          Not sure if serious.

          The w1070 is 10 years old, not 4K, uses a lamp, and has like half the colour reproduction of the X3000i.

          • TEER3X on 11/01/2023 - 18:03

            @Nom: Not serious, but the 1070 was the king of budget projectors at the time

  • HojuGuy on 08/01/2023 - 00:41

    I have bought from them physically but never had something shipped. There NYC store is pretty impressive.

    I have the optoma UHD35+ that I got on an ebay eofy sale last year for $1700. Looks like this is the model replacing it.

    It's an awesome dumb projector, can see everything clear as in daylight, gaming is quick.

    Cons are is it gets hot. like hot hot, you need the aircon on. Fan noise is less than the aircon so you don't notice. And the o/s is very basic, in 2023 one would assume a smarter device, this one is basically just text prompts, can be hard and annoying to get your settings right.

    Definitely worth the buy, for an extra grand I'm not sure it's worth it as you can get ultra short throws for around the same price with similar specs.

    • Mattosulliv on 08/01/2023 - 02:03

      yeah, i did consider the Optoma UHD35+ at first. But now it's between BenQ TK700STi or Optoma UHZ45.

    • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 02:33

      The replacement for the UHD35 is the UHD55. Both lamp base.

    Supports 3d from bluray, not sure if it's active or passive though

    • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 02:29

      Active. Passive needs 2 projectors

      • Jackson on 08/01/2023 - 11:17

        Does it though? My understanding is that with the advent of 4k,some sort of interlacing is now possible to produce FHD 3d using only one LCD. I could be mistaken, but I know that's what the case is with TV's (although I only ever heard of one TV that did it, which was the last true Toshiba before they stopped making 3d tvs and the tvs all together). It may have been an non polished system like anaglyph/red blue

        The two projector method I saw was a guy hacked a version using 2 projectors and some polarising filters, so that you only saw one projector image for each eye.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 08/01/2023 - 01:14

    What are you planning on for screen?

  • qld1960 on 08/01/2023 - 01:14

    Do you know if this has a warranty in Australia

    • Mattosulliv on 08/01/2023 - 01:56

      not sure. I've emailed them a few questions. waiting for there response

      • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 02:30

        Please keep us posted. I am holding the purchase due to that.

        • Nom on 08/01/2023 - 11:14

          You'll need to contact Optoma Australia to see if they will cover the US model.

          BH warranty isn't going to help you because it'll cost you $hundreds to ship the projector back to the US !

    I've purchased through them a few times and they are rock solid. For this item definitely check out warranty coverage as well as import duty costs.

      I've bought a bunch of expensive camera equipment from B&H over the years. No reservations about buying from them at all.

  • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 02:32

    Looks like the price has increase. For almost 2700 It is not worth It. Benq x3000i appears for 2800 from ebay now and again when the 10% sales off is avaliable.

  • Kanjus on 08/01/2023 - 07:00

    240 volts compatible??
    Edit… yes

  • Maadmaax on 08/01/2023 - 08:23

    I have bought all of the in-wall speakers in my home theatre from them. Prices were hundreds of $ cheaper than here. But one of the speakers didn't come with the front grill. After a couple of emails with photos, they send me the replacement part.

  • Maadmaax on 08/01/2023 - 08:34

    I am currently building a new home theatre and was strongly considering the new Epson LS12000. But this one looks more value….

    • Whoopie on 08/01/2023 - 11:22

      Epson ls12000 is miles ahead of this

      • Dienk on 08/01/2023 - 12:31

        Almost 3x the price lol

        • Maadmaax on 08/01/2023 - 13:03

          From its release it has come down almost 1800$… Other option would be to settle down with tw9400… I was mainly looking for the lens memory option and to use CinemaScope screen..

        • DisasterArea on 27/01/2023 - 14:46
          +1

          Bought the LS12000 locally (selby boxing day sales) for $6999 , which is quite a lot.
          Lens shift and Zoom made it simple to install (all powered), as well as decent lens position memory when you go full cinemascope.

          Personally I was never a fan of DLP because I can see rainbows and it gives me a headache in minutes. Pleased with 4k @120hz on the Epson though, good match for an xbox series X

          Only issue I had is the inbuilt house cabling can't handle 4k/120, cannot even handle 4k, so I had to feed signal in HDMI1, and pull audio out the eARC HDMI2 back to the AV amp… This limits me to one input… luckily the xbox pretty much has everything covered in that regard, and I can put 1080P sources into the amp anyway.

    You can pickup the very highly regarded Benq x3000i for slightly more directly in AU - Rio regularly have 10% codes off this price - https://www.rio.com.au/product/benq-x3000i-4k-uhd-gaming-pro…

    https://www.avsforum.com/threads/benq-x3000i-4k-hdr-dci-p3-4… for the review

    • fridgejam on 08/01/2023 - 11:55

      Just checked out the review and this projector looks fantastic. May be time to upgrade!

      • Nom on 09/01/2023 - 16:25

        Good timing - Rio have a 10% code live right now according to their homepage…

    "Has anyone bought from B&H before and want to share there experience?"
    Everything is fine, but if you have a problem with a malfunctioning item you are left to fend for yourself.

    I purchased a OEM HDD that was DOA from Day 1… B&H refused the refund as I throw away the plain cardboard box it came in… I had to send it back to WD in Vietnam at my own cost to get a replacement.

  • preasm14 on 08/01/2023 - 11:18

    I bought this one plus 10% discount to replace a benq w1110. Delivery this week.

    Bought expensive camera lens from BH many moons ago. No issue - quality seller that's been around forever, but keep in mind you used to be able to skirt tax on buying from the likes of them.. not so much anymore. Considering the exchange rate, add the import fees, GST etc… you're probably not saving much anymore.

  • skamalpreet on 08/01/2023 - 12:07

    You need to go to their NY Store to see how rock solid they are. I have been buying photography equipment from them when I was in the US and subsequently from Australia

    • Heaps for Cheaps on 08/01/2023 - 12:19

      That would negate the any deal/savings made from this offer…

        Not if you found a few thousand dollars on your way there though.

  • jamba on 08/01/2023 - 20:20

    Has this one got vertical and horizontal lens shift for easy placement?

  • JoKid on 10/01/2023 - 17:21

    Is this one a real 4k or a fake 4k?

    • Nom on 10/01/2023 - 21:52
      -1

      There is no "fake 4K" in the DLP world.

      I suggest you go and learn how pixel shift works - every single 4K pixel is individually addressable and displayable.
