BenQ

LK936ST

$3,499

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.
