The BenQ TK800M is powered by a 240-Watt lamp that supports four modes which also affects its lifespan. The four modes listed are Normal, SmartEco, Economic, and LampSave which have varying outputs. BenQ says that the bulb will last between 4000 hours, 8000 hours, 10000 hours, and 15 hours respectively for each of these modes. In general for such a low priced projector BenQ did a good job quality wise. The TK800M may not turn heads by it’s appearance but it is what is hidden underneath that matters the most and the designers did good to spend most of the budget to give this projector a very welcome boost in it’s performance.

Pro 2) Outstanding Color Accuracy: BenQ projectors consistently win high marks for color accuracy. Their 1DLP models use a light processing engine with 30-bit color, allowing for full DCI-P3 Color Space and over 95% color uniformity. The white segment in the color wheel is what gives this projector the necessary boost in brightness but obviously this comes at the expense of color accuracy but at this price range we shouldn’t expect more as it is in reality a trade-off of specs. BenQ projectors have a generally good reputation for durability in their price range. According to general education and business conventions, projectors last an average of three to five years with typical use. However, the longevity of a home theater projector or portable short-throw projector may vary more widely.

Why is BenQ TK810 better than BenQ TK800M?

Despite not actually using a native 4K panel it’s still capable of highly detailed images, and is also very bright – making it perfect for less than ideal conditions such as a room with white walls or big windows. Also expect excellent motion handling, which is great for gaming, and it has a low input lag which is also good news for gamers. (The BenQ even supports 3D, although you will need to buy the glasses separately.)

In HDR, the TK800M has great light output, too. On my 0.9-gain screen I was able to measure just over 50 foot-Lamberts (fL). To put this in context, a good light level in a dark room is around 15 fL, while you want that up around 30 with ambient light during the day. The extra brightness of the BenQ allows for some nice HDR highlights that really pop while using the projector in a dark room.distance between the lens of the projector and the surface of the screen.
