BenQ AK700ST Features

 

Flexible Setup

With its short-throw lens, the AK700ST can be positioned safely behind the player, reducing shadow interference and minimizing the risk of damage. Supports screen sizes up to 200 inches with a 1.2x optical zoom for flexible placement.

Plus, warping capabilities make it easy to project onto a curved screen like Carl’s Curved Golf Enclosure.

 

Immersive, Long-Lasting Brightness

With 4,000 lumens, the projector delivers bright and clear images, even in well-lit rooms.

The laser light source offers up to 20,000 hours of operation, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Keep Focused

Adjust focus easily using the remote control without needing to access the projector directly.

Garage Ready

The IP5X-rated sealed engine operates reliably in various environments, reducing maintenance needs.

How It Works

BenQ’s AutoFit feature is super handy - it can tweak the image size, focus, and alignment to match your screen. However, you still need to place your projector so the image roughly fills your screen before you hit that AutoFit button.

 

1. Placing the Projector

Mount or position your projector so the image is bigger than your screen on all sides. Yep, make it overflow a little, BenQ recommends a screen border of at least 2.4" around your screen. Now our C-Series screens don’t quite play by those border rules - the image goes all the way to the floor. Luckily, AutoFit still plays nice. We checked.

2. Firing It Up

When you turn on your projector for the first time (or after a factory reset), you’ll get a pop-up to start AutoFit. Press OK.

3. Tweaking the Position

You’ll see a pattern on your screen. This is your cue to adjust the projector’s distance, tilt, and zoom so the pattern fits nicely inside the borders of your screen.

4. Let AutoFit Do Its Thing

Once that pattern is sitting inside your screen, press OK again. The projector will then automatically adjust the image to fit your screen’s size and aspect ratio.

5. Fine-tune with Corner Fit

AutoFit gets you close, but not always perfect. After it runs, you’ll get a screen to adjust the corners just right.
