BenQ i705 smart projector, watching the big screen selection of the World Cup

In front of the model, the letter i is the name of BenQ's home projector for built-in smart systems. As the entry-level product of BenQ's recent listing, the i705 home projector not only looks smart and fresh, but also has a good performance in image quality.

When I first saw the i705, I was very surprised that its well-designed appearance and fresh color match were totally different from the BenQ projector I was impressed with. I705's body length is less than 30cm, width less than 24cm, and the height is only 12cm, from the size of the body has been compared to some large-scale micro-projection not much. What's more, what I admire most is the clean and fresh color matching of the blue-green and white literary art used on the body. The color of the art van makes it extremely suitable for all kinds of home environments.

The i705 uses a 1.3x zoom lens with a projection ratio of 1.15 to 1.5. It can project a 100-inch 16:9 screen at 2.5 meters, making it ideal for most home living rooms. Above the body lens is a zoom ring and focus adjustment ring, feel moderate damping.

Due to its own Android smart operating system, able to self-sufficient film sources, so the i705 only has a HDMI interface, also has two USB2.0 interfaces, and 3.5mm audio input and output interfaces.

The i705's remote control has the advantage of having a backlight function, and some of the buttons are marked with Chinese characters. The disadvantage is that the buttons have a hard feeling.

The i705 equipped with an intelligent system can be said to be quite concise on the interface. In general, it is divided into local applications, movies, TV dramas, variety shows, and children's sections. Its video platform is cooperating with HUAWEI TV. Therefore, it is said that the video source is more abundant.

Moreover, the most important and my favorite is that the i705's smart system supports the installation of third-party software, so you can install Tencent video, Mango TV and other video platform APP to meet the user's video viewing needs. In short, the i705 with intelligent system can independently solve the film source problem without having to connect a video player such as a high-definition player. For example during the 2018 World Cup, as long as the appropriate video app is installed, i705 can easily let you enjoy the big screen 2018 World Cup at home.

Because i705 has two USB2.0 interfaces, i705 also supports native video decoding and playback. However, in actual experience, I found that the i705's own video player is a bit poor in decoding capability and does not support audio decoding of some network videos. Therefore, I recommend that you re-install a third-party video player to solve this problem. The whole set of i705 intelligent system experience down, what I am most satisfied with is the fluency of its system operation, whether it is the interface operation, or the video playback is very smooth, indicating that its hardware performance is strong enough. And it supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you can connect Bluetooth speakers to enhance their sound performance, you can also use the mobile phone a key to screen to the big screen, i705's high playability, this is the projector carrying the charm of smart systems .

As a professional projector brand, i705 has inherited the professional side of BenQ projector after adding intelligent functions, which is also a point different from many internet projection brands.

The i705 comes with a professional projector tuning menu. It presets several scene modes for ordinary users, such as Cinema, Sport, Film, Bright, Vivid TV, etc., and also provides a more professional picture quality adjustment menu option. , such as gamma selection, color temperature, color management, and so on.

What surprised me most is that I tested the parameters that are most commonly used by the average user in the default Cinema mode. The test value is very surprising. The first is the performance of the color gamut, and its actual color gamut basically covers and exceeds the standard Rc709 color gamut standard. It seems that BenQ's color for the i705 has been carefully debugged, allowing it to have the quality of BenQ's quasi-series;

The second is that the brightness curve also coincides with the standard, which means that the grayscale performance will be quite good;

In the end I was amazed by the color temperature performance. The color temperature of the i705 is basically maintained at around 6700K in different brightness ranges. This is a performance that many projectors' preset modes cannot achieve.

The i705 is equipped with a Texas Instruments 0.65 DMD chip with a physical resolution of 1080p, a brightness of 2200 lumens, and a contrast ratio of 12,000:1. From the brightness parameters, 2200 lumens may be a bit difficult in the bright living room, but if the viewing environment is slightly shaded, the picture color can be perfectly displayed. In order to experience the best picture quality, I connected the i705 to a high-definition player to watch several 4K and Full HD videos.

In terms of color, the performance of the i705 did not disappoint me. Its color reproduction was very accurate. Red and blue performed well. The overall color gives a warm feeling. In fact, this is a typical feature of the DLP projector. In addition to the demo clips, I also watched several episodes of the high-definition movie "God's War: The Eye of Power." In "The Battle of God: The Eye of Power," I was deeply impressed by the two battle scenes between Horus, the god of the desert, and the goddess of the desert, Dorset. I really liked the golden armor worn by the two gods shown by the i705. The kind of metal texture, shining dazzling without losing details.

There are more than a dozen days is the World Cup, with i705 to see the game is also a pretty good choice. However, you need to install a suitable World Cup live APP.

Frankly speaking, I really like the i705's form factor. It has a built-in smart system that solves the problem of the playback source so that it can be played independently. Although the China TV digital video platform will not be resonated by many people, it can be solved by installing a third-party video platform APP. Especially during the World Cup, a suitable video app plus i705 can perfectly enjoy the experience of enjoying the big screen at home. In addition, don't forget the professional projection quality of the i705, which is quite good in terms of image quality in the same class of smart projectors. I even think it has the feel of BenQ's Quasi-series projectors.
