Our Verdict
BenQ TK700STi
BenQ X500i
The BenQ TK700STi and the BenQ X500i are both part of BenQ's 'Immersive Gaming' series, and share many similarities. Still, outside of the TK700STi's higher peak brightness, the X500i is the better product overall due to its much better contrast, wider color gamut, and superior pre-calibration accuracy. Plus, the X500i comes with the newer QS02 dongle, which has more features than the older QS01 dongle that comes with the TK700STi.
