Our Verdict

BenQ TK700STi

XGIMI HORIZON Pro

The BenQ TK700STi is better than the XGIMI HORIZON Pro. The BenQ is a bit brighter, with better contrast, so it looks better than the XGIMI when a few lights are on. It's also slightly more accurate pre-calibration than the XGIMI, although you can improve the XGIMI significantly more with calibration. The XGIMI has a wider color gamut than the BenQ, but it's not bright enough to make its colors pop. The BenQ is particularly interesting to gamers as it can play games at both 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 240Hz, while the XGIMI is limited to 60Hz at both 4k and 1080p.
