FAQ
FAQ
Is BenQ TH671ST good for gaming?
Our projector guide cites it for gaming-friendly responsiveness when short throw fits—still confirm input lag and game mode on the listing for your console.
What is short throw on TH671ST?
Short throw means a smaller distance from lens to screen for a given image size—measure your room and confirm BenQ throw charts on the seller page, not diagonal marketing alone.
TH671ST vs Hisense M2 Pro?
Choose TH671ST when shelf short throw and budget lamp projector habits fit. Choose M2 Pro when portable smart streaming matters more—read both notes.
Projector vs TV for gaming?
Projectors trade upkeep and light control for size flexibility. TVs simplify brightness and latency—our gaming TV guide is the panel fork when projector math fails.
