The short throw capability of the BenQ TK700STI 4K Short Throw Projector offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows users to project large images in small spaces. With a short throw ratio, you can place the projector closer to the screen or wall, eliminating the need for extensive room setup. This is particularly useful for home theaters or classrooms with limited space. Secondly, the short throw feature reduces the risk of shadows or obstructions caused by people walking in front of the projector. It provides more flexibility in projector placement and ensures an uninterrupted viewing experience.
