Final Verdict
These share the same 4K laser engine, so the decision is purely about your room. The TK710STi throws a 100-inch image from roughly half the distance and adds Android TV streaming — the pick for small rooms and apartments. If your projector sits 9+ feet from the wall, save the difference and take the standard TK710.
