Perfectly timed to showcase the world's greatest sporting events, TK800 is meticulously engineered to deliver breathtaking picture quality, custom-tailored audiovisual modes, and easy setup flexibility with modern style.

Fully capturing the excitement and thrills of watching live sports, TK800 offers dedicated Football and Sport audiovisual modes to deliver experiences as if attending in person. Football Mode preserves natural skin tones while intensifying lush green grass, simultaneously clarifying the announcer's commentary among the cheering crowd of an open-air stadium. Sport Mode also prioritizes realistic skin shades while enhancing wood tones and vivid reds along with balanced greens and blues for indoor sports, with clear acoustical quality for the announce's voice and details such as squeaking sneakers, referee whistles, and ice scraping under skates.

TK800's CinemaMaster Audio+ 2 sound system is newly upgraded with a significantly wider frequency range and 5-watt power, utilizing sophisticated materials such as an aluminum driver diaphragm and resonant sound chambers for delicate details, pure vocals, and resounding bass.

A true 4K DLP projector with high brightness for the living room, the sleek and compact TK800 blends beautifully into any deacute;cor simply and conveniently with auto keystone correction and 1.2X zoom flexibility to accommodate any space.

Powered by ultimately durable Digital Light Processing, the 2015 Academy Award of Merit Oscar winning technology used in 90% of the world's digital cinemas, TK800 delivers long-lasting picture quality with precise colors and razor-sharp clarity without maintenance or degradation.
