BenQ Joybee GP1 Projector Review
Everyone has heard about the BenQ Joybee GP1 by now. This tiny projector features 100 ANSI lumens, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and SVGA (858 x 600) resolution. The most recent website to release a review is Register Hardware. The writers were very impressed with the fact that you could easily carry an 80 inch display in your bag. Weighing only 1.4 lbs, and measuring 4.7’ x 2.0’ x 5.1’ (W x H x D) this projector can go anywhere you want to go. The major benefit with the GP1 is the use of an LED light system. Not only does this allow the projector to consume less energy, but it also lasts for an extended period of time. The GP1 is designed more for entertainment than business, however it does come with a full menu system containing feature found in several BenQ data projectors like image alignment and wall color correction. While the projector does look to good to be true, it is not without its problems. The major concern is the size of the included power adapter. This brick is about the same size as the projector and at least twice as heavy. Another problem the writers noticed was the credit card sized remote control. The remote did not have a backlight and was very difficult to use when the room was pitch black. The final verdict the writers made was, ‘If portability isn’t your main reason for choosing a projector, then there are many other options available for under £500 such as Optoma’s HD700X which is HD Ready and still portable at around twice the size of the GP1. Indeed, priced at £420, the GP1 is hardly an impulse purchase and is not without its faults, but it offers a lot for the money and is much cheaper to run than a conventional projector. Yet with the emphasis is on fun and portability, rather than home theatre or boardroom presentations, the Joybee GP1 Mini Projector packs a lot of big screen entertainment into a very small package.’
