Spend Less Get More: BenQ GP1 Joybee mini Projector

Ten. Satisfaction at last.

The device seems cool.. the ad SUCKS

its about been reciocionist

does this connect straight up to an ibook or imac via usb and supported by software?

This projector is so awesome! We have taken it with us everywhere: hotel, grandma's, school, friend's sleep over...and it's ultra easy to use! All we need is a USB flashdrive to play movies that we download from the internet. BenQ is the ONLY company that makes an LED mini projector with a USB reader, so the Joybee is unparalleled! And the convenience is unbelievable. You don't need a dvd player or laptop to enjoy movies...just the USB flashdrive. Makes packing for the hotel super easy!

This is a great portable projector and one of the best currently available on the market. Just note one thing esp. if u compare it to 'normal' projector. This is a LED projector and thus needs much less lumens to display a good picture. The GP1 has 100 lumens which is enough to throw a 60 inch image to the wall. LED technology also generates much more colorful pictures in general. So this is a cool device which provides a good value for the money.

GP1 is the bomb!

Forget 300 lumens, the sony vpl-px1 was 8 pounds and 1000 lumens (measured by me so its accurate).
However, you need to think about the projectors use. Contrast ratios suffer terribly by even the faintest amount of ambient light, and thats even with 1000 lumens. I can't imagine a 100 lumen projector coping well with any ambient light at all, which is probably where it'll be used as hardly every portable area has nice light control.

its lcd, chromatism performance is completly different from those projectors that uses conventional lamps, so a 100 lumens lcd projector will perform very similar to a convential 1000 lumens one.

cool
