BenQ GP1 LED Portable Projector

 

The BenQ GP1 is a late arrival to the portable LED projector party but you could say it's been worth the wait.

BenQ is a little later than some to the LED portable projector market but it would seem the wait has been well worth it. It's among the smallest, has the most features - including USB video playback and photo viewing - and currently is one of the...

Benq Joybee GP1 review

 

The venerable ol' bulb may have had its day

Nifty new projection tech ; Teeny tiny package…

…with loads of necessary accessories ; Dim at a distance

This feels weak up against others in its bracket, despite the revolutionary lamp

BenQ Joybee GP1 projector

 

It is no surprise that BenQ have added a mini projector to their portfolio, joining the likes of LG and Acer in offering a projector that is small enough to slip into a bag, ideal for ad-hoc use or business trips. Mini projectors aren't designed to...

On-board speaker, simple to focus and set-up

File support through USB is a little hit and miss, you'll need extra cables

Mini projectors aren't designed to replace or even compete with their larger brethren. But they do offer unrivalled portability, meaning you can easily slip one into a briefcase or overnight bag. The cost too is appealing, although those who want...

BenQ Joybee GP1 review

 

The BenQ Joybee GP1 can be tripod mounted or placed on a desk or shelf, and includes adjustable feet to get your image just right. It didn't quite provide the display size of the other projectors in our test, but offered an adequate 70in, tweaked with...

Ultimately, the Joybee GP1 aims to be a personal, portable projector and its LED projection does look great at close quarters. For the price, however, it simply doesn't match up to the performance of smaller models we've tested.

BenQ JoyBee GP1 review

 

The fashion for pocket-sized projectors gets even more, well, fashionable with BenQ's painfully cute JoyBee GP1

A flexible and attractive pint-sized projector, if a little too pricey

BenQ GP1 review

 

Part of BenQ's Joybee range of portable products, the GP1 is more of a micro than a pico projector - although the official name for the format is 'palm projector'.

The Benq GP1 is a realistic replacement for a full-sized model - with good control of colour options and auto-keystoning it's a very effective point-and-show option for business use, and can give some of the cheaper home cinema systems a run for their...

Benq - GP1

 

There's a growing market for the new breed of mini projectors, judging by the rash of models being launched by most of the major players. Benq has recently released the ‘Joybee' GP1: we don't know why ...

If you need a compact projector for presentations on-site or a movie screen at home, the GP1 could fit the bill. Though it's not that bright and may take a bit of colour tweaking, the combination of LED light and DLP shutter is potent and the typical...

BenQ Joybee GP1

 

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a tiny LED projector that has a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, a fixed zoom and manual focus lens, a lamp life of 20,000 hours and an ANSI lumens of 100. It has a native resolution of 858 x 600 pixels in 4:3 aspect ratio. It measures...

Get past the price and forget about its little flaws and the BenQ Joybee GP1 is cute, highly portable projector. Still, this is leading the pico projector brigade. And how! BenQ Joybee GP1 is tagged with BenQ Joybee GP1, projector and Mini. Select a...

BenQ Joybee GP1 mini projector

 

Pico projectors are an impressive feat of miniaturisation, but I never felt they were a gadget I had to have in my life.

The USB slot, the brightness and the portability

At £500, it's around the same price as higher spec, bigger models
