BenQ Joybee GP2

 

The Joybee GP2 makes a good case for itself, if you need a projector that's affordable, has a good mind for business and is acceptable for casual use.

Highly portable. Decent image quality. Optional battery pack.

Blown out highlights. Tinny speakers.

In terms of connections, the GP2 adds a little something for everybody. In addition to the iPhone dock, there's a mini-HDMI port, a USB type A port that fits a thumb drive, and a USB mini-B port for connecting to a computer, and an SD memory-card slot....

BenQ Joybee GP2 Mini Projector Preview

 

Almost every complaint we had with the BenQ Joybee GP1 was addressed with the Joybee GP2. If you thought the BenQ GP1 sounded like a good deal, for $50 more, the Joybee GP2 is an absolute steal.

BenQ Joybee GP2 Review

 

For a portable projector, the BenQ Joybee GP2 is an excellent package. We liked the overall performance, the USB port for direct media playback and the additional dock for an iPhone or iPod Touch. The fact that you can use it off battery power means it...

Good video reproduction quality, HD content looks brilliant, Plays most media formats off a USB / SD card, iOS device dock is a value add for some users, On-screen UI that works, Surprisingly punchy speakers

Lack of crispness with SD content, Black levels are not very deep, Shift to mini HDMI is weird, Heats up quickly

At 200 ANSI lumens with a native 1280x800 DLP chip and a street price of under $550, the 1 ? pound Joybee GP2 pocket projector has a broader mix of features than any of its competitors.

BenQ Joybee GP2 portable projector

 

This miniature projector trades brightness for portability

Small size ; Comprehensive inputs ; Detachable battery

Low brightness levels ; Fan can get loud ; Some contrast shortfalls

BenQ's Joybee GP2 has a clear list of positives and a clear list of negatives. If you're the kind of person that can overlook some image quality problems in exchange for portability and connectivity -- a travelling executive or salesperson, maybe --...
