Projectors > BenQ Projectors

Mini LED Projector with USB connectivity!

Advantages: LED bulb, quick on quick off, USB connectivity
Disadvantages: Wish it was offered in multiple colors

...that’s when I found the BenQ GP1. Of course, you can’t compare the performance between the GP1 and the HD20, but I got to say, for the price you pay for the GP1 and the size and weight of it, it really is an amazing mini projector. Although only with 100 lumens, it is 100 lumens of LED (RGB not white) lamination, and I must say if you compare it with standard LCD or DLP 100 lumens, the LED’s 100 lumens are quite a few multiples higher. And the device ...
...Another great thing is that the GP1, being LED, is able to have instant on/off capabilities, which saves a lot of time. And you can forget about changing bulbs, as LED bulbs will last at least 20,000 hours. The best part about the GP1 is that it comes equipped with a USB port and I also bought the extra adapter for iPod /iPhone connectivity so I could just plug in my iPhone and play movies onto the wall whenever and wherever I want. That’s the great ...

Review of BenQ Joybee GP1

Awesome Projector from BenQ. I am a BenQ Fan now!

Advantages: Great Color, Sensitivity, Contrast, Portability, and Ease of Use.
Disadvantages: It's a bit pricey if you have to use your own Salary to buy it, haha.

I purchased the BenQ MP623 three months ago, based on a friend’s recommendation. I have never viewed BenQ as a mainstream brand, so I didn’t think too much of them before; however I can say upon buying this projector it has definitely allowed me to branch out my awareness on consumer electronics brands. I purchased this projector for the use of the small class of students I teach voluntarily for a Sunday school. The main reason was of course to show ...
...Sunday school curriculum. The second reason why I purchased the projector was for personal use, as it was out of my own budget and not of the schools’. To my surprise, I now use the projector not only for teaching purposes, but also for my own leisure activities: watching movies, TV, or inviting some friends over to watch the weekly sports. When choosing the projector, I knew I needed a projector with at least 2000 lumens, because the room that I ...

Review of BenQ MP623

Great Projector Packed with Great specs!

Advantages: Great Color, High resolution, Huge picture, Low sound!
Disadvantages: Small speakers on the units, pretty much redundant. Do not depend on the onboard speakers haha.

...since I originally purchased the BenQ MP624. At first I got it for my office. This was great as I could pitch together with my boss to our clients with Power Point presentations, or simply use it to show presentations during our Monday weekly meetings. I remember realizing one day that I could take this projector to, 'perhaps', better use, by taking it home and using it to watch movies, especially when it's too hot outside. The projector works great ...
...With 3000 lumens the projector is definitely bright enough to use in all sort of different lighting environments, which is extremely great for its adaptability. I also learned that the MP624 can adapt to 720p and 1080i displays for movies! Lamp changes for this projector happen after every 3000 hours or 4000 hours on eco-mode. This seems pretty standard as I did a little research on the other competing units of the MP624 from other brands. I also ...

Review of BenQ MP624

Great, with a few hiccups..

Advantages: Great picture quality, especially from HD sources..
Disadvantages: few niggles, poor power connection

...back after a recommendation for optoma DLP projectors. Was also reasonably priced for a HD projection system. Have this hooked up to my PS3 though its HDMI connection at present and it works like a dream, the picture quality is amazing in HD. Watching Bluerays is like being in the cinema. It is possible to use during the day as long as it is not too bright and the projected surface is not in direct light. Have also connected via my laptop and the ...
...slight problem with the power cable, loose connection, however I got this replaced and has caused me no problems since. The projector has also kept telling me the bulb is reaching the end of its useful life, so I bought a new bulb. however it is still working 6 months after warning me. In my opinion it is a great little projector for home cinema use. ...

Review of Optoma ThemeScene HD65

happy owner

Advantages: see above
Disadvantages: see above

The Joybee is definitely my favorite and most useful tool I've come upon in a long time. In a world where portability is becoming more and more important (and I travel quite a bit), it's also gotten me through quite a few tough spots. I often carry it in my briefcase and use it on the road. I frequently put movies and sports on my flash drive and hook up my Joybee on the train to get through the commute and catch up on my football. One great example ...
...weeks ago. I was in a client's office and, instead of crowding around his 24 inch monitor to look through some slides, I pulled it out of my bag and we projected the powerpoint on the wall to the tune of about three times that size. The projection quality is great, the resolution allows you to read text easily and videos and slides look really good, and it's bright enough for pretty much anywhere not in direct sunlight. It doesn't hurt that you don't ...
