In the early years, BenQ has unveiled the first-born of its range of mini projector. This is the Benq GP1. What are its characteristics. Firstly, it is worth remembering what a mini projector. You'll be able to judge more easily its technical specifications and attributes. A mini projector has dimensions smaller than a normal projector. However, it is larger than pocket projector. The Pocket Projector is a miniature projector (it is possible to incorporate it into a PDA or mobile phone). A mini projector fits in your hand.

The Benq GP1 operates on the basis of technology DLP (Texas Instrument). The DLP is a technology that allows for less loss of light and more contrast. It has excellent brightness. It is ten times that of conventional projector. It has a higher contrast than the average. Resolution SVGA (800x600) will receive a diagonal of 2 meters. Weighing 500 grams, it is not a highly mobile even if its size (13.6 cm x 5.4 cm x 12 cm) allow it to fit easily in the hand. The Benq GP1 should be accompanied by a dock to receive IPOD AND IPHONE.
Mini video projector BenQ GP1 uses technology DLP developed by Texas Instruments and offers a brightness of 100 lumens , 10 times more than conventional pocket projector.

Its contrast is also higher than in general pocket projector with 2000:1. The diagonal proposed by the resolution SVGA 800 x 600 is 2 meters. In comparison, a pocket projector has a diagonal of just 1.27 meters maximum for optimum quality. This is related to the lower brightness of the bulb. It weighs 600 grams handicaps a minimum level of mobility. But its size it is quite reasonable for use in the palm of the hand with 13.6 cm x 5.4 cm x 12 cm.

In terms of connectivity, you will be served by an output Composite , a USB and the traditional VGA . The BenQ GP1 should be provided with a docking station for Ipod, Iphone.

Certified RoHS, WEEE and EuP the GP1 is consuming 30% less energy than competitive models thanks to a standby mode of less than 1W and autonomy of more than 20,000 hours of illumination for fun in complete compliance with echo-environmental. Logically thinking, the other features of this DLP projector is not no big deal, telling the BenQ GP1 with a lamp capable of generating 100 ANSI lumens and a contrast static so bad that even its manufacturer dares to mention it. The same happens with the screen resolution to be 10 to 80 inches that is capable of generating. Finally, just be missing GP1 mention that the BenQ has no digital video inputs, with the pin VGA component video and the only present in your patch panel.

It incorporates a lamp which, among other things, is capable of generating 100 ANSI lumens and a resolution is between 10 and 80 inches. If you will excuse the redundancy, is also capable of playing files of audio , video and images, and you can connect an iPod with its integrated dock.

Conclusion :

He has a ring on the lens for the correction and sharpening a focus adjusting the zoom. or home theater use, this device is unfortunately too faint (100Ansi) and the screen size for my taste a little too small.

In summary, mini video projector, projector is smaller than a traditional but larger than a Pocket projector but this is a summary because there are now four types of projectors to small. I will let you visit different categories mini video projector, pocket projectors and video projectors to familiarize yourself with classic names of these new products and buy your dream tomorrow. The movie playback, although trimmed to SD resolution and not too bright, but convincing color and brightness ratios of the composition completely. This motion representation is excellent.

BenQ's portable projector shows quite impressive, what is technologically possible. True to convince us, the concept could not yet, especially with regard to the film presentation. The videos, which accepts the GP1 are played in good image quality, even with sound. The built-in 2-watt system delivers Hi-Fi, of course, not quality, the dialogue we can understand and correct the volume. The presentation quality is generally good, colors and contrasts of the tiny is properly again, and certainly does not count an application such as home theater to its core competencies.
