Benq Joybee GP2 LED HD mini projector - Review.

[nchary]

Hi,

I recently brought, Benq Joybee GP2 LED projector from eBay for around 31K rupees. I'm petty much impressed by its size, quality, its features and portability, though there few limitations.

Pros:
1. Out of the box, multimedia content handling (images, videos, audios, docs, ppts, excel and PDFs).
2. Sharp and crisp projection.
3. Easy to navigate menu systems.
4. Multiple data source connection types (PC, HDMI, SD Card, USB Drive, iPHone/iPod doc)
5. Out of the the box "sufficient" speakers.

Cons:
1. No Zoom control/button.
2. Size of the propitiatory cables.
3. Unable to support Windows 8/Mac for USB display and unreliable internal storage access.

I will try to post images of the output though, currently I'm playing on the bedroom wall.

and one questions, is there any way, I could set ZOOM, apart from moving back and forth ?

First of all, congratulations for your new purchase! @31K, let's consider that you almost stole it!

Yes, there is no option to zoom, apart from moving the pj, but that's a generic problem with all LED projectors AFAIK. At the most, it just has a focus ring to set.
