New Update

The projector competition gets better and better with the new BenQ Joybee GP2, the proud holder of features usual in mid-segment projectors. Price is a little on the higher side with 39k, but once you hear more about it, you won't mind paying for it. The compact projector weighs around 0.6kg and has a touch based interface with LED lighting, which makes it very helpful and easy to operate. The device starts instantly but heats up within minutes of projection. The quality is impressive and can be used for watching HD movies as well. It starts instantly and projects a display of up to 44 inches with great clarity. It has a focus wheel but unfortunately something similar for zoom has been neglected.

It has a dock for iPhone and iPod touch on the top, while the side panel has an HDMI port, two USB ports and an SD card slot. Having a USB drive or an SD card rids you from even carrying your PC for presentations. Just insert an SD card or a USB drive and place your projector on a flat surface. If you intend to watch movies, don't worry about carrying a speaker, since the in-built speakers are really good and loud. There's a screw-based stand beneath it, in case you want to raise it. However, if connecting to PC is intermittent, you can use the octopus cable which connects to a computer via a VGA connector or to an audio/video source with 3 RCA plugs. Power consumption in the normal mode is 45W.

Bottomline: A compact projector in the real sense as it frees you from the hassles of needing a PC or power to run it. The price is a bit too much for a mini projector, but the features are absolutely delightful and useful too.

Price: Rs 39,167
