These projectors contain the features of the other two mentioned categories-good image quality plus easy to carry, and they are perfect for both at home and in the office.
Mingji, the leading brand of projectors, launched the Joybee GP2 handheld projector.
This handheld computer replaces the popular, award-winning Joybee GP1 with better resolution, iPod/Phone docking stations, and a range of connected ports.
While the look is not the main focus of most projectors, the Joybee GP2 is popular for its delicate, stylish look.
Weigh around 1. 2 pounds (
About 1 kg in half)
Very portable.
The projector even comes with a cute little box to prevent it from being scratched.
The smooth black top is easy to get dirty, but this does not remove attention from the control area in the center.
The controls of the Joybee gp2 are arranged in a circle by touch-
LED backlight.
It is also equipped with an additional battery that can be used continuously for 3 hours, although this will add weight.
The battery pack is stuck under the projector through the port on the lower side.
The USP of this projector is definitely the plethora of the connection option.
In addition to the iPod/iPhone dock at the top, there is an SD card slot at the back.

It can be directly from the USB drive, micro HDMI slot (
The projector comes with a convenient Micro HDMI to HDMI connector)

Another rule is to add composite materials through the accompanying cables. There are 3.
In addition to the 2-watt stereo speakers built into the projector, there are 5mm jacks for audio input and output.
Another handy feature: the Joybee GP2 has 2 gb of memory.
The bottom of the projector is a metal screw-
To connect the tripod.

The user experience Joybee GP2 does not need to be set up and within seconds of connecting the power cord you will see a BenQ screen projected onto any surface you use with a detailed menu attached.
The focus ring on the side allows you to adjust the clarity of the image.
With the touch control at the top, the menu is easy to navigate.
Their touch sensitivity is not high, but it is very good for work.
The projector also comes with a small palm
Override the size remote control for all controls.
The native resolution of the projector is WXGA (
1,280x800 pixels)
This is very good for its size.
The projector uses a DLP chip, which is estimated to be used for 20,000 hours (
It's almost a lifetime).
Extend to 30,000 hours using eco mode.

I played some videos via USB drive and iPod touch.
Most of the videos and images are clear and I didn't notice any rainbow effects (
You will see colorful lines when there is a fast moving object or when you suddenly turn around and leave)
It is common on Pico projectors.
The contrast of the projector is 2400: 1 and the brightness is 200 ANSI lumens.
In some of the videos I played, the flesh-colored tones were pink and some white people were bleeding.
The brightness is not very good, the projected image is obviously darkened when the ambient light enters the room, which I have not even encountered in Pico projectors like Acer K11 and 3 m mp180.
This is not an ideal source for watching movies, but it is enough to entertain a small group of people. The 2-
The sound of the watt speakers is amazing enough to fill a room, but if you really want to enjoy a movie, I suggest you connect to a more powerful external speaker.
In addition to supporting a variety of video, music, and picture formats, you can also project documents using the Joybee GP2.
A small but obvious problem with the projector is that when it is plugged in, it makes a sound hum, which can cause considerable interference in a quiet room.
Our verdictIf is the first class image quality you want and Joybee GP2 is not the projector you want.
But in terms of portability, aesthetics, and connectivity, it has been a success. Ketaki @ thehindu. co.
