Abstract: Our previous run-ins with pico-projectors have left us vaguely disappointed, with units that will certainly fit in your pocket but underwhelm in their performance. BenQ’s Joybee GP1 has sized itself out pocket-portability but promises improved quality ...
Vivid color and sufficient brightness in low-light conditions; no pricey bulbs to replace; compact; USB port and speaker for PC-free file playback
Large power brick; proprietary video cable is too short; unresponsive touch-sensitive buttons; weak audio-codec support for video files hobbles use with USB port
The Joybee GP1’s small size and bulb-free LED lamp make it a wow-inducing projector. But a big power brick, a too-short video cable, and problems with video playback via USB keep it just shy of greatness...
Sleek, compact design, Built-in USB reader with audio and video decoding support, Auto keystone function, Excellent image quality, contrast and sharpness, Long-life LED lamps need no replacement, Intuitive, comprehensive menu system
VGA cable a bit short, Native resolution too low to support HD content, Lacks DVI input, Short supported codecs list, MSRP a bit steep, Non-intuitive remote control button arrangement...

Abstract: Like the Aaxa P1 Pico Projector we reviewed last month, Joybee GP1 is designed to offer a big screen video experience in a very small package, though Aaxa’s and BenQ’s approaches were substantially different. Whereas P1 Pico was literally pocket-sized...
This is a projector for folks that want to do some "PC free" work, and more importantly, for people who have several portable devices that they would like to project from, be it a digital camera, camcorder, MP3 player, portable game machine (i.e. Sony...
Abstract: Wahey! The reaction in the office when we opened the GP1 box was what every gadget-lover wants. ‘Cor, lookathat.' The main photo here is not the product of overzealous Photoshop; the hand is not that of Andre the Giant — the GP1 really is just 136 x 57 x ...
Abstract: "Small BenQ Projector Brings Enjoyment" By Mendelson Tiu | Published:29/01/2010 The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and portable projector that makes movie viewing fun. It can liven up any room with its versatility and offers anyone a big screen experience ...
Non-standard resolution of 858x600 pixels, low overall light output
BenQ’s Joybee GP1 is a nifty little projector, with a native resolution higher than DVD quality and a reasonable light output given its tiny size. The non-standard resolution might annoy some users, and the fan output while not noisy, wasn’t a...
