BenQ GP10

Zitat: Budget Award Has good image quality and range of connection ports, but limited 3D capability

Zitat: The bad: - While we´re fans of the big image thrown up at a short range, there´s one thing we´re not too keen on, especially when in close proximity: the GP10 is particularly loud. Once you´ve switched it on, it sounds like there´s a jet engine in your room, which is made worse if you´re having to sit right next to it in a small room - but it´s easy to ignore if you have a decent set of speakers set up to drown out the noise. Another caveat is that the image itself isn´t full HD. The GP10 is only capable of beaming out its native 1280 x 800 resolution, which just about qualifies as HD-ready, but you will find it does downscale full HD sources just fine - and when you´ve got a huge picture in front of you, for a fraction of the price that other projectors cost, it´s not the least of our worries. BenQ´s built-in operating system, on the other hand, is especially slow though - flicking through to change inputs takes much longer than it should do, and we´d have just preferred a ´source´ button on the projector itself to rotate through its various modes, but we´re thankful for some of its features though. Its automatic keystone works well enough, but we´d also find an image scaling option especially handy, as sometimes our projected picture was just too big. Meet the pico-projector powered by Android! How to turn any wall into a touchscreen with just a Kinect! For slightly northwards of £450, the BenQ GP10 gives you a lot of bang for your buck, especially if you´ve got a small area that you want to boost with a huge image. We´re pleased with its brightness and sharp quality, and its built-in speakers are a nice surprise too, giving you an instant cinema in your bag - but if you really want full HD resolution from your projector, you might want to look elsewhere.
