BenQ GV1 Projector

Really cool device. Still figuring it all out as it wouldnt play sound in the screen mirroring mode, but then it did without changing any features, so I dont know what the issue was.. good clear picture, lightweight, easy to connect via Bluetooth

Best projector I've seen.

This projector has the most beautiful picture I have seen on a projector. The fan is a little noisy, but when a movie is playing you don't notice it. Using the mirror to project dims the picture a little. it is definitely better projecting directly. Use a firestick tv 4k and a audio receiver for best experience.

Great 4K

The picture quality is great. The blacks are not as prominent as I hoped but the picture is very nice overall. Paired with my 4K Apple TV it is clean setup. Not having to worry about a lamp is great.

Great Overall

Great projector - alittle tricky to set with laptop - I cant seem to cast to file & no real instructions to show how. Easier to use with Android. Overall ok but overpriced really. I was lucky enough to have a discount otherwise I wouldn't be so keen to pay full retail.

Marian's review of BenQ GV1 Smart Portable Projector

Pros: Most of things working perfectlyCons: Better support for apple It might work better with iOS than with android. Would be more faster, reliable.Android make it more difficult to operate. And slow. (I’m not fun of android but it does make it work.)

Nice picture and set-up options.

This projector lives up to the hype. Previous owner treated it well. Nice picture. Low fan noise. Various set-up options. (One of the main reasons I chose this model) Does NOT have tabs for Netflix or Hulu type systems preinstalled.

Not bad but lightly pricy

Bought this little projector because I needed something specific bedroom since a tv wasn't an option. The form and styling is 5/5 for me. The build is solid, the accessories are nice and practical, and I personally think this looks nicer than any other portable projector including Anker's Capsule. For a $400 ranged portable projector, this little guy had USB-C AND it can tilt with automatic vertical keystone! Loved it! Speaker is very good. I would definitely recommend this product.Here's the issue I had with it. The OS was decent- 2/5 Mirroring sucked and the apps were useless. Had to add Chromecast to it to be functional for me. No big deal. However, leaving Chromecast plugged in drains the battery. This was the deal breaker.For room use, its probably not the ... MoreBought this little projector because I needed something specific bedroom since a tv wasn't an option.

For portable use, I think I would buy it provided that you have electricity nearby to plug in Chromecast. That's a must.

Not worth it

Pricing on this is over the top. Picture quality was good but had to keep adjusting it if there was the slightest bump or movement. Had trouble casting certain apps and would get kicked out so its not compatible. Not really programmed for NZ suited/styled apps etc. Took it back and got a refund after trying it out so was happy with the service received.

Overall very pleased

Fantastic build by a reputable company, and great quality image and brightness (in a completely dark room.) Only gripe I have, which my hardly be a gripe, is although the image automatically corrects distortion when tilting up and down, it does not from the side; the projector had to be perfectly parallel with the screen to be the correct image.

Theater quality picture

I was looking for a THX Certified projector. They all exceed $6,000. The LG HU80KA 4K UHD Laser Projector is worth every penny at $2,000. Movie night is incredible with 135 inches on the wall. Godzilla and Kong look insane fighting on top of the aircraft carrier with this projector. This is the only projector that can sit it upright and project in any direction.
