![]() ![]() For most of my viewing tests, I used the Normal power mode. There is no battery life rating for Eco or Normal modes. The default setting when using the battery is Low Power, which is rated for 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the volume, brightness settings, and even content. It's also available when using the built-in rechargeable battery, which isn't true for many portable projectors. The brightest power mode, and the default setting for AC power, is Normal. The best that can be said for the brightness is that it's sufficient to be useful. For modes with better color accuracy, the brightness is lower, and it drops even further if you use a power mode that extends battery life. But to get the brightest picture, you have to use a color mode that's noticeably green-tinted. The brightness is low enough that you may not notice the softness or lost detail at the image sizes you're most likely to use.īenQ rates the projector at 300 ANSI lumens. However, in my tests it negotiated a 1080p connection by default with video sources, which means it behaves like a 1080p projector with slightly soft focus. The GV30 is built around an RGBB LED light source, rated for 30,000 hours in Eco mode or 20,000 hours in full power mode, combined with a diamond-layout 720p DLP chip. The Miroir Synq M189 ($349.99) remains our pick among portable streaming projectors, but there are plenty of reasons to consider the clever, capable GV30. All it lacks is sufficient brightness to throw a large image in ambient light. Add in the highly watchable image, Android TV for streaming and Chromecast, and the ability to work as a Bluetooth speaker, and it's hard not to be impressed. A finger-sized loop makes it easy to carry, complete with the base, and it can survive a drop from table-top height without damage, according to BenQ. Roughly the shape of a 7-inch wheel of cheese, with a built-in bump where the lens is, it sits on a magnetic stand that keeps it from rolling away and lets you effortlessly rotate it up or down to adjust the image height. The $599 BenQ GV30 has one of the more innovative projector designs we've seen. ![]()
