so today I'm going to be taking a quick look at kind of a neat product from Ben
Q it's the Joy B gp1 mini projector and
I guess the first thing I apologize I'm not unboxing it today it's already set
up so I'll just show you a quick overview of the accessories it comes
with first it comes with a remote take special note that the top buttons are
for the projector and the bottom buttons are for the card reader that's going to
come in handy when you're trying to control this thing oh oh I knocked it oh
well whatever okay it comes with a little case that houses the project
itself but not the not the AC adapter so
it's kind of not quite there yet you'll need another another holder if you want
to hold the whole thing so inside the box I actually haven't even looked at
what's in here it's probably a manual and probably okay so you've got a
users's manual on a dis then you have a quick oh this is kind of neat you have a
quick little chart that shows you what formats are supported what resolution is
supported so ntsc goes up to 720 by 480
and that seems to be the highest resolution supported by the gp1 okay
you've got your warranty information card your safety manual you know safety
is important when you're projecting things at a wall and then there's
something else in here yeah there we go okay so this is a quick start guide so
there is the quick start guide for The Joy B so the thing I have it set up with
right now is with the USB card reader so I'm going to go ahead and use my little
remote here to show you that I can show
you uh pictures okay these aren't
particularly great pictures I apologize for that basically it's a okay select
there now it'll play back my pictures I'm going to turn down the lights so you
can get a better idea of what the joy be here is capable of okay I'm going to go
turn off the other light as well and then I'm going to skip ahead to the next
picture there we go so you can see that in the dark and I hope you can see that
yeah you can see that in the dark The Joy B is actually quite quite bright and
I can make shadow puppets okay so this is my first attempt at UV Lighting in a
computer you can see that I wasn't quite there yet and the other one is my
parents cat Batman wearing a Christmas hat so uh he's quite enjoying that as
you can see now that's not all the joy be can do I mean first of all oh yeah I
haven't even showed you the here come look at the projector okay so you have
uh buttons to control the projector up on the top these are all touch sensitive
buttons and I I touched one I hope I didn't do anything okay and then you have a focus wheel right here which was
quite easy to dial in in terms of inputs you've got the power input on this side
and I you can you see that enough okay good and then you have a USB port on the
back which is where I'm viewing these uh these photos off of and you can also run
video then at the back you have a little proprietary Port here which is good for
composite as well as VGA in which I have
plugged in right now and then there's pretty much nothing on the other side can you come around and have a quick
look at the front of the unit here I realize it might be a little bit bright
but there you go go you've got like a white finish and the fan is a little bit
loud the exhaust comes out the front it's a touch loud but it's not going to
be too obnoxious if you're giving a presentation or whatever else it is
you're doing now in terms of the other mode here I've got it hooked up to my
laptop so if you were into okay so I'm going to pick a source oh yeah and
there's a coming support for an iPod dock which is kind of cool so you can
either use uh went away so you can either use VGA composite the USB reader
or an iPod doc so I'm going to select this one
enter all signal searching and there we go we got
Warcraft 3 so on the PC it says the max
supported resolution is 800x 600 anyway I think that pretty much concludes it
thank you for checking out my unboxing or well I didn't really unbox it thank
you for checking out my product Showcase of the BenQ Joy
gp1 so one thing that we didn't really talk actually two things we didn't
really talk about three things first of all the V gp1 has built-in speakers
they're only 2 watt but they are there in case you need them for the composite
input another thing is how big of an image can you get out of it well you can
see we have a very bright very satisfying image right now it's uh about
I guess it's about three three something feet tall okay and then however many
feet wide and we're still we still got our Warcraft 3 running the colors are
quite Vivid and uh I am actually looking forward to playing around with this with
some gaming test particularly driving games thank you for checking out my
