00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:19.240
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the BenQ Joy gp2 so the gp1 was an LED

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:22.320
lit projector in a very small form

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:26.840
factor meant to be portable the gp2 is

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:29.080
now an HD LED lit projector so that

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.320
means you will never and you know never is an asteris cuz if you ran it forever

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:38.640
it might eventually run out but you will never have to replace it the bulb with

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:44.120
an expensive replacement bulb pretty cool this one also is HD now so it's

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.199
720p you've got multimedia connectivity which I'll show you when we open it up

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.680
an iphone/ipod Doc and I've seen this in

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:56.640
action already very cool and you can even get a detachable battery that'll

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.680
run the unit for 2 hours on battery life

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.840
actually I believe the BenQ site quotes 3 hours so somewhere in the 2 to three

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:05.880
hour range not 100% sure um which is

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.439
great for travel great for portability let's see what else BenQ has to say for

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.000
themselves on here so HD ready two watt speaker so it does have included

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.000
speakers so it'll do audio over HDMI USB

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.840
reader SD card reader so you can play from pretty much any Source two gigs of

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:24.960
built-in memory so you can play from any of those sources you can play from your

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.560
oh it's not even on here but you can play from the iPod doc it has a document

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:32.399
viewer it supports USB display

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:38.360
uh there's the brightness I've seen this thing up to about uh 70 in though with

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:44.880
no issues whatsoever very cool it has Auto Keystone instant on and off LEDs

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.560
and it runs for 30,000 hours without

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.439
replacing the bulb so that is pretty much in that sort of never time frame

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.439
here's the unit itself which comes in a great carrying case this time around

00:01:53.320 --> 00:02:01.039
especially when compared to the gp1 we've got an included

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.399
remote so I'm just go ahead and com in little Ziploc bag here show you guys the

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:11.760
remote functionality that is included with the gp2 if I can ah there we

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:15.200
go okay so you can navigate the menus I'm holding it upside down sorry guys

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.680
you can oh look at that dedicated controls for your iPhone or iPod and

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:25.040
yeah that's pretty much it let's see what else is included in here we got the

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.120
power adapter so small power brick and

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.800
there's even room inside the case this

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:34.280
this was one of the things that uh Ben Q received complaints about with the gp1

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:38.800
was that there wasn't room in the carry travel case to put the power adapter

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.120
well now they have designed a special compartment right next to the projector

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:49.519
for you to put that in there and there you go nice and compact we've

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.519
also got adapter cables included uh

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:55.760
we've got composite we've got uh iPhone

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:03.959
and then we've got uh VGA neaten and finally a USB cable

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:10.840
so let's have a look at the unit itself pull that out and take these off take

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.720
this off okay so pretty glossy pretty

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:17.760
shiny also got a nice like anodized aluminum brushed aluminum finish here

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.840
with the BenQ logo there's all of your navigation these are all touch sensitive

00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:25.159
buttons including the okay in the middle

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.680
on the side we find ventilation there's a heat sink that you can clearly see

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.360
through there we've also got a focus wheel

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.040
on this side we see the lens itself which got a big old fat fingerprint on

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:42.159
it but you know nothing you can't take care of there you go it's not much

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:47.879
better okay more heat sinks and a heat pipe even there hopefully you can see in

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:49.920
there yep okay on this side we find the

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:57.000
business end of the unit so there is your USB so you can run uh content off

00:03:52.920 --> 00:04:00.480
USB there's your mini there is your PC

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:02.920
slav so oh I see okay so so that adapter

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:08.200
where' that go where did the adapter go ah okay so this adapter allows you to

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.000
run VGA or composite and this what looked like an iPhone adapter to me

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.840
really looked an awful lot like an iPhone adapter to me plugs right into

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.199
there and gives you those options you've also got mini HDMI so you can plug that

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.960
right into your tablet smartphone whatever the case may be audio in

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.800
headphones or audio out very cool

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.199
because what that means is with the HDMI you're not stuck with the two watt

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:37.400
speakers that are included you can also plug them into outside external speakers

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:40.039
very neat and DC power in here we have

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:45.919
more ventilation such a small unit as well as oh what's this aha SD card slot

00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:50.360
and such a small unit ventilation is going to be key because even though

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.919
we're using LEDs it's still a lot of a lot of light that's being generated a

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:58.720
lot of heat that's going to be generated there's where you plug in the external

00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:59.960
battery pack and uh let's go ahead and

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.039
give me a couple minutes and I'll get this uh set up so we can watch something on

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:10.680
it so this is fairly straightforward I plugged my uh my iPhone in says press

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:13.039
okay to connect so I press okay iPod doc

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.039
s

00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:22.560
searching okay pretty bright in here you guys but uh hopefully you can kind of

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:26.720
see the point so here's the size of the image uh cameraman if you just want to

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:31.560
have a look at the blinds we aren't able to get them any more closed than that so

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:36.560
I would say in a darker room actually here maybe I can close them a little bit

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:39.080
better ah there we go okay so in a

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:45.800
darker room that's properly set up for a presentation you can get a pretty darn

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:50.120
good image out of this guy that is here

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:52.800
about this big no no issues whatsoever

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:58.479
very cool for such a portable unit um now I'm running SD content now so let me

00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.880
find something HD and give me a sec here

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:03.759
guys so right now I'm using my favorite

00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:10.440
uh my favorite iPhone app this is air video and I can play back any video that

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:13.120
is on my uh my Windows Home Server at

00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:15.560
home so let me just see here's here's something

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:22.880
HD just adjusting the volume down here guys with the included remote so yeah no

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:28.160
big deal I'm going to go ahead put that there and I've got something HD to play

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:30.400
back for you guys so from the beginning

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:37.440
okay outputting through TV output so to speak and there we go so that is running

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:39.880
at uh probably a down sampled 720p cuz

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:44.080
remember this is streaming uh from my home computer all the way here but I

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:49.520
just want to give you guys some size perspective for the image so kind of

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:52.960
hears me here I'm 56 apparently your

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:55.199
armspan is about the uh about your

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:59.360
height so yeah looks like we've got about a 5 foot wide image here coming

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:04.599
out of this projector that looks pretty Prett darn good I'm very very impressed

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:06.160
with how easy it was to set up the gp2 I

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:12.199
think for you know what here I'm just going to turn on the uh the light I

00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.840
think for gamers that are running out of

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:19.160
their you know that are still living in sort of one room and they want a

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:24.840
projector or they want a big screen and they don't necessarily have the means to

00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:31.560
buy like and mount you know a big 50inch TV or something like that for 500 550

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:36.680
bucks this thing is a killer value to set up a nice big screen on the cheap

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:42.000
and put it away in a very very small form factor whenever you don't want to

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:45.879
use it plus eliminating that uh that

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.400
bulb replacement factor is huge and

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:51.919
awesome very very cool big thanks to BenQ for providing this unit for us to

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:58.680
check out don't forget to subscribe to lineus techtips from our unboxings reviews and other computer

00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.479
videos so here I am set up on uh a much

00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.960
larger wall wall although I'm actually not projecting a much larger image just

00:08:03.159 --> 00:08:08.560
yet let's go ahead and see how big we can get it this is a very brightly lit

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:14.879
room right now there are lights directly above it so right now the image is

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.960
probably about I'd say 5 and 1 half 6t

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:21.280
wide and I'm just going to level it off and I'm going to go ahead and I'm going

00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:24.440
to turn the lights off in here just

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:27.680
going to head over to the other side and

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:30.000
turn off the light and show you guys oh

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:37.479
that looks so good what kind of results we get with this is HD content playing

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:39.360
off cameraman's iPhone not my own and uh

00:08:37.479 --> 00:08:44.920
here we go I'm just going to something to do with some Victoria Secret

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:48.600
thing image quality and color is just outstanding I'm going to change my angle

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.200
a little bit here so that I'm straight on and zoom in a little bit so that the

00:08:50.959 --> 00:08:58.839
uh there we go so it looks just awesome so once
