Comments about BenQ Joybee GP2 Ultra Portable Mini Projector:
I must say it is the best projector I have come across. I have tried 3 other portable projectors and I must mention that its projection quality is very superior. I watched HD videos and the colors and brightness are too good considering its portability. The connectivity options make it more convenient to use for any purpose. No doubt its a good buy and I got the delivery in 5 days in India. As of now I did not notice any negative aspect.
