BENQ GS1

Bigscreen projection still rules the home cinema roost. Even in these days of ever-larger televisions, there’s nothing like a projected image to turn that TV movie into a real cinema-like experience.

If you can fit a full-sized projector in a permanent position, that’s the way to go for the ultimate results... but how much more versatile to have a much smaller projector that can be brought out for special occasions, and not just in the lounge, but anywhere! Movies, Netflix, YouTube — a moveable feast of bigscreen entertainment even where there’s no mains power available. That’s the remarkable offering of BenQ’s little GS1, a portable projector which can even operate on battery power.
