BenQ launches the portable and rugged Android-powered GS2 outdoor projector
Right now, we are in the middle of he pandemic, but also, we are in the middle of summer. And so, people are looking for ways to have fun outdoors while social distancing. For this, some folks are going camping in the woods or spending time in their own backyard.
One thing that has exploded in popularity is using a projector to watch a film outdoors. Today, BenQ launches a beautiful projector that should be perfect for outdoor movie watching -- whether in the woods or in your yard. Called "GS2," it is a portable and rugged Android-powered outdoor projector. The beautiful mini projector is IPX2 rated and features 3 hours of battery life. While it runs Android for media apps (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and more), the version of the operating system is shockingly old -- 6.0 Marshmallow, which was released in 2015!
BenQ launches TH685 HDR 1080P console gaming projector for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and more
If you are a console gamer, you probably have your gaming system hooked up to a TV. After all, this is what most people will connect their PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, or Microsoft Xbox One up to. And for the most part, that make sense. But what if you want a really big screen without breaking the bank? When I say "big," I mean bigger than can be realistically achieved with a TV -- like, say, 150 inches. Well then, a projector is what you will need.
Unfortunately, projectors aren't typically designed for gaming, so there is a good chance you won't have a great experience due to lag. Today, BenQ hopes to change that with the all-new TH685 HDR 1080P console gaming projector. The company promises that the low input lag (8ms response time) will provide a superior console gaming experience compared to other projectors.
Nebra AnyBeam: A Raspberry Pi powered home cinema projector you can fit in your pocket [Review]
Before large screen televisions and 4K content became a thing, I used to enjoy watching films projected onto a white wall at home. I had a Canon projector hooked up to my PC with surround sound, and it was like having a personal cinema.
Technology has moved on quite some way since then, and you can now buy reasonable quality projectors for a fraction of the price. Case in point is Nebra AnyBeam, a Raspberry Pi powered pocket sized projector.
