The Joybee GP1 measures 136 x 57 x 120 mm and weighs 0.64kg, giving it that small and portable form factor. Unfortunately, users would have to lug along a two accessories to make the projector run – a bulky power adapter and a CEA 30-pin connector to connect the projector to a computer (D-Sub) or DVD player (RCA). This DLP projector supports VGA (640 x 480) up to SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution, with projected image size ranging from 15-inches up to 80-inches.
What is so great about this projector is the fact that it is very versatile. You can plug your computer, notebook, set top box, PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, and even a flash drive (since the unit has a USB port built-in) without any problems. What you hook up to the device is entirely up to you: the projector will display the image without any hesitations.
To get things started, users must connect the AC adapter to the projector, adjust the projector to the desired height, plug a source (D-Sub or Video), and do the necessary adjustments using the control buttons found on top of the projector or via the remote control. Various picture modes are available, allowing users to choose between Brightness, PC, Photo, Movie, and User (custom) mode.
The GP1 also comes with a ‘Wall Color' mode that can help correct the projector's colour to prevent possible colour difference between the source and projected pictures. Pre-calibrated colours include Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and Blackboard.
