![]() The internal battery runs a claimed two and a half hours in Eco mode, and less if you go full-brightness. The Roku I connected this way gave a low-power warning at first, but otherwise seemed to work fine. You could, again in theory, keep it and a cable inside the case and then when you want to watch something, connect it with the hatch removed. I tried with a Roku and while it technically fit, the charging plug for the stick was on the left side, which is up against the side of the little cubby. You could, in theory, connect a different streaming stick inside the case. Others are included natively, like HBO Max, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and so on. Thankfully, Netflix is the only major streaming service that requires you to jump through these hoops. It can be added via a firmware update, though. BenQ hopes to add full Netflix support eventually, but there's no word on when that might be. Don't expect the usual slick Netflix user experience. And even then, it's quite finicky and exceptionally sluggish to use. You have to download the BenQ app to your phone, and control the projector from there via the app's mouse function. So far not too bad, but once inside Netflix, you can't use the projector's remote. Then, within Aptoide, install the Netflix app. First you need to install the Aptoide store app. You can get Netflix streaming from the built-in stick, but it's not easy. In particular, there's no native support for Netflix. ![]() This is certainly better than the Android-lite Aptoide found on many portable projectors, but it's not as complete as an Amazon Fire TV, Roku stick or Chromecast with Google TV. Paired with a Micro-USB cable, it's intended for use with the included BenQ-branded streaming stick. One is easily accessible via a removable flap on the side. Remote: Not backlit, app available ( Android/ iOS).Audio input and output: 3.5mm headphone out.HDMI inputs: 1x external (w/ARC), 1x internal.If you're plugging in, the brighter Normal mode is the way to go. I would only recommend Eco mode if you're running off the internal battery, as it will give you more playtime. The LED lamp is rated for 20,000 hours in Normal mode and 30,000 in the dimmer Eco mode. However, like all keystone adjustments, it will decrease resolution and overall picture quality. A retractable foot on the front lets you pivot the projector upwards, and an automatic keystone adjustment can resquare the image. They're all small drivers, but this projector can play surprisingly loud.Īs is usually the case with portable projectors, there's no zoom or lens shift. ![]() It's 4K and HDR (high dynamic range) compatible, but doesn't do anything to take advantage of those sources - the image you'll see is 1080p and standard dynamic range.Īudio is supplied by two 5-watt speakers and a 10-watt subwoofer. The GS50, rather rarely for a portable projector, sports full 1080p resolution.
