BenQ Joybee GP1 Review

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Jun 1st 2009 No Comments

Our previous run-ins with pico-projectors have left us vaguely disappointed, with units that will certainly fit in your pocket but underwhelm in their performance. BenQ’s Joybee GP1 has sized itself out pocket-portability but promises improved quality to make up for it; SlashGear put those claims to the test.

bTendo laser pico-projector modules tested [Video]

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, May 26th 2009 No Comments

While the pico-projectors that have graced the SlashGear test bench have not exactly proved entirely disappointing, they’ve not persuaded us to part with our own money after we’ve sent them back. bTendo’s MEMS-based scanning laser pico-projector module might change all that, promising brighter colors, improved power efficiency and no need to manually focus. PicoProjector-info got some hands-on time with the bTendo modules, and as you can see in the image here, the laser technology (on the right) easily outclasses a standard LCoS projector.

FAVI PJM-1000 pico-projector claims “World’s Smallest”

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, May 19th 2009 No Comments

We’ve had some reasonable experiences with the pico-projectors reviewed here at SlashGear, but they’re still too expensive to make them anything other than an extravagant toy. Sadly FAVI don’t change that with the launch of their PJM-1000 Mini Projector, another aiming for the title of “World’s Smallest Projector”.
