BenQ Joybee GP2 (Special Gadgets)

BenQ Joybee GP2

Tiny projectors are all the rage right now – gone are the days where projectors required a large surface area and ample distance from the wall or projector screen to function. To add to the list of such projectors, BenQ has a new model called the Joybee GP2. A successor to the GP1, it features the same black and white housing, but features enhancements such as an intuitive UI, 720p HD-video capability, short-throw projection, an integrated iPhone/iPod dock, a 3-hour battery pack and a multitude of connectivity options.

The projector has a brightness of 200 ANSI lumen and can project a 44″ image a mere 1 meter away from the surface. With the iOS dock, users can control the projector via their iOS device for easy sharing of the content on their iPhone/iPod touch. The projector has 2-W speakers  built-in though audio outputs let you connect it to something more powerful. It features a USB port, SD card viewer, mini HDMI input, and it even has 2GB of onboard storage for you to store your files.
The BenQ Joybee GP2 is available now with an MSRP of $549 and will be shown off at CES 2012.

Special Gadgets/BenQ BL2201PTE 22″ monitor

BenQ BL2201PTE 22″ monitor

BenQ has unveiled their BL2201PTE monitor that comes with several interesting features that you may find to be rather interesting. The monitor will be 22” in size and sport a max resolution of 1650×1080 (aspect ratio of 16:10). It will also feature a 5ms response time, a dynamic contrast ratio of 12,000,000:1, a typical brightness of 250cd/m2, D-Sub, DVI and DisplayPort connectors. It will also come with a pair of 1W speakers built-in.

Some interesting features of the BenQ BL2201PTE would be the Eye-Protect Sensor and an Eco sensor. The Eye-Protect Sensor, which you might have already surmised, will automatically adjust screen brightness in order to reduce any form of eye strain, which could come in handy especially for those who may spend hours on end in front of the computer. The Eco sensor will be able to detect when the user has left their desk, thus putting the monitor into standby mode, which we guess is eco-friendly since it would consume less power in standby. The BenQ BL2201PTE monitor is expected to retail for €209.
