20000h
This shows the lifespan of the light source. Projectors need to have their lamps (light source) replaced every now and then.
2.audible noise
29dB
Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in operation. Reduced audible noise improves quality.
3.has laser light source
✔BenQ GV1
Laser projectors have a much longer lamp life compared to traditional bulb projectors. The brightness and color reproduction also stays the same, whereas the brightness of bulb projectors can slowly degrade over time.
Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in use. Some devices have an eco mode for quieter operation.

The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
7.lamp life (eco mode)
30000h
This is the lifespan of the light source when using the projector in eco mode.
8.width
80mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.
9.height
155mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.
Projection quality
1.ANSI lumens
200lumens
The light projected by the device is brighter, i.e. it has a higher ANSI lumens measurement.
2.contrast ratio
100000:1
Contrast ratio is the visual distance between the lightest and the darkest colors that may be reproduced on the display. A high contrast ratio is desired, resulting in richer dark colors and more distinctive color gradation.
3.response time
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Response time is how long it takes for a display to change the state of pixels, in order to show new content. The less time it takes to respond, the less likely it is to blur fast-changing images.

Motorized or power zoom lenses allow the user to remotely press a switch, for example on a remote control, causing the projector to automatically zoom in or out and correct the size of the image.
8.zoom ratio
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A projector zoom allows you to increase or decrease the size of the projected image without moving the projector. The most common zoom ratio among today's projectors is 1.2, which means you can vary the image size by 20% by simply adjusting the zoom lens.
9.has a display enabled for HDR10+
