Other than portability and the option to project massive images on any surface, the GS2 doesn’t offer much.

BenQ GS2 Smart Wireless LED Portable Projector Review

4.0

The attractive BenQ GS2 portable projector is outdoor-ready with a splash-proof and drop-proof design, family friendly with a magnetic power cord and wireless capabilities, and it offers surprisingly good color.

BenQ GS2 Review

3.0

The BenQ GS2 gets enough right—image quality, water resistance, easy setup—to make it worth considering. But disappointing onboard audio and flawed built-in streaming keep it from being a slam-dunk pick for a portable entertainment projector.
