suggest you spend more money buy Benq GV50 if you can. especail do not buy thise under $300 junk .....

Let’s be real—no projector is *actually* practical for use in broad daylight, but inside a car? Totally doable. The cool thing about the BenQ GV50 is its laser light source—super saturated colors, so even watching YouTube during the day is decent. What really makes it stand out though is the built-in battery, high-wattage speakers, and the fact that you can just hotspot from your phone and stream right away. For people on the go, that kind of all-in-one setup is seriously clutch.

Watch this video and think a lot about brightness. Those Hitachi models are a order of magnitude brighter than what you will be buying. Like they may be 1,500 or so lumens compared to 200-300 that you get the from Nebula Capsule models. [https://youtu.be/jmmGQOSAReI?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/jmmGQOSAReI?feature=shared) The BenQ GV50 is well reviewed in that video, and may be a bit better in performance if you can get it in your budget, but none of the portable models are light cannons. Check the rated brightness of the Hitachi models you currently own. Not sure the resolution of them, or their throw distance, or anything else to give you some reasonable comparisons, so that information could have been useful. I'd make an effort to avoid using keystone correction with whatever you have as that will make a difference in overall quality.

Watch this video... [https://youtu.be/jmmGQOSAReI?si=4gB4OUtlZ-zOa\_D0](https://youtu.be/jmmGQOSAReI?si=4gB4OUtlZ-zOa_D0) The BenQ GV50 is a really solid choice in this class. Traditional lamp-based projectors will be much brighter than these smaller portable models.

The Hook Up is well respected and the author regularly posts at AVS Forum. His reviews have jumped a bunch in quality over the last couple of years as he's gotten better measurement tools and has tried to standardize his reviews to meaningful data. He doesn't measure customer service or reliability though, so a projector with a strong review, like the JMGO, still means you have a JMGO which may not have any USA based service or support if you run into an issue. In contrast, BenQ has USA based service and support which can be quite nice if you do have a warranty issue. Be aware of this tool and the terms used on it...

Higher brightness doesn't mean it has better picture quality, you should try both in person and also watch the Hook Up review as a reference. https://preview.redd.it/pwb1wjd73fie1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de1470bc9734434714cb9ff1b89cf0f53f50a03c This is the picture performance of my GV50, 500 lumen with laser light source is more than enough.

the jmgo n1s is outdated by now, as there is the n1s 4k now. I got the benqGV50 back in the day but I wouldn't use it anymore today. check out the Mogo 3 Pro, its way more portable, has netflix, keystone is simple. I will have to say that the n1s beats the mogo 3 pro in terms of sound, but the n1s is bigger and with its carrying case it got even bigger bigger (I know thats no english :D). I ordered a 70 inch portable screen which wouldn't fit your van ,but it would fit outside of the van: [https://us.xgimi.com/products/xgimi-portable-outdoor-screen](https://us.xgimi.com/products/xgimi-portable-outdoor-screen) however i use the XGIMI 50" Screen P124S whenever the space is tight.

Thank you for mentioning this. I'm also torn between the BenQ GV50 and JMGO N1S. N1S is double the brightness, but also double the cost basically, and I would have to carry a special USB-C to DC19V adapter -- and doesn't have a backup internal battery. Will probably also not fit inside my bag, so I'll have to carry another bag to take it anywhere. I think the true portable in this case is the BenQ GV50. The JMGO N1S is portable in the sense of moving it around the house most of the time. Still, I have 65w+ USB-C chargers around the house in various places, but every time I move the N1S I would have to carry the adapter, which may or may not work in every place. And to complicate things further. JMGO just launched the PicoFlix, which is super portable, but not a bright as the GV50. Which one would you go for btw?

I went from cheaper 70inch 4k Samsung to benq 1080p projector I purchased on eBay. Even though the resolution isn’t as good I prefer the projector by a long shot. I love it
