I owned all 3: GV30,31,50
By Tamim on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025
So, I think the winner is GV31! All have incredible design, sound, picture, and convenience(auto-focus, battery). Watching on ceiling while in bed is a must, and no extra stands needed. I’m literally considering selling my LG OLED tv, as the picture size is incredible. The little 720p GV30 projected onto my wall with a 180” diagonal, and still looked great! But the GV30’s Drop to 720p is somewhat noticeable as well as its lack of Netflix compatibility, but $250 is a perfect price, and you won’t be disappointed if u are a casual user or a young family watching movies. All projector have HDMI PORTS, but the GV30 is the only one that has just enough internal space to all the BenQ dongle to be replaced with an Amazon Fire Stick Lite. It will allow Netflix, and some people can turn the Amazon Stick into a video game console. The GV50 would have been the best, but it was incredibly laggy! Took an hour to setup, Google TV built in forced BenQ to compromise the quality of the user interface. I could stand the long delays with remote inputs, it was many seconds long, each click on the remote. Also, you can plug in your own Amazon/Roku/Apple TV into the ports, but for convenience and travel, it defeats the purpose to a degree. If you intend to use an Apple TV, or other dongle, then this projector is for you. But I prefer portability, grab and go, no extra parts, cable. The GV 31, seemed to have the least fan noise. I watch at night with very low volume, and the fan was noticeably less loud, however, a nice bonus. With normal volume, all three projectors produced incredible sound, you can’t hear the fan noise. For Yaber T and L, the fan was much much louder in comparison. Also, Android TV on GV 31 is better than the GV50 google TV, by far! If google or BenQ can update the OS and remove the delays, then GV50 would be the best, with 500 ANSI Lumens. But for now, using it was a nightmare. Please fix it BenQ! I’d pick up the following at these prices GV50: $600 or below GV31: $450 or below(Winner) GV30: $250 or below I kept the GV 31, seems to be the best value, in my opinion. Bonus, if you plug you nintendo switch directly into the GV 31 or 50, its works immediately, no nintendo dock needed! You need a specific USB-C cable that supports video and PD(power delivery) for about $15-$25. I recommend Belkin or CableMatters.

The best

Best little projector. Clear, sounds great and very easy to use. It's great when you have a bad back and project it on the ceiling!
