Description
The BenQ GV50 is a compact laser lifestyle projector designed to live on a nightstand rather than a rack. Up to 135 degrees of vertical adjustment and 360-degree screen rotation let it switch instantly between wall and ceiling projection, so a 120-inch Full HD picture can appear directly above the bed without taking up any extra floor or table space.
A long-life laser light source delivers 500 ANSI lumens with BenQ's CinematicColor technology and support for HDR10 and HLG content, while a built-in 2.1-channel 18W speaker system with dedicated bass handles audio without external speakers. Google TV is built in, giving direct access to major streaming apps out of the box.
A Night Shift mode reduces eye strain for late viewing, a sleep timer switches the unit off automatically, and a USB-C port adds flexible power and connectivity options, making the GV50 a self-contained bedroom or casual living space projector.
Key features
135° vertical tilt and 360° rotation allow instant switching between wall and ceiling projection.

Direct access to Netflix, Prime Video and other streaming apps without extra hardware.
