Immersive Sound for a Complete Experience
The GV50 doesn’t just deliver exceptional image quality; it also offers impressive sound performance. Its built-in 2.1 audio system, featuring two 4W speakers and a 10W subwoofer, delivers rich and powerful sound. CinematicSound technology and Dolby Audio compatibility ensure acoustic clarity and sound immersion worthy of a movie theater.
This high-performance audio system makes the GV50 an all-in-one entertainment solution, eliminating the need for additional external speakers in most setups.
A Smart Platform for Unlimited Entertainment

Compatibility with Google Cast and AirPlay makes it easy to stream content from smartphones, tablets, or computers. The built-in Google Assistant enables intuitive voice control, making the projector even more convenient and user-friendly.
Remarkable Portability and Battery Life
Designed for mobility, the GV50 features a built-in battery offering up to 1.5 hours of runtime. This makes it ideal for outdoor projections or spaces without electrical outlets. Its 0.7m drop resistance enhances durability for on-the-go use.
The GV50’s compact and stylish design makes it easy to transport, allowing you to create a cinema experience wherever you are. Its laser light source, with a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours in eco mode, ensures years of worry-free use.
Versatile Connectivity for All Needs
The GV50 offers comprehensive connectivity to meet all requirements. It includes an HDMI 2.0b port, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort compatibility. The latter not only allows content projection but also charges mobile devices, making the GV50 a practical portable power source.
Support for dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 ensures stable and fast wireless connectivity, ideal for streaming and cable-free content sharing.
What the press says
The GV50 represents a significant evolution of this now well-known portable format from BenQ. This projector is brighter, which is clearly noticeable in the image, even though contrast dynamics remain limited. The multiple settings for projecting in any direction are well designed, and both the automatic keystone correction and focus work perfectly. The sound is decent; many users will find it satisfactory. The only downside concerns the slow response when navigating, as each action on the remote is rarely processed immediately. This will surely be an area for improvement in the next generation.
