While you may not expect a premium cinematic experience while lounging in bed, good visuals and sound still need to be on hand. It’s not enough to simply throw light onto a ceiling, that light has to be well-formed for everything from movies to games to be properly consumed.
The BenQ GV30 has a native resolution of 720p, or 1280 x 720. The Anker Nebula Capsule II has the same resolution. However, picture quality extends beyond pixel count. The GV30 offers 300 ANSI lumen brightness, compared to 200 ANSI lumens for the Nebula Capsule II. This makes a difference, especially if you want to use the projectors in bedrooms with more ambient illumination.
While the Anker Nebula Capsule II only has two picture modes, the BenQ GV30 features six of them to accommodate different viewing needs and situations. The six modes are Bright, Living Room, Game, Sports, Cinema, and Day Time. As you can tell, our engineers tried to encompass different ambient light conditions as well as different content types, from movies to sports and gaming. This helps the GV30 be a very versatile portable projector, unlike most of its competitors. That’s something PC Mag definitely noticed in their GV30 review.
