Like most modern projectors, the GS50 runs Android TV, which gives it access to most streaming platforms (except Netflix, so we had to use a bizarre workaround ), allowing you to stream video easily once connected to your home Wi-Fi network. It has automatic vertical keystoning (that’s adjusting for the low angle you’re projecting it up at, transforming a trapezoid into the proper rectangular shape) and eye-protection mode that will interrupt the projection if it detects you walking in front of it. The GS50 isn’t the brightest or sharpest projector we tried, nor does it have the deepest, darkest blacks-but it’s still plenty good enough, projecting a pleasing video for the hypersaturated colors and fast motion of “Thor: Love and Thunder.” It also had one of the better battery life results in our testing, going for a full three hours and 45 minutes while in eco mode. And the retro design is fun, especially in a category that can skew rather boring. The GS50 also comes with an adjustable built-in stand and a faux-leather carrying handle as well as a handy carrying case for schlepping around that will also keep the projector from getting dusty in winter storage. That’s not enough to survive a rainstorm or a tumble out of a moving car, but if a marauding child splashes it with soda or a tipsy guest knocks it off a low table, it’s not an instant write-off. It’s splashproof, and drop proof to 70 centimeters (a little over 2 feet). While it’s a bit heavier and bigger than other, similarly priced devices including the XGimi Halo+ and the Anker Capsule 3, both of which we address below, the advantage is the GS50 has a layer of protection that no other devices bothers with. With the GS50, BenQ has established what most other outdoor projector brands seem to have missed: This thing is designed to go outdoors.
