BenQ Joybee CP1 Pocket Projector [CP1 PhlatLight LED Touting Mini Projector]

Earlier this week we covered the newly announced BenQ Joybook Lite T131 netbook and now we follow up with news concerning BenQ’s latest mini/pocket projector – the BenQ Joybee CP1 – which us powered by Luminus Devices’ award winning PhlatLight LEDs ensuring industry leading levels of brightness and performance making the BenQ Joybee CP1 ‘an ideal mobile entertainment companion for instant projection anywhere’.

The BenQ Joybee CP1 Pocket Projector, which utilises the PT-39 PhlatLight LED chipset and which was demonstrated at the InfoComm Conference 2009 in Orlando, Florida, offers up SVGA (858 x 600) resolution, 100 ANSI lumens, and a not too shabby 2000:1 contrast ratio and, according to BenQ’s press blurb, is set to become ‘the projector of choice for business travelers and video game loyalists alike’. Of course whether or not this transpires to be the case cannot be qualified but the fact that BenQ claim that their Joybee CP1 Pocket Projector will come in at just under $500 a pop certainly does nothing to stem its desirability in comparison with other pocket projectors currently out there.

There’s no word from BenQ concerning a specific release date at this juncture – but then BenQ have, certainly in my experience, never proved particularly forthcoming with such trifling details in their press releases.
