However, this includes decent speakers which are easily loud enough to fill a room and a well designed carry case which is little bigger than the projector yet has room for the power supply and remote. It’s a little bigger than rivals at 138 x 135 x 119mm and a bit heavier at 1.5kg. One of the best-looking portable projectors, the CC Aurora is designed as an all-in-one unit for watching films with your mates… anywhere. Plus, an HDMI input means you can connect a laptop, games console or DVD / Blu-ray player. There’s no on-board storage for videos, but there is a microSD slot for adding your own, and two USB ports for playing from a USB stick or hard drive. Vertical keystone is corrected automatically (so you end up with a rectangular image even when projecting at an angle) but focus is manual. Also, there are several pre-sets for correcting colours when projecting onto non-white walls. The 1280×720 DLP chip does a great job in tandem with a 300 lumen LED to project vibrant, but accurate colours.ģ00 lumens isn’t a lot, so you won’t be watching anything in broad daylight but at dusk or night, it’s perfectly good. Once you’re engrossed in a film, you won’t even notice that the resolution isn’t full HD. Most importantly, image quality is very good. The carry case isn’t the smallest, but at least it’s included in the box. However, it might be wise to pair a Bluetooth keyboard since the included remote makes it very fiddly to enter Wi-Fi passwords and search terms for online videos. Like others here, it runs Android and can stream from the internet if you happen to have a Wi-Fi connection. But if you prefer, it’s also possible to stream audio from it to your own Bluetooth speaker or headphones (and there’s a standard minijack connection for a wired speaker or headphones, too.) Speakers are built in and, although not amazingly loud, mean you don’t need to bring anything else with you. One slight design niggle is that the tripod mount is hidden when you attach the battery, so you can only use a tripod on mains power. It comes with a removable battery which lasts about three hours – long enough for virtually any movie and since it’s swappable, you can carry a spare and carry on watching. With the included rubber case, it’s even weather proof so you can carry on watching a film if it starts raining. It weighs less than a kilo including the battery and can project a 60in image from 1m. The GS1 is a portable projector designed for the great outdoors.
