I recently purchased my first projector and was quite impressed with the Vivibright GP100U. It’s basically an affordable home projector which can be used to project movies and used for presentations. I purchased it from here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gearbest.com\/projectors\/pp_775870.html?lkid=12315655<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an unboxing video so check it out:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At the time when I purchased this projector, it cost\u00a0around the $220. I purchased the Android version as I wanted to stream some movies from YouTube and other streaming services. Yes – it has basically an android player which you can also use to install other Apps or even Games. Now if you don’t want to pay more for the Android version, it does have two HDMI ports and two USB ports. You can directly use the USB ports and play movies that way too, or you can connect a HDMI device like a computer, laptop, set top box, DVD player or anything that has a HDMI\u00a0(otherwise convert your device to HDMI and you’re set).<\/p>\n<p>The box contains the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Power cable (EU)<\/li>\n<li>Remote control<\/li>\n<li>Manual (very short and not useful)<\/li>\n<li>Video cable RCA<\/li>\n<li>VGA cable (not sure why they wouldn’t include a HDMI cable as that’s the standard)<\/li>\n<li>Projector<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17345\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U--768x666.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Business Legions - Review ViviBright GP100U\" width=\"768\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U--768x666.jpg?strip=all 768w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.2&resize=768%2C666 153w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.4&resize=768%2C666 307w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.6&resize=768%2C666 460w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.8&resize=768%2C666 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17346\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2-883x666.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Business Legions - Review ViviBright GP100U 2\" width=\"883\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2-883x666.jpg?strip=all 883w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2-300x225.jpg?strip=all 300w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2-178x134.jpg?strip=all 178w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.4&resize=883%2C666 353w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.6&resize=883%2C666 529w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Review-ViviBright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.8&resize=883%2C666 706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was impressed with the quality of the video being projected – it was a native 720p. The text was clear when connecting a laptop and using powerpoint or even searching the web. Even using the browser on the internal Android player was readable.<\/p>\n<p>If you needed to change and use the Android Player, you need to press the input button and then select the first option (Android). Once you’re in the Android player, you can then configure the WiFi settings and you’ll need to login using your Google Gmail account to install apps or games on Google Play.<\/p>\n<p>There are internal speakers which are quite loud with decent quality. If you want to connect to your AMP or external speakers there is an audio jack you can use on the back.\u00a0I haven’t managed to figure out how to turn off the “Loading Sound”\u00a0when the projector is first turned on. It can get annoying and loud too when connecting to an amp or speaker.<\/p>\n<p>The only Cons I have with this projector are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fan noise<\/strong> – the fan noise is quite loud. I guess you would need a powerful fan to keep the projector cool, but I would have thought they could have added an option to turn the speed of the fan or even use a quieter fan. I plan to change this fan when the warranty expires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brightness<\/strong> – there are no options to change the brightness. The default setting is 3200 Lms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power cable<\/strong> – the original power cable the unit comes with is for EU. They do send an adaptor that converts the EU to other regions but I prefer not to use these adapters as they are very flimsy and break easily. Luckily I had a spare IEC cable (ones you can use from the monitors)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall I’m quite impressed with the projector and have used it to watch movies, play games and used it for presentations. I even purchased a portable 120″ projector stand so I can move it around. I have also projected on white walls and it still looked great. The below photos does not do it justice.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17349\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-883x666.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Business Legions - Vivibright GP100U\" width=\"883\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-883x666.jpg?strip=all 883w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.2&resize=883%2C666 176w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.4&resize=883%2C666 353w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.6&resize=883%2C666 529w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.8&resize=883%2C666 706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17348\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2-883x666.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Business Legions - Vivibright GP100U 2\" width=\"883\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2-883x666.jpg?strip=all 883w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.2&resize=883%2C666 176w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.4&resize=883%2C666 353w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.6&resize=883%2C666 529w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Business-Legions-Vivibright-GP100U-2.jpg?strip=all&zoom=0.8&resize=883%2C666 706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information about this projector click here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gearbest.com\/projectors\/pp_775870.html?lkid=12315655\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.gearbest.com\/projectors\/pp_775870.html?lkid=12315655<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"lt-box\" style=\"border:1px solid #1d6a9e\"><div class=\"lt-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#2485C6;border-top:1px solid #a7cee8;text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #0b283b\">DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'VE READ?<\/div><div class=\"lt-box-content\">Join our subscription list and receive our content right in your mailbox.
