Buying call

The GV50 is a portable 1080p laser projector with a built-in battery, a magnetic tilting base for ceiling viewing, a full smart TV platform and robust audio for its size. It's great for casual viewing, but it's not bright enough for daylight, the battery lasts only about 2.5 hours, and SDR shadow detail suffers.
