Our Verdict
BenQ GV30
Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen
The Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen is better than the BenQ GV30. The Samsung has much better color accuracy, especially after calibration, so it offers superior image quality. Portability-wise, the BenQ has a battery, but the Samsung is smaller and has full auto keystone correction, making it even easier to carry around than the BenQ as long as you have access to an outlet or a portable battery pack.
