You don’t need a dock to connect the Switch to BenQ’s new bedside projector

Designed for bedroom use, the $799 (on sale for $599) GV50 features a pivoting base so it can project on a wall or the ceiling above a bed.

It runs Google TV so streaming apps like Netflix can be installed, and support for DisplayPort Alt Mode means the Nintendo Switch can be connected using just a single USB-C cable.

The BenQ GV50’s base allows the projector to be easily angled or pointed at the ceiling instead of a wall.
