Hi! So I bought MagCubic HY300 recently but I returned it. Here's my personal review - It's 720p resolution, which means all apps will run at 720p or HD Quality, like Disney+, Netflix, etc. The only exception here I noticed is Youtube, which that can run up to 4k. - I dislike the colors its producing, it has so much blue in its RGB aspect of colors. Too cold color temp for my taste and it's difficult to adjust, heck even adjusting the RGB is non existent. There's only Hue and Saturation available for quality adjustment. - I have only encountered this on Disney+, but whenever you try to play anything in it, it will not load and the audio will stop working even when switching to another app, your only option is to clear cache or reboot the unit - There is 0.5s-1s delay when I tried playing with Xbox Controller + It is a decent unit if you are not really picky and just want to watch conveniently + Audio is decent too if you are in a small room, it lacks bass though but it's there + Wifi, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB (keyboard) all are working flawlessly + Actually easy to use and portable Adjusting the four points trapezoid to adjust to you viewing preference is a challenge, but it will do Adjusting the focus is on the top of the HY300 and its like a scroll mousewheel Check Catymandoo's suggestion - The Hook Up Round off for projectors 2024. Hit me a pm if you'd like to see some samples.

I did this rig some time ago and couldn't bear the projector's delay. It might be my HY300's problem but at the time I was playing DMC4 and it was nasty. Ended up exchanging the same projector for some games from some dude who sold his PS3.

r/projectorsOkay, I know the HY300 is heavily criticized on this sub. But is it not even good for something basic like playing YouTube on my ceiling in a dark room, or connecting my laptop to it and playing a movie?

Yea I’ve had mine for about 2 years now. Works fine just a little glitchy at times, nothing that doesn’t go away with a restart tho. The resolution is generally pretty pixely no matter what tho.

For me it works strangely well without blocks etc. for the price paid 18 euros it also looks good it should be hy300 the name of the projector

I am looking into buying the HY320MINI from Temu. I curently have the hy300 and I am quite satisfied, I use it for PS4 gaming and Youtube. My room is 18m². Is it worth the upgrade for like 10€ more than I paid. I live in the EU

That's the thing, could last a month could last a few years, hard to say. I bought one to use in my garage as a toy especially and its image is pixely but fine if you don't expect much. It is 720 p so don't expect magic but it works. I have a main home theater in my basement and it is not even a comparison to a real projector. However it can look fine and is small and portable and cheap, you get what you pay for.

r/projectorsTime to upgrade my ceiling projector – need suggestions!
9 months ago

Hey everyone, Looking for a projector to use on the ceiling, mainly for watching stuff from bed at night. I’ve been doing this for a while and really enjoy it, so I’m ready to upgrade. About a year ago I bought a MAGSHITCUBIC HY300 on Aliexpress for 20€, super cheap, just to try the setup. It actually worked fine for a while, but now the image has developed some slightly visible brownish spots, probably due to heat or dust buildup. Now that I know I like this kind of setup, I want something better. Ideally: -Good brightness -Better contrast & resolution -Quiet fan -Decent durability Budget is flexible, just looking for something clearly better than this junky starter model. Any tips or recommendations are super welcome, thanks! 🙌 Also, I’m curious, has anyone else tried projecting onto the ceiling from bed at night? Do you think it’s a decent setup, or does it potentially cause issues for the projector over time (heat, orientation, etc.)?
