"But will it do the job I need for the budget price I am willing to pay right now? Absolutely. And if it breaks in a year? I’ll probably buy another one, or by that time, perhaps I’ll have money to buy a better one. ... I'm beyond happy to have a $100 one in my bedroom so I can watch an episode of Seinfeld or a late show with my wife before we fall asleep."
"About a year ago I bought a MAGSHITCUBIC HY300 on Aliexpress for 20€, super cheap, just to try the setup. ... I actually started with the HY300 just to try ceiling projection. ... For me these little cheap projectors are worth the price you pay for them under 70/80€ they are ok"
"Not bad for $70 on Amazon. ... But for the price, I’m fine with it. I think I paid $70 for it."

"Fan’s pretty quiet, I haven’t noticed it at all while watching, though it is down at the foot of our bed."

"for my needs, it's great and I'm keeping it. ... It was called the Magcubic Mini and yes I’m very happy with it, still. Use it all the time! ... for watching shows in bed it’s amazing."
"I'm beyond happy to have a $100 one in my bedroom so I can watch an episode of Seinfeld or a late show with my wife before we fall asleep. ... Yeah, foot of the bed. Works great!"
"I usually fall asleep after about 20 minutes, and the projector turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. ... Honestly, most of the time I just put on something like a video, livestream, or a show/cartoon I'm into, then I lie on my side and fall asleep, breaking the sacred ‘vampire-in-a-sarcophagus’ pose. I don’t think I’ve ever used it for more than half an hour. Once the content ends, the projector automatically shuts off after 5 minutes of inactivity. ... I just watch for a bit, then either fall asleep or turn it off. Sometimes I even use it in black and white, and the eye protection mode (blue light filter) kicks in automatically after 9 PM. Super relaxing setup."

"I’ve always had it in a dark room with curtains. So it looks nice anytime of day lol."
"It's quite fit for purpose, when your purpose is "my room is 100% blackout, and my eyesight isn't quite good enough to notice bad contrast/slightly fuzzy edges any more"."
"It’s also not hugely bright unless you’re in a dark room, but again I am 90% of the time."

"now the image has developed some slightly visible brownish spots, probably due to heat or dust buildup."
"high chance of burning the polarizer filter someday (months??) in the future"

"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."
"There is 0.5s-1s delay when I tried playing with Xbox Controller"

"non-sealed optics which will become annoying unless disassembled and cleaned semi-regularly, which would be a PITA ... wouldn't get dust inside the lenses"

"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"
"720p is not bad, audio is ok, but Google Cast is missing, only AirPlay and Miracast are present ... Do you know if it has Google Cast support? That’s something I’d really like to have."

ergauravpro 0.4I have owned 4 models of Magcubic & one of Salange. Hy300 mini, HY300, HT600 (android version) & HY450. I will say that HT600 had best clarity, sharpness & contrast but it had to be kept far, HY450 is definitely brightest, loudest both in terms of speakers as well as fan, contrast is second best but looks cheap in comparison to HT600. Also HY450 gets 2gb RAM/32GB storage whereas others get 1gb RAM & 8 or 16gb storage

Low-Chemical435 0.4Ngl I went with this one https://yt-electras.com/products/projector-hy300-4k it was pretty cheap I mean it’s only 60 bucks and it works really well.
AgreeableWrap3004 0.3Hi! 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.
alex18199 0.3I 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.
coolweeb69 0.3after three months basically. essentially its an subscription for a low quality throwaway projector
Devichii 0.3Yea 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.
Exotic_Agent2860 0.3For 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
Few_Ad_2484 0.3Get one of those hy300 go to the tic tok shop there cheaper there than Amazon
gal_jerin 0.3I 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
Glittering_Ad1664 0.3The issue is not the image but the build quality, it will die eventually, money wasted
