Not entirely sure but it looks like a hy300pro projector a friend let me borrow. It's on Amazon for $69.99.

I've only used it a few times so far and when I was trying to watch YouTube videos it would lag a lot but it worked fine with Netflix. Definitely not the best projector and I see why my friend wasn't using it.
I might get shit on for this but I bought the HY300 Pro off Aliexpress and legit been so impressed with it. It's like 20 dollars and has built in android and speakers, picture looks really good to me as well :)
It's probably not the best in a bright room though
Last year, I bought a Magcubic HY300PRO Mini Projector because TikTok told me to. I've LOVED having a projector instead of a tv, but the picture quality is really bad. If the shows too dark or too light, I can't see. Its also horribly grainy.
I use a speaker, so sound quality isnt a big deal, but reach and picture quality are a must. My livingroom is 15ft, and budget is around $500. Does anyone have a good recommendation?
Hy300 Pro
Make sure it’s the pro and buy it for the cheapest price in whatever brand you can find on Temu and Amazon for 40 to 50 bucks. It’s a generic product that different companies slap their name on. I like mine.
Find anything?
I got a cheap one on amazon a couple years ago for $99 and the bulb is half burnt making the image distorted/dark. Was probably worth it for how much use it has had but these cheap ones aren't built to have the lamp replaced. Thats a $50/year option, but I'd rather find something quality that'll last a bit longer.
The top reviewed prime option isn't half bad for $40 if you are looking cheap [https://a.co/d/0H4AR4Z](https://a.co/d/0H4AR4Z)
got a happrun H1 for about $50 just for when traveling, and its pretty great so far, i do expect it will suddenly die too, but if i get a few vacations out of it, its worth it.
Also my work found a large box full of the HY300 Pro units projectors, so i got one of those as well and its half way decent.
My main projector is a BenQ X3000i, but those cheap toy ones are not bad if you dont want to track down a used one on FBM or craigslist, and just want to have a bit of fun, and know that they may die at any time.
no, also its the hy300 pro just rebranded and they charge you for shipping, you could get this [https://a.co/d/6Q9sNf4](https://a.co/d/6Q9sNf4) instead with free shipping, but i wouldnt get that either.
This happrun h1 would be much better [https://a.co/d/6eoDWpF](https://a.co/d/6eoDWpF) as far as cheap Chinese projectors go.
Got the h1 for like $50 bucks just to take on a trip and not worry if it broke, have an hy300 pro as well, we found a box of them outside my work, its just ok, but lower resolution and lower brightness as well as higher latency for gaming than the happrun H1, so id suggest it if you are dead set on a cheap one from amazon. (my main projector is a benq x3000i though)
Though best option would be to try to find a used name brand one on marketplace, like epson, benq, viewsonic, etc.

Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.
