Magcubic HY300 Pro+
#33 in Under 1080pFull review
A cheap bedroom or kids’ room projector for dark rooms, with a better speaker than the HY300 Pro. Its 720p panel puts it behind any native 1080p projector for sharpness.

2.7/5
A cheap app equipped mini for small rooms where the projector has to sit close to the wall. Its brightness and resolution are unverified, so expect a dark room picture.
