Verdict

The HP MC400 is an ultra-compact, smart portable projector featuring a native HD resolution of 1280 x 720 and a brightness of 150 ISO lumens, delivered through a long-lasting LED light source rated for up to 30,000 hours. Its standout characteristics include an intuitive 90-degree swivel design for versatile wall or ceiling projection, a short throw ratio of 0.9:1 capable of producing a 90-inch image from just 2 metres, and a built-in app store with wireless mirroring for iOS and Android. Main pros include its extreme portability at roughly 500g, low power consumption of 40W with USB-C PD power bank support, and integrated auto-keystone and remote-controlled focus for effortless setup. However, notable cons include its relatively low brightness that requires dark room settings for optimal viewing, lack of an optical zoom lens, and a single 3W mono speaker that may necessitate external audio via its Bluetooth 5.4 or 3.5mm jack.
