What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

What customers like about Magcubic HY320 Pro

  • At 0.59 kg it is easy to carry in a bag.
  • 100 mm width takes up little space on a shelf.
  • 25 dB noise level is quiet enough for a bedroom.
  • Auto keystone correction straightens the picture on its own.
  • Android OS gives access to streaming apps on the projector itself.
  • HLG support handles broadcast-style HDR video.

What customers don't like about Magcubic HY320 Pro

  • 400 ANSI lumens only works well in a dark room.
  • The largest picture is 135 inch.
  • Keystone correction reaches only 15 degrees, so it must sit nearly square to the screen.
  • Only one HDMI port and one USB port limit connections.
  • The 5 W sound is modest and not stereo.

Verdict

At 0.59 kg and 100 mm wide, the Magcubic HY320 Pro fits on a bedside shelf or in a travel bag. Auto-focus and auto keystone correction set up the picture with little effort, and Android OS lets you open streaming apps on it directly. At 25 dB of noise, it is quiet enough for a bedroom. HLG support handles broadcast-style HDR video, and it can be mounted on a ceiling. The trade-off is brightness. At 400 ANSI lumens it needs a dark room, and the largest picture is 135 inch, so a big wall is out of reach. Keystone correction reaches only 15 degrees, so the projector needs to sit close to square with the screen. It suits someone who wants a quiet, light projector for films in a dark bedroom or small room, not a bright living room.
