Verdict

The Magcubic HY450C is a native 1080p Full HD ultra-short-throw projector featuring a 0.6:1 throw ratio that allows for a 100-inch screen from just 1.3 metres away. It delivers 900 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 26,000:1 contrast ratio, supported by an Allwinner H716 processor with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and an Android 11 operating system. Key advantages include its autofocus and auto-keystone capabilities, built-in dual 5W Hi-Fi speakers, and advanced connectivity with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. However, common drawbacks include a lack of optical zoom, relatively high fan noise, and potential focus uniformity issues where corners may appear blurry when the centre is sharp.

What customers like about Magcubic HY450C?

  • Impressive 0.6:1 ultra-short throw ratio, allowing for a 100-inch screen from just 1.3 metres away.
  • High brightness for its class, rated at 900 ANSI lumens, which outperforms many other budget models in moderately lit rooms.
  • Effective autofocus and auto keystone correction systems that simplify the initial setup.
  • Decent built-in stereo sound quality, with some users noting it is significantly better than previous Magcubic models.
  • Smooth Android 11 performance with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, facilitating fluid app navigation.
  • Excellent value for money, often cited as a more affordable alternative to a large television.

What customers dislike about Magcubic HY450C?

  • Noticeable loss of sharpness or blurring at the corners of the image when the centre is perfectly focused.
  • Lack of official licensing for apps like Netflix, which may limit streaming to standard definition rather than Full HD.
  • Relatively loud fan noise that some users compare to a vacuum cleaner.
  • Absence of a standard tripod mount or threaded holes, making ceiling or wall installation difficult without custom brackets.
  • Poor depth of field, making it difficult to maintain focus if the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen.
  • Occasional overheating issues reported by some long-term users.
